Rosa Parks : my story / by Rosa Parks ; with Jim Haskins. New York : Puffin Books, 1999. 192 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Includes index. Originally published: New York : Dial Books, c1992. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus, sparking the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott. A year later, when the boycott finally ended, segregation on buses was ruled unconstitutional, the civil rights movement was a national cause, and Rosa Parks was out of a job. Yet there is much more to Rosa Parks's story than just one act of defiance. In straightforward, moving language, she tells of her vital role in the struggle for equality for all Americans. Her dedication is inspiring; her story is unforgettable. 20100101. Parks, Rosa, 1913-2005. African Americans Alabama Montgomery Biography.
