    Answer:

In a famous incident, an African-American woman Rosa Parks had refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man on 1st December 1955. She was protesting the law on segregation. Her refusal was an input event that ignited the fire of protest against unjust laws in USA. It had caused the start of the Civil Rights Movement, which led to the Civil Rights Act in 1964, that prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin in the U.S.A.
