Rosa Parks Speaks
(1904)

As the nation pauses to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks gives her first-hand account about the day that changed the world. Parks' actions to refuse to give up her seat to a white man led to the 1956 Supreme Court ruling that declared segregation illegal on public buses. In very rare interviews from the NJN archives, the Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement looks back at the events that began on a bus in the winter of 1955 and transformed a new pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama named Martin Luther King, Jr. In her own quiet and courageous words, Parks talks about the importance of democracy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and conspiracy theories surrounding her actions. Kae Thompson Payne who interviewed Parks in 1985 speaks about the civil rights pioneer and how she will be remembered on a very special edition of Another View hosted by Candace Kelley.
