Rosa Parks: My Story by Jim Haskins, Rosa Parks
3.0

Rosa Parks: My Story, co-authored by Rosa Parks and Jim Haskins, captivated me as a historical memoir enthusiast. Immersing myself in the life of this Civil Rights Movement icon was truly eye-opening, profoundly impacting African Americans' lives. Parks' candid narrative, recounting her brave bus seat resistance, inspired with undeniable strength.

While the book provided a valuable perspective, I longed for a more cohesive narrative, hindering my personal connection. Further exploration of Parks' life, emotions, and sacrifices was needed. Her courage echoes, yet deeper emotional insight would've enhanced the read. Despite this, her pivotal role in shaping history cannot be overstated. This firsthand account is a must-read, illuminating a relentless fight against injustice.
