Publisher Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.
Rosa Parks: Freedom Rider
Preview: Hear it

She just wouldnt get upand with that simple, courageous act Rosa Parks struck a blow against injustice. Parks showed what one person, without guns or violence, could do to change the course of history forever. Nelson Mandela claimed she is who inspired us...to be fearless when facing our oppressors. As a volunteer secretary for the NAACP, Parks chronicled racial injustices and fought for desegregation. Then, on December 1, 1955, she made a stand on a Montgomery, Alabama bus she refused to relinquish her seat for a white man. Her arrest mobilized the black community for a citywide bus boycott that led to a landmark Supreme Court decision. Awardwinning author Ruth Ashby beautifully conveys Parks dignity and determination.
