Who was Rosa Parks? / by Yona Zeldis McDonough ; illustrated by Stephen Marchesi.
In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. This seemingly small act triggered civil rights protests across America and earned Rosa Parks the title "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement."
