Discrimination In 'My Story' By Rosa Parks
“My Story” a non fictional novel written by “the civil rights activist” Rosa Parks herself along with Jim Haskins, shares Rosa’s personal journey battling through discrimination, racism and tells of her vital role in the struggle for equality for all Americans.
