Total copies: 2
Rosa Parks is best known for the day she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, sparking the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott. Yet there is much more to her story than this one act of defiance. In this straightforward, compelling autobiography, Rosa Parks talks candidly about the civil rights movement and her active role in it.Subject: A very detailed autobiography for young able readers, with the first chapter focussed on the bus protest and Parks memories of her grandparents, but then the story is told chronologically. A good book for placing the bus boycott story within Rosa Parks
