Rosa

1     Giovanni, N. (2005).  Rosa.  NY:  Holt. Rosa Parks could not understand why after the United States Supreme Court rule that separate is unequal there is still a separation between the White and Black community. One day, when she was exhausted, she refused to give up her seat on a bus and was arrested. She became an important figure in the American Civil Rights movement. Giovanni depicts Rosa as a hero that was a light in the darkness. Illustrator, Bryan Collier, uses this to portray Rosa as a radiating light in his illustrations that gives hope to her people and describes her as as radiant chandelier.
