- (1913-2005) a woman who was associated with the start of the civil rights movement in the US. In 1955 she refused to sit in the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, as the local law required her to do as an African American. She was arrested, and Martin Luther King then urged African Americans to refuse to use the buses. This forced the city to change the law.
