The civil rights era began when a African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her seat on a bus to a white man. This started a boycott by other African Americans who refused to sit at the back of the bus. A young minister named, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was chosen to lead the protest and the civil rights movement.
