"Rosa Parks" by Melissa Harbison tells the inspiring story of Rosa Parks, a pivotal figure in the American civil rights movement. The narrative highlights her courageous act of defiance when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 1, 1955. This act of bravery sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a significant event that mobilized the African American community in the fight against segregation and discrimination. Through her actions, Parks became an enduring symbol of resistance and a catalyst for change, ultimately contributing to the ongoing struggle for civil rights and social justice in America.
