Which of these facts about civil rights icon Rosa Parks is FALSE?
Answer She was the first black citizen of Montgomery to be arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person.
While no doubt a civil rights pioneer, Rosa Parks was not actually the first African American to be arrested for defying Montgomery's bus segregation laws. Nine months earlier, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin was arrested for doing the exact same thing. In fact, Parks had helped to fundraise for Colvin's defense!
