Parks was not sitting in a whites-only section

Rosa Parks did not sit in the white-only section of the bus, which is one of the most interesting facts about biography of Rosa Parks. On December 1, 1955, Parks was riding a crowded Montgomery municipal bus when the driver urged Parks and other Black passengers to surrender their seats and stand after observing white passengers standing in the aisle. Parks, on the other hand, sat in the front row of a middle portion of the bus that was open to African Americans if seats were available. The driver ordered that Parks and three others in the row leave their seats after the "whites-only" section filled up on subsequent stops and a white guy was left standing. While the other three eventually moved, Parks remained stationary, prompting the bus driver to summon the cops.

Parks addressed the idea that she refused to leave her seat because she was exhausted after a hard day at work in her book. "I was not physically fatigued, or any more tired than I usually am after a working day," she wrote. I was not old, despite some people's perceptions of me at the time. I was forty-two years old at the time. No, the only thing that made me tired was giving in."
