This Who HQ graphic novel places Rosa Parks’s refusal to surrender her bus seat within the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the wider civil rights protests it helped ignite. It introduces Parks as a civil rights leader whose act of resistance became closely associated with a pivotal campaign against segregation. Full-color illustrations and a graphic-novel format organize this historical account around the connections between one person’s decision, collective action, and the struggle for civil rights. The book also foregrounds themes of strength, persistence, and resistance in its portrait of Parks’s public legacy.
