Rosa Parks
Editorial
Reviews
Amazon.com
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her
seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. This simple act of
defiance spurred African American residents' 381-day boycott of the Montgomery
bus system and arguably fueled the civil rights movement itself.

Thank
you Mrs. Parks, January 8, 2001
This great autobiography by "the mother of civil rights" is written
with young people in mind, but is enlightening reading for all ages and races.
This simply told story at once holds within it the truth of our history and the
hopes of our future. Mrs. Parks was a reluctant revolutionary - often the
greatest kind - who had nothing more in mind that fateful day than sitting down
on the bus when she felt tired - not so much physically tired as tired of giving
in to the racism of her time. Her simple act of courage, to say "no,"
sent waves across this land of ours that are still being heard today. Thank you
Mrs. Parks for all you have done. I hope everyone will know your story and
continue to do the work you and so many other brave souls began for us.

Reviewer: Charlotte Mangrum from Primm Springs, Tennessee
Rosa was a person of pride and dignity and stood up for what she believed in and
she believed that blacks and whites should have the same rights and she has made
a big impression on my life and has lead me to believe that too. Rosa is a big
role model to me and I am so thankful for people like her that can stand up for
what they believe in
