About this ebook
Protesting with Rosa Parks details the history of the intersections between Black activism and travel over a span of one hundred and ninety years. John K. Bollard recounts the experiences of more than ninety-five civil rights leaders and private citizens who protested against segregation on stagecoaches, trains, streetcars, steamboats, buses, planes, cars, and even elevators--people like David Ruggles, John Lewis, Sandra Bland, and Tyre Nichols. While recognizing the historical significance of Rosa Parks, this book reveals her refusal to move as part of a long tradition of protest that strives to guarantee everyone the right to ride on our collective journey towards equality.
