Parks, My Story

Who Rosa Parks was

Parks had been secretary of the Montgomery NAACP chapter for twelve years before December 1955, investigating sexual assaults on Black women including the Recy Taylor case, and had attended a training workshop at the Highlander Folk School that summer. When she refused to give up her seat she was arrested, fined, and became the test case the local movement had been waiting for. The boycott lasted more than a year. She and her husband lost their jobs and received death threats, and moved to Detroit in 1957, where she worked for Congressman John Conyers for over twenty years. She kept organising on housing, prisons and Black political power until her final years.
