December 1st marks a historic day in the fight for civil rights.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks made a courageous decision that changed the course of American history. After a long day at work in Montgomery, Alabama, she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus. Her quiet strength sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day movement that ignited national change and helped launch the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Rosa Parks wasn’t just tired — she was tired of being treated as less than. Her act of resistance became a global symbol of dignity, courage, and the ongoing struggle for freedom and equality.
Today, 89.9 KMOJ – The People’s Station honors the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.
Her bravery remains a reminder that one person’s stand can move an entire nation.
Rosa Parks. December 1st. A legacy of courage. A legacy we continue.
