Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks | Douglas G Brinkley

5 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

Fifty years after she made history by refusing to give up her seat on a bus, Rosa Parks at last gets the major biography she deserves. The eminent historian Douglas Brinkley follows this thoughtful and devout woman from her childhood in Jim Crow Alabama through her early involvement in the NAACP to her epochal moment of courage and her afterlife as a beloved (and resented) icon of the civil rights movement. Well researched and written with sympathy and keen insight, the result is a moving, revelatory portrait of an American heroine and her tumultuous times.

Rosa Parks | Douglas G Brinkley

Day 8 of #Riotgrams is Black History. I began my first real dive into black history in the 8th grade researching Rosa Parks. Learning about her and her history was what really opened my eyes to the systemic segregation and oppression that African Americans have faced and are continuing to face today in the US.
