Noticed yearly on December 1st, Rosa Parks Day 2025 commemorates the brave act of civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus to a white man in 1955. Her act of defiance sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, a pivotal second within the American Civil Rights Motion.
Today serves as a reminder of the continued wrestle for racial equality and social justice. It is a chance to replicate on the sacrifices made by those that fought for civil rights and to recommit to the work of making a extra simply and equitable society.
