The Bus Ride
What's The Bus Ride About
Sarah and her mother ride the bus each morning, but the girl wonders why they have to sit in the back, apart from the white people. Her curiosity inspires her to make that short but significant journey to the first few seats. This seemingly innocent act lands Sarah in jail for breaking the law and triggers actions that alter not only Sarah’s daily bus trip but the lives of everyone, black and white, in the community.Based on the real-life story of Rosa Parks, The Bus Ride is a fictional but timely reminder that no act of courage is too small when it comes to confronting injustice.
