Rosa

Giovanni, N. (2005). Rosa. NY: Holt.

This book talks about how Rosa Parks represented all the black people. She was tired of having separate balconies, drinking fountains, taxis for black and white people. One day she decided to get together with other black people to defend their rights. After a year of her arrest, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation was wrong.

Evaluative Criteria:  Style

The style of Rosa by Nikki Giovanni makes the reader understand the passion the main character has towards equality. It encourages curiosity and wonder during the time of the boycott.
