Rosa Lee McCauley Parks
Rosa Lee McCauley Parks, dead at the age of 92.
Parks, reportedly died around 7 p.m. Monday at St. John Hospital on Detroit's east side. Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is considered the start of the modern civil rights movement.
