Bookroo's summary
Rosa Parks, a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, faces a pivotal moment when she refuses to surrender her bus seat. Her quiet defiance sparks a powerful movement, challenging racial injustice and inspiring change. As the civil rights movement unfolds, her courageous stand becomes a symbol of resistance and hope. What will her legacy inspire next?
From the publisher
Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs. Rosa Parks is still one of the most important figures in the American civil rights movement. This tribute to Mrs. Parks is a celebration of her courageous action and the events that followed. Award-winning poet, writer, and activist Nikki Giovanni’s evocative text combines with Bryan Collier’s striking cut-paper images to retell the story of this historic event from a wholly unique and original perspective.
