 | "Please stay off of all the buses Monday."
Those are not the most famous or inspirational words in American history. They certainly aren't as memorable as "All men are created equal" or "I have a dream." But in many ways these seven words are just as important as anything that Thomas Jefferson or Martin Luther King Jr. ever said. | | | 
These were the words spread through Montgomery, Alabama, the day after Rosa Parks was arrested, and what was her crime? She wouldn't give up her seat on a city bus when the white bus driver told her to move—just because she was black. What happened next in Montgomery would change America forever.
Like all the Don't Know Much About ® Books, Don't Know Much about ® Rosa Parks tells a true story by asking questions. Sometimes these questions don't have easy answers, but the answers reveal how Rosa Parks and many other brave people in the Civil Rights Movement fought to make life in America fairer for everyone. Her story shows how one person can make a difference in the world. And that may be the most important part of the remarkable true story of Rosa Parks.  |  |  | | |
