Respuesta :

Rosa parks helped initiate the civil rights movement in the U.S when she refused to give up her seat at the front of the bus to a white male in 1955.

Answer:

She started a bus boycott.

Explanation:

Rosa Parks, although not the first, refused to give up her seat for a white person, something that was outlawed in the 60's. This caused other Black people to stop using buses and public transportation, instead walking or carpooling to get work. This drastically lowered revenue brought in from public transportation and was yet another step in making segregation illegal.
