The mayor of Baton Rouge and several fellow Civil Rights pioneers reflected on her impact earlier this week.
On June 15, 1953; White was 23 years old and returning home from her job as a housekeeper. According to the statement, White walked miles to and from the bus stop each day and, after spending all day on her feet, she decided to take the bus’ only open seat, which happened to be reserved for white passengers. When the bus driver ordered her to move, she refused and another Black woman came and sat next to her in solidarity.
