The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, which is based on the bestselling biography by Jeanne Theoharis and executive produced by award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien, expands the record on Rosa Parks' overlooked accomplishments and the importance of her drive and fight to overcome racial injustices and rampant inequalities. In short, what we are taught in school about Rosa Parks is a mere fraction of the full story about who she truly was.

Perhaps foremost, “Mrs. Rosa Parks” highlights the selflessness of its subject and seeks to provide a detailed portrait of a woman who, through the vagaries of history, was frequently reduced to a symbol.

Carla Hay

Culture Mix

The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks follows a conventional documentary format, but it's still a well-made biography that should be informative for people who know very little about civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
