Inhaltsangabe

<div><div><div>She just wouldn&#8217;t get up&#8212;and with that simple, courageous act Rosa Parks struck a blow against injustice. Parks showed what one person, without guns or violence, could do to change the course of history forever. Nelson Mandela claimed &#8220;she is who inspired us&#8230;to be fearless when facing our oppressors.&#8221; As a volunteer secretary for the NAACP, Parks chronicled racial injustices and fought for desegregation. Then, on December 1, 1955, she made a stand on a Montgomery, Alabama bus: she refused to relinquish her seat for a white man. Her arrest mobilized the black community for a citywide bus boycott that led to a landmark Supreme Court decision. Award-winning author Ruth Ashby beautifully conveys Park&#8217;s dignity and determination. </div></div></div>
