Beyond FORTITUDE: Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

Scholastic offers an overview aimed at 7th-grade readers coupled with an interview of Rosa Parks. For younger readers, consider A Picture Book of Rosa Parks by David Adler. It’s common for the story of Rosa Parks to begin and end on a bus. The entire life she lived is a testament to the fact that single acts of courage—often carried out with simple grace—can bring about great change.
