Synopsis
Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this volume, learn about two brave women who stood up against segregation, setting in motion the Montgomery Bus Boycott!
A Black woman who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus sparked a bus boycott and became part of one of the most iconic moments in American history. Yet, few know that Rosa Parks had actively worked toward social justice her whole life. And even fewer know that the seeds of the statewide bus boycott were first planted by a teenager named Claudette Colvin, who was arrested on similar charges months earlier. Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin inspired a nation, showing how positive change can start with a single defiant act. Their actions have become the stuff of legend, but there is so much more to their lives, their stories, and the movement they began.
My Review
This was a fantastic graphic novel that tells a very important story. The pictures were brilliant. There was a great use of colours. The novel created a wonderful sense of atmosphere and tension. The words were so powerful and helped you to understand what life in those times was like. It was extremely well written. I definitely recommend this book to all from children to adults. I am sure you will love it. Learning real-life history from graphic novels is such a wonderful experience. This book was definitely a real page turner that had me engrossed from the very start. I really feel like I understand this part of history. It is a story that will stay with me. This story is made all the more powerful from being made into a graphic novel. This is the second book I have read in the history comic series, and it won't be the last as they are so easy to follow and understand. I love the fact that children and adults can learn about history with even knowing it.
Only the highest of praise goes out to the author, illustrator, and publishers for bringing us this important part of history in such a wonderful, unforgettable way. I can't wait to read more books from this series.
