"...Even if it means Changing the World"

"... Even if it means Changing the World:" Rosa Parks, a civil rights leader whom stands up to a white officer when she was told to move to the back of the bus. She talked back and was sent to jail. Around the United States she is now known as a hero. She has lost her job at the NCAAP and now sews clothing and blankets to make money. Her husband, Mr. Parks quit his job because if his wife was not able to work there, he won't either. Rosa Parks has changed the world in my perspective. I really liked this story. The reason is because it is so true. It really speaks to you. as for me, this book is so real and descriptive it is as the words are popping right out of the page. I would compare this book to Surviving Hitler because this book gets as much as in depth into the story as Rosa Parks. This was an awesome book to read!
