This page is home to several content strategies using a nonfiction passage on famous American hero, Rosa Parks. The passage was taken from //Tales of Famous Heroes// by Peter and Connie Roop. I chose this passage because I feel it is extremely important for students to know the history of the Civil Rights Movement and Rosa Parks' role in integrating America. This text summarizes her life, her contributions to American history and the Civil Rights Movement, and explains how her one choice changed history forever.

Roop, P. & Roop, C. (2010). //Tales of Famous Heroes.// New York. Scholastic. 44-49.
