I learned in Black History class that there were lots of people before Rosa Parks who refused to move andgot arrested!
The activist group Rosa Parks was part of had been waiting for years for a good test case. They considered Claudette Colvin, but they figured she wouldn't look right in court because she was kind of a bad girl (or people thought that)
Finally, after years of waiting for the perfect test case, Rosa Parks decided to just do it herself. Because she was a church lady and all
