Some say the civil rights movement in the US started on December 1, 1955, the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person and was arrested and fined for her troubles. (The WEHT.net webmeister wonders out loud…Who was the guy she refused to give up her seat to…and whatever happened to him?…stay tuned, I hope)
