Award-winning poet, educator, and activist Nikki Giovanni’s Rosa (available for checkout in the Briggs Library) celebrates the courageous refusal of Rosa Parks to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus and traces the historic events of the Civil Rights Movement that followed. Bryan Collier’s vivid cut-paper illustrations add a vibrant, colorful layer to this retelling of this historic moment in American history.
