Soon after Rosa Parks declined the bus driver called the police and the police arrested Rosa Parks for disobeying the law. Rosa Parks was by standing up to an Alabama law requiring black bus riders to give seats up to white passengers. There was also a second time she got arrested for the same reason. The second time she got arrested was on Feb. 22, 1956.

When Rosa Parks did these actions it attracted attention to many other people to want to stop racism. This helped people like MLK.
