Let RetroSparX spark your memory of an iconic moment in the American civil rights struggle with The First Lady of Civil Rights! The story of Rosa Parks is as inspiring as it is legendary. Read about the woman who was thrust into the public eye when she refused to yield her bus seat to a white person. Her simple act of defiance lit the flames of courage in an entire community, and paved the way for the mechanics of segregation in the United States to be dismantled.
