🌟🚍 Placards on #RideOn Buses Honor #RosaParks🚍 🌟
Throughout December, MCDOT will commemorate Rosa Parks legacy by placing special bus cards across the entire #RideOnMCT bus🚍 fleet, consisting of nearly 400 buses.
🚍 Details▶️ https://www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcgportalapps/Press_Detail.aspx?Item_ID=47952&Dept=50 #montgomerycountymd #transportation #transit #maryland #

Rosa Parks was an American hero who refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus on Dec. 1, 1955. Her actions inspired the local Black community to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott, led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The boycott kicked off on Dec. 1, lasted more than a year, and ended only when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional. The year of the boycott was filled with hardship for the Black community, many of whom were dependent on buses for transportation. Parks lost her job and experienced harassment but became a nationally recognized representation of dignity and strength in the fight to end racial segregation
