Her contribution in bringing equality for African-Americans.

• It all began in December 1955, when Parks was arrested for civil defiance she had refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a crowded machine in the racially segregated city of Montgomery, Alabama.
• Her defiance sparked the drive for ethical equivalency, which brought civil rights stars similar to Martin Luther King Jr into the public eye, and changed the world ever.
• Parks was struck by the similarity in the treatment of African Americans in Detroit, chancing that seminaries and casing were just as insulated as they were in the South.
• She joined the movement for fair casing and advanced her support to original seeker John Conyers in his shot for Congress. Rosa Parks remained active in the civil rights movement in 1960.
