   1955:  Rosa  Parks  arrested, for refusing to move to back of the bus.
   "Our  mistreatment  was  just not right, and I was tired of it," Parks
   wrote  in  her  book,  "Quiet  Strength", (Zondervan Publishing House,
   Detroit  1994).  "I kept thinking about my mother and my grandparents,
   and  how  strong  they  were.  I knew there was a possibility of being
   mistreated,  but an opportunity was being given to me to do what I had
   asked  of others." Parks' story is history her arrest and trial led to
   a  381-day  Montgomery  Alabama  bus  boycott,  and, finally, a United
   States  Supreme  Court  ruling  in  November  1956 that segregation on
   transportation is contra to the American constitution.
