| On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery,
Alabama, a determined activist named
Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on
a city bus. The resulting uproar brought
the Civil Rights movement to national
attention and changed our country forever.
Walk On: The Story of Rosa Parks weaves
together music and drama to tell the
story of Rosa Parks from her childhood
in rural Alabama to her famous decision
to “sit down and be counted.”The play
dispels myths about Parks and her protest
as it paints a portrait of a complex woman who had
to find reconciliation within herself in order to become an
effective civil rights leader. |
