Rosa Parks fled the American South for Detroit in the 1950s at the height of her civil rights struggle. Parks, an African-American seamstress, refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955, triggering a wave of ultimately successful protests against racial segregation. Now the house where she sought asylum has itself found refuge in a city an ocean away: Berlin.
