The book shows in depth her battle against the injustice that the Jim Crow laws of the South during the civil rights era brought to her doorstep. Neither her arrest, her trial, nor her later widespread exaltation are the base of this book. The Montgomery Bus Boycott that supervened her arrest is the center of the story. The first few chapters gave the background on Mrs. Rosa Parks and her activism. From the personal story of her early years, the wider context of the civil rights movement before her arrest, and the story of her historic ride on the bus itself.
An example of archaeological evidence, the depiction shows Hatshepsut leading a procession to the temple of Amun. It also includes accompanying inscriptions of primary written evidence, as these details were recorded at the time the events occurred. An overall view of Hatshepsut’s successful foreign policy can be found in a website link (http://www.helium.com/items/717975-hatsepshut-one-of-egyptian-historys-greatest-mysteries?page=2) containing secondary written evidence. Compiled on 26 November 2007, it states that “her successful foreign policy is testified by Thutmose III's record that he received 22.3 kilograms of gold from Nubia in the first year of his reign.

Blake's order that she give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger after the white section was filled. Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation. Some others had taken similar steps in the twentieth century, including Irene Morgan in 1946, Sarah Louise Keys in 1955, and the members of the Browder v.

NAACP organizers believed that Parks was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws though eventually her case became bogged down in the state courts.
