Summary of the Program
The story of the Civil Rights era in America calls to our collective mind the circumstances of a lady who refused to get up from her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus one day after work. She was arrested and taken to jail that day, December 1, 1955, and this sparked a bus boycott that spread throughout the nation. Come and hear the true story of what happened that day when Mrs. Rosa Parks stood her ground for her rights. This one-woman interactive portrayal will dispel some of the myths behind this story and explore the many social and political conditions of what happened during the 1960s in America.
