In December 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, a 42-year-old black seamstress called Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus to a white passenger. Her arrest led to a 381-day boycott of the city bus system led by a young Baptist minister called Martin Luther King, and is now considered the beginning of the American civil rights movement.

This is the story of her life and times. Aware of violence and discrimination from an early age, Rosa Parks' dignity and resolve were crucial to the success of the bus boycott. Quiet, graceful and a devout churchgoer, she was also a civil rights activist alongside her daytime job and she did not rule out the righteous use of force. Based on first-hand interviews and research, this is an enthralling book about a remarkable woman. It is also a vivid re-creation of mid-century America and the great years of the civil rights movement.
