Publisher's Note
A portrait of the African-American woman who is immortalized for refusing to surrender her bus seat to a white passenger examines who Rosa Parks was before, during, and after her historic act and how her action contributed to the end of the Jim Crow laws and helped ignite the Civil Rights movement. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"[A]n adroit melding of biography and history....We're offered fascinating glimpses into the movement that formal histories might have ignored...."
Bourdain

"Brinkley is a skilled writer who has combed the archives for information on Parks and the society in which she lived, and he succeeds in placing her life before the bus boycott in its political and social context."
London Review of Books - Eric Foner (05/10/2001)
