Free-verse stanzas and gorgeous, large-scale oils bring to life a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement that changed American history.
Like all buses in Montgomery, Alabama in the 1950s, Bus #2857 was segregated: white passengers sat in the front, and Black passengers sat in the back.
Bus #2857 was ordinary-until a woman named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. After Rosa's arrest, Bus #2857's passengers chose to walk rather than ride the buses in Montgomery for 382 days.
In this children's picture book for ages 7-10, Bus #2857 tells the remarkable story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott-from the streets it rode to its present-day home in the Henry Ford Museum.
Told with stunning free-verse and oil illustrations, this kids Black history book offers a unique perspective on a major event in the Civil Rights Movement-and celebrates the heroism of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and other freedom riders.
