- Learn about the rebellious life of Mrs. Rosa Parks and see how her brave stance earned her the title, mother of the civil rights movement.
In this Rosa Parks biography, we retrace her historic bus ride; walk you through the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Alabama; and explain how city leaders, including Martin Luther King, fought the racist segregation laws during the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
We also trace the many factors that led to Rosa’s defiant stance - from the social abuse of Black Americans to the lynching of Emmett Till. This is crash course Black American History is the definitive Rosa Parks story.
Our documentary is made for everyone - history buffs, young students, teachers, curious adults - and can be consumed at any time - from Black History Month to Martin Luther King Jr. Day and any other time in between.

Hey! Got to you from Vlogging Through History. I just binged your playlist. Please keep making these! You certainly have an eye for facts and the ability to weave this into a story. :)
Thank you so incredibly much! It’s truly wonderful to have VTH’s amazing community watching and supporting our content! We will absolutely continue to make more videos! :)
Theres so much i didnt know about rosa parks. Good documentary!!
Thank you! We agree. There’s so much more to Rosa Parks than what we learned in school.
Rosa Parks is more badass than what history books say. they should teach this in school. show these documentaries to kids
Thank you! How kind of you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
My school didn't teach this thoroughly, either. I would've loved to learn it as a kid.
@@RoamingHistory the best thing is that xenomorphs exist
Bet you believe the earth is flat, and the moon is made of green cheese, you do if you believe this crap.
"You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right." - Rosa Parks
One of my favorite quotes ever!
This is an outstanding documentary series, I’m glad Chris was able to bring this channel to my attention, and I look forward to the continuation of this series, thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!! We are so grateful to you and VTH for highlighting our work. Can’t wait to share more content!
Love the content. I was sent here by Vlogging Through History. Subscribed. PLEASE continue the high quality content! This is better than some documentaries I've seen.
Thank you for the kind words and for the support! We feel so honored that VTH and his community are here watching our content. We will definitely make more! :)
Very well put together documentary. 👏🏽

“The Boondocks” really had a uniquely satirical take on historical events.
I found your channel through vlogging through history. Very interesting and thorough videos. I wish you lots of success. Thank you.
You are too kind. Thank you so much! It’s a huge honor that VTH and his community are watching our content!
These videos are all SO well done! What I love about your channel so far is that you all are covering historical topics that other TH-cam history channels largely haven't. (Nothing against WWII or the Civil War but it's really nice to learn more about other topics that were in many ways just as influential)
And speaking of learning more. Wow! I already knew Parks wasn't the "frail old lady with tired feet" many of us were taught in schools, but I never knew that Black and other non-white bus riders were forced to pay their fare, GET OFF THE BUS, and re-board in the back. Nor did I know that there was a section of the bus where races could both sit so Parks wasn't even breaking any (racist) law. Facts like this are so crazy important because it really emphasizes how truly terrible non-white people were thought of and treated.
We've done a terrible job skimming over these facts and stories in the teaching of history. THANK YOU for bringing them more to the forefront. I hope you continue with this series even after upcoming the Little Rock Nine episode and I hope your channel explodes with subscribers so you can reach so many others.
Thank you so much! Yeah, our plan to is to do 13 episodes for this series, covering all the main events of the civil rights movement. It brings us great joy to know that people are getting something out of these mini documentaries. Thank you so, so much for watching!
I've come here by way of Vlogging Through History. I've watched all your videos back to back and I hope you keep them coming. Well done!
Thank you so, so much for your support! We love having members of the VTH community here! You guys are the best!
History class didn’t teach me enough. Thanks for this!!
Thank you for watching!
This is an amazing video. Being able to see the location, and hear the quotes from the people of the time recenter the history. I learned about this in school, but reading a text book is way different experience, and you included details, I've never heard before.
We are so glad you enjoyed this video and got something out of it! Cannot thank you enough for your support!!
I can't wait for the next chapter!!
Thank you! We can’t wait to share it in the next few weeks!!
Thank you for bringing pieces of history to life. It is amazing and scary, when you discover how much of our history is unknown to “well” educated people.
Thank you so much for watching! We agree. That’s why we decided to start this series.
Real Beacon within the black community RIP
We couldn’t agree more!
thanks for sharing this story.. for centuries the so call "black community" have truly suffered I pray one day racisms ends..we all equal..the difference is the harm a person do.. but black people have always suffered more than any other..an it's a question of why??
We agree. That’s why we decided to start this series. Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
They suffered for so long because of people’s hubris and ignorance. Such a horrifying combination.
So many seminal events in the continuing struggle for African-American civil rights can be covered in such detail. I'd like to see the Selma Marches covered. It's very interesting to me these events WERE NOT spontaneous as is often thought but were the result of meticulous planning, favorable circumstances and God's Will. My favorite example of all of this is recounted in Taylor Branch's trilogy, Parting The Waters, Pillar Of Fire and At Canaan's Edge.
We loved that book series. It was one of our inspirations. Also, I think you’d be happy to hear that we plan to do an episode on the Selma Marches. That video will probably be released sometime year. :)
Another thing that struck me about participants in the Civil Rights movement was that most of them had training in the history of non-violent protest, i.e. Gandhi, and how to respond to the violent opposition encountered. There numerous attorneys who challenged the Constitutionality of segregation and voting prohibitions. So again, the movement and hard fought gains were not anything that happened just because Dr. King was made the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. I think this is well worth learning and remembering.
Exactly. Those are pertinent points that often get overlooked. We’ll definitely cover all that in our upcoming videos!
We needs to keep any availability on history and the truth so anybody else will know why we vote and have jobs available to go to school and be able to be able to work and be on TV so on
You're absolutely right. That's why we decided to make this documentary series. We want to make sure the great history of this era lives on so it can continue to inspire the country.
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
It’s truly heartbreaking, we agree. But thankfully, these civil rights icons were able to create meaningful change that benefited the lives of millions worldwide. Their stories are so inspirational!
Great video!
Thank you!
Damn. Rosa is even cooler than I thought! A true fighter.
Agreed. She was a real hero!
I think that's your white interpretation. Lotta facts. But also making up a different narrative, although good intentioned
@@windycity70 I’m not white buddy.
We didn’t make up a different narrative. It’s the nuanced truth which has long been hidden or mischaracterized in history books.
We’ll said!
nice
Thank you kindly!
