Quiet Strength

On December 1,1955, she refused to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was not trying to start a movement. She was simply tired of social injustice and did not think a woman should be forced to stand so that a man could sit down. Yet her simple act of courage set in motion a chain of events that change forever the landscape of American race relationships. Quiet Strength celebrates the principles and convictions that have guided her through a remarkable life.
