The popular myth, the one I was literally taught in school: Rosa Parks was a seamstress exhausted from work, took a seat at the whites-only front of the bus, and was arrested because she was too tired to move.
The reality: Rosa Parks was a longtime left-wing activist with ties to the Communist Party USA. She was the secretary of the NAACP's Montgomery chapter and coordinated her sit-down with local civil rights activists, who selected her as a legal test case---despite blacks having been arrested on buses before her---because she was seen as sympathetic to whites.
Also, she didn't sit in the front of the bus. She sat in the middle section, which was racially mixed, and was not asked to move until the seats in front of her filled up some time after she boarded.
Moreover, while public transportation in Alabama was segregated by law, there was no specific law requiring blacks to give up their seats to whites. In fact, in 1902, Montgomery passed a law stating that bus passengers did not have to give up their seats unless other seats were available.
Everything the left tells you is fake and gay.

It's pretty bad when they feel they have to "pretty" up a story to make themselves look better, to get sympathetic view of the situation.
BUT, the same is happening today, the left is making all the stories sound, look different than what is real!
