Join us Sunday, December 1, on the 69th anniversary of Rosa Parks’ bus arrest, as we honor her legacy with an afternoon of curated programming alongside Dr. Jeanne Theoharis, author of β€œThe Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks,” and Dorothy Dewberry Aldridge, native-Detroit civil and human rights advocate who fought beside Mrs. Parks.
πŸ“½οΈ The event will begin with a free screening of the adapted documentary of Dr. Theoharis' political biography of Parks. Premiering at Tribeca Film Festival in 2022, The Rebellious life of Mrs. Rosa Parks is a comprehensive telling of the icon's lifelong dedication to activism. The film chronicles Rosa Parks' historic role in the Montgomery bus boycott, her work in politics alongside Congressman John Conyers in Detroit, and the many causes along the way β€” such as voting rights and reparations β€” that she fearlessly championed until her death in 2005.
πŸ’¬ Following the screening, Amber N. Mitchell, Curator of Black History at the Henry Ford, will moderate a panel discussion and Q&A featuring Dr. Jeanne Theoharis and Dorothy Aldridge to further contextualize the growing freedom struggle in Detroit, as well as Mrs. Parks' next 40 years of fighting racism in the North following her forced move from the South.
πŸ“• The afternoon will end with a special book signing reception where Dr. Theoharis will sign special 10th-anniversary editions of her book The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks for purchase. This event marks the first time this edition will be available to the public.
The event is free to the public, but registration is required. Learn more and RSVP at www.thehenryford.org/current-events/calendar/standing-for-justice-rosa-parks-detroit/
