Rosa Parks is often and has been called the "mother of the civil rights movement" and one of the most important citizens of the 20th century. Hendricks was Chairman of the Committee on Mileage and the Committee on Invalid Pensions. It tells the story of the events leading up to her historic act of civil disobedience, and how her simple act connects to the larger tapestry of the civil rights movement. He was a member of the state House of Representatives in 1848, a member of the state constitutional convention, and elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-second and Thirty-third Congresses (March 4, 1851 – March 3, 1855).

Thomas Andrews Hendricks (September 7, 1819 – November 25, 1885) was a Representative and a Senator from Indiana and the twenty-first Vice President of the United States. The selection of Parks for a test case supported by the NAACP has been speculated to be in part because she was employed by the NAACP. The NAACP had additionally considered but rejected some earlier protesters deemed unable or unsuitable to withstand the pressure of a legal challenge to segregation laws (see Claudette Colvin and Mary Louise Smith).

Jackie Robinson took a similar, but less-well-known, stand while an Army officer in 1944 in Fort Hood, Texas, refusing to move to the back of a bus. The Rosa Parks case is considered the landmark because it applied to all segregationist laws, not just those affecting interstate commerce. That victory only overturned state segregation laws as applied to actual travel in interstate commerce, such as interstate bus travel.

The NAACP accepted and litigated other cases before, such as that of Irene Morgan, ten years earlier, which resulted in a victory in the Supreme Court on Commerce Clause grounds. Parks was not the first African American to refuse to give up her seat to a white person. That is, it was not a matter of protest on any level when she sat down; the protest was in her refusal to give up a seat in the "colored" section. With the "white" section full, a white man wanted her to give up her seat.

Many accounts fail to clarify: she was sitting in the "colored" section of the bus. Also, some accounts downplay her prior involvement with the NAACP and the Highlander Folk School in an attempt to portray her as an average, middle-aged woman and not a political activist. Standard accounts of Parks' act of civil disobedience in 1955 refer to her simply as a "tired seamstress." Parks stated in her autobiography, My Life, that it was not true that she was physically tired but was "tired of giving in.".

In helping in this boycott, Rosa Parks helped make her fellow Americans aware of the history of the civil rights struggle. This event helped spark many other protests against segregation.

Dozens of public buses stood idle for months until the law legalizing segregation in public buses was lifted. The entire black community boycotted public buses for 381 days. What ensued next was the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Parks' arrest.

The very next night, 50 leaders of the African-American community, headed by a relatively unknown minister (Martin Luther King, Jr.) gathered to discuss the proper actions to be taken after Mrs. She was arrested, tried, and convicted for disorderly conduct and for violating a local ordinance. Rosa was tired of being treated as a second-class citizen and stood firmly. On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Parks refused to obey a public bus driver's orders to move to the back of the bus to make extra seats for whites.

Just six months before her arrest, she had attended the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers' rights and racial equality. In the early 1950s, Parks became active in the American Civil Rights Movement and worked as a secretary for the Montgomery, Alabama branch of the NAACP.
