Who Was Rosa Parks?

"Who Was Rosa Parks?" vividly brings to life the story of Rosa Parks, whose courageous act of defiance in 1955 became a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. On a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, her refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger sparked a city-wide boycott and ignited nationwide efforts to end racial segregation. Richly illustrated with black-and-white drawings, this biography captures the essence of Parks' legacy, making it accessible and engaging for elementary-school readers. As they turn the pages, young readers will not only learn about the historical context of racial injustice but also about the power of standing up for what is right. Published on December 23, 2010, this book is a crucial tool for educators to inspire the next generation about the significance of racial justice and the impact of individual actions on collective social change.
