Rosa Parks Day is observed on December 1 in honor of civil rights activist Rosa Parks, commemorating her 1955 act of resistance when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The observance recognizes her role in inspiring the Montgomery Bus Boycott and advancing the broader Civil Rights Movement. The day is used to educate about racial justice, nonviolent protest, and civic action.
