I love the way Democracy Now does work. Information based on Justice and truth at all cost. Love you'll!! Amy Goodman, Juan Gonzales, and the whole crew.
God bless Rosa Park and her legacy!
Black lives matter!
I’m curious what legacy? As a black American who is well read on black American history. Mrs Rosa Park played a minor role in the civil rights movement. People went to rewrite her as a revolutionary. The fact of the matter she played a small role. I am starting to see white liberals rewrite black American history discarding the true revolutionaries and they are elevating women who played a minor role. Black feminists say they weren’t allowed in the any of the decision making of the civil rights movement. It was a staged boycott. It was a brilliant chess move by the men who led the civil rights movement. Black American history has been sanitized to assuage white people feelings.
All lies.Blm are a bunch of violent, racist, greedy communist & the whole Rosa parks bus thing is made up.

Exactly Charles, I see it the same way but go deeper, I see a complete agenda. There is too much recreation of Black American History, Historical figures and Culture that is being rewritten, co-opted and twisted by white liberals using Africans as producers and actors to push narratives and they seem ecstatic to do so! We know Ms. Parks beloved as she was had a minor role. We also know Ms. Parks was not the first to stand up and not give up her seat. We know this Boycott started as the GRASSROOTS LEVEL and as it went on, the NAACP would come in. You're exactly right it was a "staged boycott!" Claudette Colvin a 15 year old would be the 1st Black woman who was the defiant one! Thank our GOD for our ancestors and elders who gave us the fighting spirit. I have a strong feeling they were preparing us for this day. My aunt told me before she died they would try to sit us back to the beginning , now I know what she meant. We come from amazing people and we cannot allow "THEIR HISTORY, "OUR HISTORY to be rewritten, water down, altered or hijacked for an agenda they would have never cosigned!
A ZZZZZZZZZZ

Amazing Woman was Rosa Parks!. Great job Democracy Now.
I am just so grateful for having discovered Democracy Now!
If anyone is interested and happens to be visiting Detroit, please stop by Woodlawn Cemetery and sit with Mother Parks. She is there along with her mother and husband. I go there on a regular basis. As you pull into the front gate, look to the left. You will see the chapel. There is a keypad lock on the door. Go to the cemetery office and they will give you the access number. Great documentary! Thank you for sharing. Benton Harbor, MI.
Thanks for info , I look at lot segments on PBS CH 13 some Black Women, Men inventors , Military , painters, singers, I I've never heard of .
Claudette Colvin did it, not Rosa Parks! This is yet another Lie!!
Thank you for doing this interview about Mrs Parks.

I guess I have to say it again if you don't indict this man that means that you are turning this country over to them every time they want something you will have to give in to me I think there is a rat out there that makes all the decisions and it has nothing to do with the Terrace they are more people that want him indicted then they are that don't want him indicted so stop the bull and indict the man

