<DIV>One of the most important moments in African American history comes alive in this account of Rosa Parks' legendary stand against racial segregation in 1955. Presented with eye-catching illustrations and written in enjoyable, metered rhyme, the&nbsp;story tells&nbsp;how Parks'&nbsp;refusal to&nbsp;give up her seat on a Montgomery&nbsp;bus led to the successful mass boycott of the transit system, when roughly 40,000 commuters avoided riding the bus for 382 days. Parks&nbsp;ultimately influenced the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement and directly opened the doors for Martin Luther King Jr. and other luminary activists.</DIV>
