Who Was Rosa Parks?

In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. This seemingly small act triggered civil rights protests across America and earned Rosa Parks the title "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement." But Parks' story doesn't begin and end with that one moment! In this book from the popular Who Was...? biography series, young readers follow Parks from her days walking to school while a school bus took white children to theirs, to her initial days working with the NAACP and her famous act of defiance, and then learn what Parks did after the bus boycott was done. It's a fun and inspiring look at an American hero.
