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."" This biography has black-and-white illustrations throughout.

I think Rosa was very brave and this really helped the African Americans to gain some freedom

The book is about an African-American woman who refused to give up her seat for a white person. her courage helped change the world. I have learnt to stand up for what is right and never give up.
