Rosa Parks: in her own words
(Book)
Copies
Description
"For years, Rosa Parks's personal papers were unavailable to the public. In this compelling book from the Library of Congress, where the Parks Collection is housed, the civil rights icon is revealed for the first time in print through her private manuscripts and handwritten notes. Rosa Parks: In Her Own Words illumines her inner thoughts, her ongoing struggles, and how she came to be the person who stood up by sitting down. At the height of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, as Parks was both pilloried and celebrated, she found a catharsis in her writing. Her precise descriptions of her arrest, the segregated South, and her recollections of childhood resistance to white supremacy document a lifetime of battling inequality. Parks expressed her thoughts on paper using whatever was available--meeting agendas, event programs, drugstore bags. The book features more than eighty color and black-and-white images from the Parks collection, many appearing in print for the first time, along with ephemera from the long life of a private person in the public eye." --Book flap.
