Well the only person I am aware of being historically relevant for sitting at the front of the bus is Rosa Parks. However, she wasn't likely the first. Buses in all black neighborhoods probably had blacks at the front of the bus all the time. It was only an issue if a white person got on the bus. the law said they had to be allowed to sit at the front.

Why does a person standing on a bus is thrown towards the rear of the bus as it starts to move forwards and to the front as it slows down?
This is known as inertia. When the bus is acted upon by an unbalanced force the inertia of the bus differs but not of the person who is standing. So the person continues to be moving forward even if the bus decelerates suddenly until friction acts upon the person or the person catch holds of something and vice versa when the bus accelerates.

During the era when segregation dominated the south, it was illegal for black people to sit in the section of the bus reserved for white people. Black riders were generally expected to sit at the back of the bus. And if the bus was crowded and a white person needed to sit, blacks were expected to give up their seat to the white person.
