REFLECTIONS BY ROSA PARKS The Quiet Strength and Faith of a Woman Who Changed a Nation

Narrator Robin Miles gives voice to Rosa Parks, one of the most iconic figures of the Civil Rights movement. In particular, Parks reflects on her motivation to "stand up by sitting down" on that fateful day in 1955 when she protested the laws of "separate but equal" by refusing to move to the back of a bus for a white bus rider. Parks is more than this moment, of course; she was already engaged in the Civil Rights movement by that point. She discusses key leaders of that time, shares insights into the role of the church, and describes struggles she faced later in life, including the lasting challenge of white supremacy. Miles assumes the role completely, making this a gently powerful and inspiring listening experience. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2018]
