What activist initiated the civil rights movement by refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus to a white passenger in 1955?

Rosa Parks initiated the civil rights movement in the United States by refusing to give up her seat on an Alabama bus to a white passenger in 1955. The leaders of the local Black community were motivated by her acts to launch the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott super headed by Martin Luther King Jr., lasted more than a year, during which Parks lost her job, and did not stop until the U.S. Supreme Court determined that segregation on buses was unconstitutional.
