- Reading
- Read alongside the historical images and quotations, pausing to ask whose viewpoint each item represents.
- Themes
- How history is remembered: The book addresses the arrest of Rosa Parks and presents the boycott through quotations, photographs and more than one viewpoint. Its approach may broaden a familiar account by placing the protest within a wider historical situation.
- Protest and unequal treatment: The boycott is presented as a protest against racial segregation, with boycotters standing up for their beliefs despite violence and hostile words. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The book includes racial segregation, an arrest, violence and vicious words connected with the boycott.
