Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955 for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was the secretary for the local NAACP chapter and had undergone civil rights training. E.D. Nixon, president of the NAACP, called lawyer Fred Gray to represent Parks and Gray contacted Jo Ann Robinson to plan a one-day boycott of the buses. Nixon also persuaded a young minister, Martin Luther King Jr., to support the boycott, and King was elected president of the new Montgomery Improvement Association to organize the boycott.
