how we tell the story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott
Kohl, Herbert R
2005
Evaluates the ways in which the story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 is presented in school textbooks, maintaining that most resources fail to tell the whole story about Parks and the entire civil rights movement.
Includes creating a contour map and model of your town, making a "patchwork quilt" of local history, researching the history of a place name, and preparing family trees and time lines.
