Movie Reviews of The Rosa Parks Story

Movie Review: Rosa Parks
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a fifth grade teacher, and we use this video while studying the civil rights movement. I have found that it is a wonderful way to allow the children to see, first hand, what the movement was all about. The movie allows students to get a real sense of the fear people had to overcome in order to make a change in our society. This movie is a great supplemental teaching tool!

Summary of The Rosa Parks Story

Rosa McCauley Parks was raised in the Deep South at a time when it seemed that only white people were created equal. But even at an early age she refused to believe that she was inferior to anyone.Following her humiliation at being denied voter registration Rosa goes to work as a secretary for the NAACP. Years later in 1955 she creates the spark that ignites the modern Civil Rights Movement. After a long day's work a tired Rosa refuses to comply with a bus driver who insists she surrender her seat to a White woman. The resulting uproar in the South throws Rosa and her family into the Ku Klux Klan's ring of hatred but also into the NAACP's limelight.This compelling true story demonstrates the power of a single act of defiance can have over an ancient tradition of injustice.System Requirements:Starring: Angela Bassett Peter Francis James and Cicely Tyson. Directed By: Julie Dash. Running Time: 94 Min. Color. This film is presented in "Widescreen" format.
