Die Sendung über die Civil Rights Aktivistin Rosa Parks stammt vom New Yorker Nachrichtenmagazin Democracy Now! An ihrem 100sten Geburtstag strahlte Democracy Now! eine Spezialsendung zu Rosa Parks Leben aus. Radio Helsinki spielt die Sendung im Rahmen der 16 Tage gegen Gewalt an Frauen* und Mädchen* und wirft damit einen Blick auf die Civil Rights Bewegung in den USA und den Aktivismus von Rosa Parks.

Born on Feb. 4, 1913, today would have been Rosa Parks’ 100th birthday. On Dec. 1, 1955, Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her act of resistance led to a 13-month boycott of the Montgomery bus system that would help spark the civil rights movement. Today we spend the hour looking at Rosa Parks’ life with historian Jeanne Theoharis, author of the new book, “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks.” Often described as a tired seamstress, no troublemaker, Parks was in fact a dedicated civil rights activist involved with the movement long before and after her historic action on the Montgomery bus. “Here we have, in many ways, one of the most famous Americans of the 20th century, and yet treated just like a sort of children’s book hero,” Theoharis says. “We diminish her legacy by making it about a single day, a single act, as opposed to the rich and lifelong history of resistance that was actually who Rosa Parks was.” We also air audio of Rosa Parks in her own words. In the midst of the boycott in April of 1956, she spoke to Pacifica Radio about the action she took.
