She had not sought this moment but she was ready for it.
When the policeman bent down to ask “Auntie, are you going
to move?” all the strength of all the people through all
those many years joined in her. She said, “No.”
An inspiring account of an event that shaped American
history
Fifty years after her refusal to give up her seat on
a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus, Mrs. Rosa Parks is still
one of the most important figures in the American civil
rights movement. This picture- book tribute to Mrs. Parks
is a celebration of her courageous action and the events
that followed.
Award-winning poet, writer, and activist Nikki
Giovanni’s evocative text combines with Bryan Collier’s
striking cut-paper images to retell the story of this
historic event from a wholly unique and original
perspective.
