Rosa Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This is a wonderful picture book! Along with the great illustrations it has a great story. It goes through the story of Rosa Parks. It doesn't tell you about her whole life but takes you through what she went through the day she decided not to give up her seat for a white man. Very inspirational, and personally showed me that we need to be greatful for this amazing woman and that things are not the way they were because of her! "

" This book was about a woman in Montgomery, Alabama who got on a normal bus on a normal day. Then, she made it unnormal by refusing to give up her seat to a white person.
