Rosa Parks - Quiet Revolutionary

Rosa Parks's moment in history - refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955 - is celebrated as the birth of the civil rights movement in the USA. Max Easterman offers a unique portrait of the woman whose simple act of defiance inspired Martin Luther King and civil rights activism across the world.  Tuesday at 7pm.
