Reviews
Grade 7-10-Hull takes an incisive look at her subject's background, adult life, and the social climate leading up to that fateful day in December, 1955. She relates with great detail how Parks's quiet, defiant act of refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person galvanized the black community and propelled local ministers-Rev. Ralph Abernathy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.-into national prominence. The woman's participation in civil rights activities, the suffering endured by her family and community after her arrest, the legal battles arising from the boycott, and the maneuvers instituted by the white business and political leaders to stymie it are all described. However, disappointments and personal hardships stemming from Parks's stance are not discusssed. Black-and-white photographs enhance the text. This biography aptly highlights the achievements of this living legend of the civil rights movement.
