The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks2014 NAACP Image Award Winner: Outstanding Literary Work – Biography / Auto Biography Presenting a corrective to the popular notion of Rosa Parks as the quiet seamstress who, with a single act, birthed the modern civil rights movement, Theoharis provides a revealing window into Parks’s politics and years of activism. She shows readers how this civil rights movement radical sought—for more than a half a century—to expose and eradicate the American racial-caste system in jobs, schools, public services, and criminal justice. |
