Meet Bea Black, a young lady from Montgomery, Alabama. Listen as she describes the tumultuous events of Montgomery in 1955 when another young lady, by the name of Rosa Parks, decides to take a silent stand against discrimination and unfairness by refusing to rise from her seat.

This performance is presented by We’ve Known Rivers, a group of dynamic storytellers who commemorate the African-American experience in American history through engaging first-person presentations.
