The incident that propelled the American Civil Rights struggle into the limelight was brought about by a woman who refused to give up her seat to a white woman after a hard day at work. Rosa Parks (played by Angela Bassett from WHAT`S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT) unwittedly became a national focus for a growing movement, and she bravely faced down an angry city, a racist population and a set of unjust laws to bring about justice. Also starring Cicely Tyson and Peter Francis James and directed by Julie Dash (DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST).
