Among Alabama's cities, Montgomery stands out for its central place in the United States civil rights movement. The state capital lies on the Alabama River, in the broad lowland landscape of central Alabama. Rosa Parks was arrested here in 1955 after refusing to surrender her seat on a city bus, an event that helped trigger the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. served as pastor, and the Alabama State Capitol, the destination of the 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery march, remain defining addresses.
