Exploring Civil Rights: The Movement 1955
Author: Nel Yomtov
Format: Paperback
The year 1955 saw a range of events that brought attention to the civil rights movement. In August, Emmett Till, a Black teenager, was brutally murdered in Mississippi.
In December, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man while riding on a bus in Alabama. Parks' brave action resulted in the year-long Montgomery bus boycott, an event that brought transformational change to the city.
These events and more sparked a movement that in the following years would bring Black youth to the forefront of much needed reform in the nation.
