Grade 7-9. Rosa Parks said we can fight for our ideas by refusing to tolerate everyday injustice and tyranny. Theoharis explores the political depth of a national icon who dedicated her life to battling American inequity in The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, resurrecting an inspiring civil rights movement radical. Rosa Parks' authoritative political history covers her six decades of action, refuting preconceptions of her as an unintentional civil rights activist. |
