Righteous troublemakers [sound recording] / by Sharpton, Al,author,narrator.(CARDINAL)394791;
Read by Al Sharpton.Sharpton shines a light on everyday people called to do extraordinary things, like Claudette Colvin, who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus months before Rosa Parks did the same, and Gwen Carr, whose private pain in losing her son Eric Garner stoked her public activism against police brutality. Sharpton also gives his personal take on more widely known individuals, revealing overlooked details, historical connections, and a perspective informed by years of working on the front line of the social justice movement. From the early days of the Civil Rights Movement to the tumultuous year following George Floyd's murder, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the wheels of justice and the individuals who have helped advance its cause. Sharpton offers timeless lessons about the enduring strength, moral courage, and resilience of the American people. This is for anyone who wants to be a change-maker or believes that truth and justice are worthwhile pursuits.

Rosa Parks / by Harbison, Melissa.(CARDINAL)794126;
"At the end of her work day on December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks took a seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This began a journey that would change America, when a weary Parks chose to defy the system of racial segregation by refusing to give up her seat, as required by law, to a white passenger. Her refusal to move to the back of the bus resulted in her arrest--and ignited a citywide bus boycott by black riders, that in turn sparked the civil rights movement and brought an end to legal segregation in the South"--Page [4] of cover.
