Learn more about the events that led others to identify
Rosa Parks as an iconic figure in the American Civil Right movment. This is a re-issue of Taylor-Butler’s 2015
text of the same title. Still, the story
of Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat on a bus so a white man could sit,
continues to rivet the attention of students of history, just as Ms. Parks’
actions influenced events through the present day. Almost overnight, Rosa Parks became the
symbol of the nascent Civil Rights movement.
Readers will discover how Parks continued to advocate for civil rights
after her arrest, as well as the racism and segregation that continue to
concern many people even today. A lot of
information, and many historical photographs, are packed into this slender
volume. A True Book (Sch/Childrens) Welliver(3), Hilary
