Just released by the Library of Congress, this great new online resource celebrating the life, civil rights achievements and legacy of Rosa Parks whose refusal to give up a seat to a white passenger sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott in the 1950s. It includes thousands of photographs, letters and manuscripts. See this key account of her arrest.
Also available from the website are timelines and essays setting the material in the context of civil rights and race relations in the USA and teaching materials on civil rights.
