The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks

This striking biography delves into the six-decade-long activism of Rosa Parks, challenging the commonly-held notion of her as a quiet seamstress and accidental actor of the civil rights movement. Through archival images and personal papers, readers gain insight into her participation in the movement, which aimed to expose and eradicate the American racial-caste system in various aspects of daily life. Brandy Colbert brings the comprehensive narrative to life for young adult readers, inspiring them to question dominant narratives and search for overlooked histories.
