62] – On Sat., Jan. 11
from 9:15 to 11:15 AM, check out the Rosa Parks Exhibition & Library of Congress
Guided Tour, hosted by the Washington DC History & Culture at the US
Library of Congress, 101 Independence Ave. SE, Suite LM634, WDC 20003. This is a two-part educational and
entertaining program. Start with a guided tour of the new exhibit “Rosa Parks:
In her Own Words” to learn about the “mother of the civil rights movement” and
her monumental impact on our nation’s history. Then take an architectural and
historical tour of the Library of Congress, “one of the most beautiful
buildings in Washington, DC.”
Rosa Parks (1913–2005) is best known for her
refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a crowded bus in Montgomery,
Alabama, on December 1, 1955. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a
pivotal event in the civil rights movement that ultimately led to the
dismantling of Jim Crow segregation. Rosa Parks became an icon of the movement,
celebrated for this single courageous act of civil disobedience, but she is
often characterized by misconceptions. Contrary to popular belief, Parks was
not a demure seamstress who chose not to stand because she was physically
tired. Her calm demeanor hid a militant spirit forged over decades.
The
real Rosa Parks was a seasoned activist who organized to free the Scottsboro
Boys in the 1930s and helped operate the offices of the NAACP and Brotherhood
of Sleeping Car Porters in Montgomery during the 1940s and 1950s. She was
punished for the bus incident with death threats, unemployment, and dire
poverty, yet was sustained through years of hardship by her strong Christian
faith. Parks remained committed to the struggle for social justice and human
rights until her death, inspiring millions of people around the world.
Rosa
Parks: In Her Own Words showcases rarely seen materials that offer an intimate
view of Rosa Parks and documents her life and activism—creating a rich
opportunity for viewers to discover new dimensions to their understanding of
this seminal figure. The materials are drawn extensively from the Rosa Parks
Collection, a gift to the Library of Congress from the Howard G. Buffett
Foundation. Look at https://www.loc.gov/exhibitions/rosa-parks-in-her-own-words/about-this-exhibition/.
