Rosa Parks: My Story by Rosa Parks [Paperback]

Description: Grade 4-6-- This well-known story is considerably refreshed by Parks's personal narrative, punctuated by numerous black-and-white photographs. In simple, gracious, compelling language she describes her childhood, family life, and elusive educational opportunities. She explains how her husband encouraged and supported her participation in civil rights activities, and provides with clarity the generally paltry regard for the contributions of black women by the movement's organisers. In this recounting of her life, she corrects some media-created distortions of events. Her references to so many people may overwhelm some readers at times, but this does not diminish the overall impact of a wonderful, warm autobiography.- Helen E. Williams, formerly at University of Maryland, College ParkCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
