It examines the entire scope of Rosa Parks's life, from her birth in 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama to her 1943 enrollment in the Montgomery NAACP to the dramatic events of the 1960s, and her continuing work up to her death in 2005. Each chapter provides an exploration of a period in Parks's life, portraying the people, places, and events that shaped and were shaped by her. Readers will see in Parks, not an inadvertent tripwire of history, but a woman whose lifelong struggle against racism led her inexorably to a moment where she took a courageous stand by sitting down and not moving. 600 10 $a Parks, Rosa, $d 1913-2005. 650 0 $a African American women civil rights workers $z Montgomery $z Montgomery $v Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z Montgomery $z Montgomery $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Montgomery $z Montgomery $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Segregation in transportation $z Montgomery $z Montgomery $x History $y 20th century. 651 00 $a Montgomery (Ala.) $x Race relations. 651 00 $a Montgomery (Ala.) $x Biography. $v Biography. 830 0 $a Greenwood biographies 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161103032004.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B7B7C8A26A8C11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
