<human>:  Who was the first person to sit in the front of the bus?
<bot>: Rosa Parks was the first person to sit in the front of the bus. She was a black woman who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her act of civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which lasted 381 days. The boycott ended after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the black plaintiffs in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka.
