What did Rosa parks do in the NAACP?

Rosa Parks never had an official leadership role with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) or played a direct part in policy issues or policy formulation within the organization. While she was involved in local Civil Rights activities for many years through the local Montgomery NAACP prior to the famous bus incident in 1955, her actions are remembered primarily for starting the successful Montgomery bus boycott, which is largely viewed as sparking or revitalizing the broader Civil Rights movement in the United States.
