This is the made-for-TV version of the 1955 event in which an African-American woman, Rosa Parks, sat in the White section of a Montgomery, Alabama bus. This started an extensive black boycott of the busses and fired up the civil rights movement, bringing Martin Luther King's work to the forefront. Jeffrey Wright's portrayal of Martin Luther King is particularly good.
