Echoes in Time Theatre Presents 'Memories of Miss Rosa and Her Bus Ride'
Ohio Historical Center, COLUMBUS
7 and 8 p.m.
On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks, age 42, refused to obey a bus driver's order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger. Her action was not the first of its kind. Parks' act of defiance became an important symbol of the modern Civil Rights Movement. She organized and collaborated with civil rights leaders, including boycott leader Martin Luther King, Jr., helping move him to national prominence in the Civil Rights Movement. Listen as a friend of Miss Rosa, portrayed by Annette Jefferson of Columbus, Ohio, gives you her perspective on this brave woman. Free with museum admission: $8/adults (13-59), $7/seniors (60+), $4/youths (6-12), and free to Ohio Historical Society members and children 5 and under. Parking is $4 and FREE for members.
