Her white friend Virginia Durr, once a raging racist, had become a bitter opponent of segregation and arranged for Parks to attend non-violent activism classes at the famed Highlander Folk School. Parks herself had attempted to register to vote twice, and was told that she had failed the exam. The third time she made a copy of her answers with the intention of suing the state if she "failed" with the right answers. She passed. In 1943, Parks -- then a secretary for the NAACP -- boarded a Montgomery bus but refused to exit and re-enter through the backdoor as the law required. The driver seized her and physically threw her off the bus.
