Rosa Parks and everyday resistance

Rosa Parks's refusal to give up her bus seat was framed as a single act of defiance, but it was part of a long-planned campaign—showing how everyday resistance often requires deliberate strategy, community coordination, and people willing to face consequences. Her example reveals that the most powerful challenge to injustice can look like a small, personal choice, while actually being an organized confrontation with power.
