Decades have passed since that fateful day that Rosa Parks refused to give up on the bus, and yet the chain of events that she set in motion changed the world forever. This documentary contains an overview of the events that took place in Montgomery, Alabama: Mrs. Parks' arrest, the bus boycott and the segregation laws that were finally overturned. It also tells the story of the Rosa Parks that few people know -- the former seamstress whose life continues to be committed to social justice for all people.
