{"product_id":"rosa-parks-isbn-9780143036005","title":"Rosa Parks","description":"Fifty years after she made history by refusing to give up her seat on a bus, Rosa Parks at last gets the major biography she deserves. The eminent historian Douglas Brinkley follows this thoughtful and devout woman from her childhood in Jim Crow Alabama through her early involvement in the NAACP to her epochal moment of courage and her afterlife as a beloved (and resented) icon of the civil rights movement. Well researched and written with sympathy and keen insight, the result is a moving, revelatory portrait of an American heroine and her tumultuous times.Prologue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Up from the Pine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Coming of Age in Montgomery\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: A Stirring Passion for Equality\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Laying a Foundations\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Preparation\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: The Bus Boycott\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Strength through Serenity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: \"We Make the Road by Walking It\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Steadfast and Unmovable\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Detroit Days\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Months of Bloody Sundays\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Onward\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliographical Notes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[A] precise history of the woman and the incident that would crown her the mother of the civil rights movement.\" \u003cb\u003e—USA Today\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A timely update of the historical record, told as an inspiring and unabashedly dramatic story of an American heroine.\" \u003cb\u003e—The Seattle Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDouglas Brinkley is Distinguished Professor of History and director of the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the University of New Orleans.
