• Pioneering civil rights activist Rosa McCauley Parks. As a child, Rosa stands separate from her fellow African-Americans instead of being shipped off to a shabby public school, she is enrolled in a private classroom run by Quakers, who encourage the girl to transcend the severe limitations of legalized segregation in her home state of Alabama. In her late teens, Rosa marries barber Raymond Parks, a politically savvy and outspoken proponent of equal rights for all. For many years suffering in silence as the iniquities of the South’s Jim Crow laws consign her to second-class-citizen status, Rosa finally joins the local branch of the NAACP. Rosa’s personal struggle against institutionalized racism reaches its zenith on the night of December 1, 1955, when, bone-weary after a long day’s work as a seamstress at a Montgomery department store, she refuses to give up her seat on a bus to a white man — and is promptly arrested.
