Montgomery is where, in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a public bus, an act that helped change history in the U.S. Montgomery was also the site of several other events related to the civil rights movement and there are many sites related to the movement, including Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where Martin Luther King Jr. was a pastor from 1954 to 1960, the Civil Rights Memorial, and the Rosa Parks Museum.
