Since Rosa Parks and Dr. Titan found no interest in the government, they took their case to the Martian people, providing information on the findings to Martian Mass Media (MMM) and scientists of every variety. Many, upon careful review of the facts, believed that this species of life from Terra was too intelligent for enslavement in the ore mines, let alone being used as laboratory animals. This sparked the beginning of the Interplanetary Human-Rights Movement, after the name the bipetal life form used to describe his species.

After the arrest of Rosa Parks, black people of Montgomery and sympathizers of other races organized and promoted a boycott of the city bus line that lasted 381 days. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was appointed the spokesperson for the Bus Boycott and taught nonviolence to all participants. Contingent with the protest in Montgomery, others took shape throughout the south and the country. They took form as sit-ins, eat-ins, swim-ins, and similar causes. Thousands of courageous people joined the "protest" to demand equal rights for all people.

In 1994, Rosa Parks was attacked in her home by a man wanting money from her. Parks, with the quiet faith and determination she showed the world in 1955, says she prays for him. According to writer Kira Albin, “Parks’ belief in God and her religious convictions are at the core of everything she does.” Parks’ book, Quiet Strength, spreads this message. In an interview, she gave these recommendations: “The advice I would give to young people is, first of all, to rid themselves of prejudice against other people and to be concerned about what they can do to help others, and, of course, to get a good education and to take advantage of the opportunities they have.”

In 1943 Rosa became a member of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP. She served as a secretary to the president of the NAACP, until 1956. IN the same year, 1943, Rosa made her first attempt to register to vote. She was unsuccessful until her third try in 1945. Also at this time Rosa took her first stand against a bus driver, when she defied a local ordinance which stated, colored people should enter a bus only from the back door.

“Everybody wanted to explain Rosa Parks and wanted to teach Rosa Parks, but Rosa Parks wasn’t very interested in that,” he said. “She wanted to them to understand the government and to understand their rights and the Constitution that people are still trying to perfect today.”
