This book starts by introducing two black women who tried to resist segregation on busses, but didn't make that big of a difference. Then, it leads up to people like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. It provides details on the boycott, like how it started, how things were arranged, and etc. It's pretty good for a nonfiction book. Also, there are cool black-and-white photos from that time period.
4 out of 5.
