Rosa Parks, An American Legacy (2016)
The Grand Rapids Public Museum is proud to present a pop up exhibit about Rosa Parks and the center of Grand Rapids that bears her name. The exhibit marks the 60th anniversary of Rosa Parks’ courageous decision not to give up her seat on a bus to a white man and the ensuing Montgomery Bus Boycott, an important milestone in the Civil Right Movement. The exhibit will feature objects from the GRPM’s collections and iconic images from holdings around the country. The goals of the exhibit are to present the story of Rosa Parks’ place in the Civil Rights Movement from both a national and local perspective and to direct visitors to other resources around the museum where they can learn more.
