A diagram of the seats on the Cleveland Street bus, showing where Rosa Parks was sitting when she was asked to move to accommodate a white passenger. In this drawing, the front of the bus is at the top of the image, with the driver marked with an X inside of a box. The first ten seats on Montgomery buses were permanently reserved for white riders; Rosa was sitting in the first row that was usually open to blacks.
