This series of three CDs begins in 1954 when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on an Alabama bus, a simple, yet courageous act that ushered in the modern-day civil rights movement. But, as these historic voices reveal, the actions of Rosa Parks also sparked a debate over which strategy African Americans should use to gain equality and human rights: integration, separation or revolution? This box set serves as a history lesson for the young and a reminder to those who lived through those times that the issue of African American political power is complex and the field of thought on the subject is diverse.
