The video discusses the segregation laws in Montgomery, Alabama, where blacks were required to sit at the back of buses. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger, leading to her arrest. This act of defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, led by Martin Luther King Jr., which lasted 381 days and resulted in the Supreme Court declaring bus segregation illegal. Rosa Parks became a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement, earning the title 'mother of the movement'.
