Observed annually on December 1st, Rosa Parks Day 2025 commemorates the courageous act of civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who refused to surrender her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus to a white man in 1955. Her act of defiance sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, a pivotal moment in the American Civil Rights Movement.
This day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial equality and social justice. It is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought for civil rights and to recommit to the work of creating a more just and equitable society.
