"Rosa" by Nikki Giovanni tells the poignant story of Rosa Parks and her courageous act of defiance that sparked the Civil Rights Movement. Through vivid imagery and lyrical prose, Giovanni captures the spirit of Parks as she stands up against racial segregation by refusing to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The book celebrates her bravery and the ripple effect of her actions that inspired countless others to join the fight for justice and equality. It emphasizes the importance of individual courage in the face of injustice and serves as a powerful reminder of resilience and activism. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
