Description

Dispels the widely believed myth that Rosa Parks was simply a poor, uneducated seamstress who acted on impulse and emotion rather than with intelligence and moral conviction. This retelling underscores the role of the wider African American community, and the planning and forethought critical to the civil rights -- and all social -- movements. Here, Kohl has expanded and updated his groundbreaking discussion and added a number of complementary pieces. Includes an original essay on civil rights activists Septima Clark, Virginia Durr, and Rosa Parks; an extensive teacher’s resource guide; and an explanation on how to evaluate textbooks written for young people about this period.
