Rosa Parks: One of Many Who Sat Down to Stand Up
March 1st, 2010
Rosa Parks is best known for her refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. Her action galvanized the growing Civil Rights Movement and led to the successful Montgomery bus boycott. But even before her defiant act and the resulting boycott, Ms. Parks was dedicated to racial justice and equality. She remained a source of inspiration and, most importantly, an activist for the remainder of her life.
In this compelling story, a dramatization by Storyteller Linda Gorham, Ms. Park’s story is illuminated to better understand the bravery of those who stood up to discrimination given the ignorance and violence of the times.
A corresponding lesson plan suitable for use in high school – adult learning environments is available free of charge by visiting RaceBridgesforSchools.com. This lesson plan will help students of all ages to become more familiar with the Rosa Parks’ story in a way that will challenge them to understand the challenges and feelings during the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. during the 1950s-1960s.
