Synopsis
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was not trying to start a movement. She was simply tired of the social injustice. Yet, her simple act of courage started a chain of events that forever shaped the landscape of American race relations.Now, decades after her quiet defiance inspired the modern civil rights movement, Mrs. Parks&’s own words tell of her courageous life, her passion for freedom and equality, and her strong faith. Reflections by Rosa Parks celebrates the principles and convictions that guided her through a remarkable life. It is a printed record of her legacy—her lasting message to a world still struggling to live in harmony.Including historic and beautiful pictures, this collection of Rosa Parks&’s reflections includes topics like dealing with fear, facing injustice, developing character and determination, faith in God, and her hope for the future.&“I want to be remembered as a person who stood up to injustice,&” writes Rosa Parks, &“who wanted a better world for young people.&” With Mrs. Parks&’s words of wisdom, humility, and compassion, this book will inspire people of all races to carry on her great legacy.
