...Rosa Park Day.
On this date in 1955, Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to relinquish her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus and move to the back. This was celebrated as the beginning of the end of segregation. Read all about the life of Parks, an unlikely heroine, at Rosa Parks: Pioneer of Civil Rights.
For younger readers, try "Rosa" written by Nikki Giovanni and illustrated by Bryan Collier. We have two copies available for check out.
