Until recently, Rosa Parks's personal papers were unavailable to
the public. In this compelling new book from the Library of
Congress, where the Parks Collection is housed, the civil rights
icon is revealed for the first time in print through her private
manuscripts and handwritten notes. Rosa Parks: In Her Own Words
illumines her inner thoughts, her ongoing struggles, and how she
came to be the person who stood up by sitting down. At the height
of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, as Parks was both pilloried and
celebrated, she found a catharsis in her writing. Her precise
descriptions of her arrest, the segregated South, and her
recollections of childhood resistance to white supremacy document a
lifetime of battling inequality. Parks expressed her thoughts on
paper using whatever was available meeting agendas, event programs,
drugstore bags. The book features one hundred color and
black-and-white photographs from the Parks collection, many
appearing in print for the first time, along with ephemera from the
long life of a private person in the public eye.
