About This Episode

Hey history detectives! Are you ready for a true story about everyday bravery? We’re traveling back to 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, where the rules were totally unfair. People were told where they could and couldn't sit on the bus based on the color of their skin. But on one legendary day, a quiet, amazing woman named Rosa Parks said a simple but powerful word: “NO!” when told to give up her seat. She was arrested, but her brave choice sparked an incredible revolution!

Find out how the entire city decided to stop riding the buses for an astonishing 381 days (that’s over a year of walking!)! This huge stand of unity brought a young, powerful voice named Martin Luther King Jr. to the world stage and eventually forced the highest court in the land to change the law forever! This is a thrilling episode about finding your voice and standing up (or sitting down!) for what is right!
