Civil Rights: Freedom Rising
Posted on February 15th, 2015
December 1, 1955: Rosa Parks in jail after having refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus.
Courage. Conviction. Sacrifice.
This month we’re looking back and remembering
those who marched, protested, and stood tall
in the face of fierce opposition
to win civil rights for
African Americans.
African American history is the subject of this book display on the third floor of Booth Library. Prepare to be inspired.
