As the bus was riding continued on the route, it began to fill with white passengers. Eventually, the bus was full and the driver saw that there were a lot of white passengers were standing in the aisle. He stopped the bus and moved the sign separating the two sections back one row and asked four black passengers to give up their seats. Three complied, but Rosa refused and remained seated. The driver demanded, "Why don't you stand up?" to which Rosa replied, "I don't think I should have to stand up." The driver called the police and had her arrested. Later, Rosa recalled that her refusal wasn't because she was physically tired, but that she was tired of giving in. But she never gives up on trying to ha the equality.
Although she had became a symbol of the civil right movement. Rose suffered hardship on the months following her arrest in Montgomery. She lost her department store job and her husband was fired, after his boss heard about his wife and their legal case. After a year of no work, the couple decided to leave Montgomery and moved to Detroit, Michigan. Her life came better she started working and writing books about freedom. Rosa published Rosa Parks: My Story, an autobiography recounting her life in the segregated South. In 1995, she published Quiet Strength which includes her memoirs and focuses on the role that religious faith played throughout her life.
Rose is a hero because she accepted to lose her job, and lose everything but to keep her seat. When she refused to give up the seat, she knew she was going to get arrested, she kept her seat. though the book she wrote it help people understanding why human have to be equal. She also spends her entire focusing on saving the other black woman and men.
