Rosa Parks

Penguin lives series

by Brinkley Douglas.

Synopsis

"Rosa Parks, an African American seamstress in 1955 Alabama, had no idea she was changing history when, work-weary, she refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus. Now she is immortalized for the defiance that sent her to jail and triggered a bus boycott that catapulted Martin Luther King, Jr., into the national spotlight. Who was she, before and after her historic act, and how did it sound the death knell for Jim Crow?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
