It tells the story of civil rights heroine Rosa Parks, whose refusal to obey a Montgomery, Alabama segregation law prompts the first major Civil Rights demonstration in the country. As a child, Rosa is educated in a private school run by the Religious Society of Friends, where she is encouraged to overcome the limitations of a segregation based environment with other African Americans in her home state of Alabama. In her late teens she marries barber Raymond Parks, an advocate of equal rights for all. She eventually joins the local branch of the NAACP, although her husband believes that the organization is ineffective in its ongoing battle against legalized racism. [more]
