Dearborn, MI, United States
Rosa Parks' December 1, 1955 refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus led to such successful public action that many consider her act to be the spark that ignited the Civil Rights movement. This limited-edition bronze medal replicates the Congressional Gold Medal that was awarded to Rosa Parks in 1999.
