ROSA PARKS GN(W) Pesce, Mariapaola (A) Mancini, Matteo (C) Yslaire, CarriereNBMStockID: 68594 SKU: DEC221538Montgomery- Alabama- December 1- 1955: at the end of the working day- 42-year-old Rosa Parks- a black leather dressmaker- takes bus 2857- heading home. She sits in a center row- but when a white passenger gets on after a few stops- the driver asks her to get up to give him her seat- as required by the rules. Rosa knows them well: the blacks sit in the back- the whites in front- while the center seats are mixed and can only be used if all the others are occupied- but the whites retain priority. 'No-' Rosa replies- she doesn't intend to get up. That simple refusal turns her into a heroine of black rights- engaged in the fight against segregation that oppresses Alabama and other southern states- becoming the propellant of the historic bus boycott in Montgomery led by Martin Luther King. This is her story shown in a context of why it is still so resonant today.This is a PRESALE. Release date stated in title. Books will ship after release date.
