Civil rights icon Rosa Parks dies at 92

Parks is fingerprinted in 1956, two months after refusing to give up her seat on a bus.
Rosa Parks, who helped trigger the civil rights movement in the 1950s, died Monday, her longtime friends told CNN. She was 92. Parks inspired the movement when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama, in December 1955.
