"Faith Ringgold has already won my heart as an artist, as a woman,
as an African American, and now with her entry into the world of
autobiography (where I dwell), she has taken my heart again. She
writes so beautifully."--Maya Angelou
"Faith Ringgold has created a rich and highly informative work not
only of her own life as an American in general but as an African
American in particular. These memoirs are a part of American
history--of what it means to be an artist, a writer, and a
philosopher in our society."--Jacob Lawrence
"In words that are as direct, honest, full of color and life as
her paintings, Ringgold gives each reader the greatest gift of
all--courage to be one's own unique and universal self."--Gloria
Steinem
"The story of Ringgold's triumph--achieved through sheer
determination, savvy, and self-conviction--is both accessible and
inspiring."--Lowery Stokes Sims, executive director, the Studio
Museum in Harlem
"Faith Ringgold's exuberant and original art has made her one of
America's more important artists and a feminist heroine. Now her
wonderfully honest memoirs will resonate with all political and
creative women who are still fighting the battles Ringgold has
won."--Lucy Lippard, author of "The Pink Glass Swan: Selected
Essays on Feminist Art"
"Bridging is the major motif of Ringgold's life . . . . She is a
bridge between the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights era. She
is a bridge between her mother's applied art of fashion design and
her own fine art of painting and story quilts. She is a bridge
between the black power movement and the women's movement. And she
is a bridge between the abstract art that dominated the '60s and
the issue-orientedart that connected with viewers' hearts--and
lives."--Carrie Rickey, "Philadelphia Inquirer"

If a bus could talk, it would tell the story of a young African-American girl named Rosa who had to walk miles to her one-room schoolhouse in Alabama while white children rode to their school in a bus. It would tell how the adult Rosa rode to and from work on a segregated city bus and couldn't sit in the same row as a white person. It would tell of the fateful day when Rosa refused to give up her seat to a white man and how that act of courage inspired others around the world to stand up for freedom. In this book a bus does talk, and on her way to school a girl named Marcie learns why Rosa Parks is the mother of the Civil Rights movement. At the end of Marcie's magical ride, she meets Rosa Parks herself at a birthday party with several distinguished guests. Wait until she tells her class about this!
