1955年12月1日，在美国阿拉巴马州（南北战争期间美利坚联盟国的首都，也是实施种族隔离制的代表性城市之一。）蒙特马利镇的一辆公共汽车上，42岁的帕克斯因拒绝给一位白人男子让座被捕。但很快被一位黑人领袖保释了出来。第二天，当地黑人领袖召开会议，在了解到蒙哥马利的公共汽车公司严重依赖黑人乘客之后，他们决定从12月5日开始抵制所有的公共汽车。这一事件也让一个叫做马丁.路德·金的26岁的黑人成为了人权领袖。经过381天的抗争，终于迫使蒙哥马利市的巴士取消种族隔离措施。这次的罢乘公共汽车运动虽然成效有限，虽然未达全面性废除种族隔离措施，但对全美各地的黑人却起了鼓舞作用，并启发他们的灵感，开始一波波争取民权的运动。
