ROSA PARKS, 1913-2005

Rosa Parks, considered to be a catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement, died Monday night in Detroit. Honored by government leaders over the years, she had been designated one of the Most Important People of the Century by Time Magazine. More biographical information about her can be found at Rosa Parks.org and at Gale's Biographies. There is even a poem about her, written by Rita Dove. Other links to on-line information about her can be found at the Rosa Parks Portal.

The Elk Grove Library has several biographies about her in the Adult Department--besides those in the Children's Department. They include:
