Segregation in the bus: white people in the front , black people in the back.
If the front of the bus was crowded, black people had to give up their seats for white passengers
During the Bus Boycott, black people refused to take the bus, to force the bus company to lift the racist rules.
This was successful. The bus company almost went bankrupt and eventually changed the rules, allowing free choice of seats for everybody.
Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat to a white passenger in the bus.
