File Under: Death of a US Legend
According to the office of US Rep. John Conyers says that Rosa Parks has passed away at the age of 92. She is most famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955, when she refused a bus driver's order to move for white people who were boarding the bus. She was arrested, tried, and convicted for disorderly conduct. The Montgomery Bus Boycott ensued, which helped other protest against segregation, and played a crucial role in the civil rights struggle.
