The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks by Jeanne Theoharis
5.0
Mrs. Parks was a rebellious soul & for that she commands a high level if respect. She believed in equality for all & never gave up the fight for equal treatment under the law.
While I'm glad that Ms. Theoharis has documented what happened to Mrs. Parks after 12/1/55, it's appalling to know that she is taught as quiet, non threatening, & tired. It takes courage, strength, and faith to fight for freedom. Mrs. Parks was a fighter her entire life. It is not enough to talk loudly, one must be bold & decisive in their actions as Mrs. Parks taught us. I definitely believe this text should be mandatory reading.
