This book features images of Rosa Parks’ handwriting. Her handwritten notes give insight into her quiet, thoughtful and every fighting for justice spirit. Between the images, the author gives insight into civil rights initiatives Parks was engaged in throughout her life.

The quotes the author uses in the book are powerful and capture the spirit of Mrs. Parks. One quote that stands out in the book, “I felt that I was lynched many times in mind and spirit. I grew up in a world of white power used most cruelly and cunningly to suppress poor helpless Black people.”

This engaging book will be of interest to those who are history enthusiasts, engaged in human rights and concerned with gender equality. I was gifted an advanced readers copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
