Rosa Parks was a civil rights activist who refused to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott; its success launched nationwide efforts to end racial segregation of public facilities. Come and hear her extraordinary stories, as told by Chautauqua scholar and professional storyteller, Becky Stone. On this special night, you'll have an opportunity to ask questions of both Rosa Parks and Becky Stone.
This event is offered in conjunction with Colorado Humanities and the Erie Community Center.
The event will take place at the Erie Community Center - Lloyd Room, 450 Powers Street, Erie.
