The definitive political biography of Rosa Parks examines
her six decades of activism, challenging perceptions of her
as an accidental actor in the civil rights movement Presenting a corrective to the popular notion of Rosa Parks
as the quiet seamstress who, with a single act, birthed the
modern civil rights movement, Theoharis provides a revealing
window into Parks’s politics and years of activism. She
shows readers how this civil rights movement radical
sought—for more than a half a century—to expose and
eradicate the American racial-caste system in jobs, schools,
public services, and criminal justice.
