Notes
General Note
SAMPLE TEXT: Can you imagine a world where white children could ride a school bus every morning, but black children had to walk? Can you imagine a world where black people couldn't drink from the same water fountains as white people or sit with them on a city bus? This world was real and it happened in the United States. Some white people felt they should be treated better than black people. Segregation laws were used to give more rights and a better life to white people. Rosa Parks helped change these unfair laws by thinking and acting. She stood up for herself and others her whole life. Rosa Parks was born as Rosa Louise McCauley on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. She lived on a farm with her parents and grandparents. She was a small, quiet girl.
Description
"Find out about the life of Rosa Parks and how her actions in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955 helped end racial segregation in America. This book follows the same standards as other National Geographic Readers with the same careful text, brilliant photographs, and fun approach that kids love. The life story of Rosa Parks has enduring lessons to teach us and this biography should appeal to kids, parents, and teachers"--,Provided by publisher.