We don't need continuous Regurgitations of Black American History and Cultures in the form of remakes, copies from the eyes of people whose History this is not! I know of 11 movies and documentaries made. There are no "NEW BLACK AMERICANS" with our HISTORY & CULTURE! Let's see some African films and documentaries or is their SHAME is doing them or an AGENDA in doing ours!
@@msrubie11 Ah yes, that Mindset is totally adressed in the Systemic-Racism-Video and then the Jim-Crow-Video of "Some More News".
Also this 'Revisionist!!!"-Remark that Grifters scream as transparent new part of their new Grift.
@@msrubie11 Surely you have not the slightest problem finishing those 2?
This is very important stuff !! Thanks DN !!
This is indeed incredibly enlightening!
Thank you Mama Parks our great queen I miss you we miss you some day we'll see you again
It's About to get real, I Love it, I know where this is going, Thank you for your great work
Thank you.
Outstanding video. THANK YOU for this amazing new information!!
Rosa Parks is a hero. Love her so much!!
WOW, and thank you.
I was a little girl in the 1950s in Denver Colorado and I remember my grandma and I would go downtown and we would get on the bus and my grandma we would go straight to the back of the bus I was a child I didn't understand what was going on and back then adults didn't talk to children about I don't know what to call it important things or big things now I'm 75 years old and I get to look back on all the crazy stuff I grew up watching and it's still going on I remember my dad kept a shotgun by the front door in Denver Colorado
I'm glad to hear them acknowledge the women before Rosa Parks that refused to move but have never received much national acknowledgement for their contribution.
Mrs Rosa Parks UNmatched 💝
Right overcoming wrong and those who stand up for right do so for others not for acknowledgement of themselves.
@@randyhill3800 very true, and it's only for the sake of history that their names need to be included, not for their own need of acknowledgement. There are too many examples of people, and especially women, who played important roles in history that we never heard of before the internet. Today, we can grow our collective knowledge of the past and include role models that bring a much a far more vivid picture of history - not just in Civil Rights, but in so many areas of history that have been glossed over or entirely omitted from our educational system. That's where I'm coming from.
Love her!
Rosa Parks 1 of my favorite Civil Rights Activist... I played her in a Sunday School Play when I was a little girl in the '70s .. l guess it's part of where my strength comes from... 💜
I'm appalled that I knew so little about this amazing woman.
Rosa Parks was a Fraud!
Claudette Colvin is the one who Did it!
👏
I'd heard some of these stories from my Elders that was never written, still disappointed MLK & the church Community didn't support her & Mr Parks because their financial situation & death threats were no secret. Yes it was a Women lead movement that picked King to represent as i was told.
what woulda happened if we followed Elijah?
@@originalandrewmark Muhammad, Malcolm X or Marcus. We would farther, MUCH FARTHER, ahead in ever catagory, except crime.
One women,Mrs. Rosa park stand up for what she believe and to stop segregation among the black and white. I salute her for what she did.
I salute her for standing up against the racist Democrat party,but the bus thing was made up.. Claudette Colvin was the 15 year old girl that stood up,they didn't use her because she was pregnant by her 35 year old married pedophile boyfriend.
@@TakeNoShitgang444 Read Claudette's book. There was another woman and a man that tried to stop segregation on the bus.
Excellent episode! Excellent!
This film will help undo the whitewashing of Rosa Parks character. She was a troublemaker that got into GOOD trouble. RIP, RP. Legend.
Like Rep. John Lewis said " Make Good Trouble"
White washing??? She would be absolutely ashamed that she fought so hard for what blacks killing blacks in the projects???! voting democrat when they are the true racist planned Parenthood was created to kill black babies population control republicans are against planned Parenthood. While dumb half naked female rappers make songs about supporting such a awful thing blacks have single handedly destroyed everything king and parks did not whites
She was Indian. I can’t wait to watch it.
Rosa Parks's, in 1955 refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white man, her defiance in a bus boycott of 381 days. " I'm just an average citizen. Many Black people before me were arrested for defying the bus laws. They prepared the way." ( Mrs.Rosa Parks.) My mother was white and sat me with her twice on the back of a bus, the second time there were violence towards my mother, not to me. This was in Birmingham, Alabama after the 4 young black girls were murdered by bombing at the church. I saw many things for I was young. My grandpa and parents never taught me racism of any form. We loved Dr. Martin King Jr. We had grown up with black and white working together, gardens, food, and sometimes it was dangerous. " Anyone singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help." Mahalia Jackson-1911-1972 (American Gospel Singer) My mother was not arrested, this white man threw a glass bottle of cola, and it hit on the forehead, but before he could get off the bus my mom tore into him and all he left on him in that nice suit was his boxer shorts and tie, and then this other black man carried us to the hospital where she hot 22 stitches on her forehead. ( My mama was brave.) I am glad these women are writing and making a documentary on the late Rosa's Park. My parents also embraced Malcolm x. They were not in any organizations, just their friends trying to assist the community we existed in , FARM AND WE LIVED IN A BLACK AND WHITE COMMUNITY. POOR BUT UNITED. "Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone.There were many others who felt the same way." (Mrs.Rosa Parks) We all cried of the murders of Malcolm x and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I understand history on all sides of American history. Thank you also dear Mother Rosa Park. Thank you Amy and team of Democracy Now everyday. ❤
your mama WAS brave. thank you for telling her story ❣
Not true at all… it was Claudette Colvin
Rebellion is what sows the seeds of evolution by creating space for something new.
👑🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽First class trouble maker! standing up for what's right was her human right it was only viewed as trouble to those doing the wrong and causing the trouble .
This was great!
Rosa park is amazing, I never saw this side. amazing.. just amazing
I Love Democracy Now!!!
All my life Mrs Rosa Parks has been a symbol of the Power of Black Women. During the ensuing bus boycotts, one Black woman was overheard saying - in her naked profundity: "My feets is tired but mah soul is at rest!" RESPECT to Black Women!

Keith she did not speak with the lower class southern accent you think she did and she never said that either . she was a teacher . I know you think that accent is cute and i can tell you are south african . You would not know from a personal experience, y'all have wild imagination
@@PHlophe : Have you ever been to Montgomery or have you ever met people who participated in the bus boycotts? I sure as hell did! Have a nice day.
Keith, part of my family is actually from there and uh yeah of course i am familiar. But you fabricated this imaginary low class southern accent that you assumed Rosa spoke with. Like i said you are familiar with your own Cape town , Kwazulu natal type of story . Sit this one out because you actually knew history you'd know that Rosa was hired because she looked marketable as a light skinned and educated woman as opposed to the teenager Claudette who was of darker complexion and pregnant.
@@PHlophe : I recalled the words of an anonymous demonstrator. For Godssake, think before you ink woman! I DID NOT SAY THAT ROSA HAD SPOKEN THOSE WORDS. Now just wake up! Goodbye!
I can hear the audio just fine. I have my cellphone paired with an external speaker.
Anyway ...... Our public schools need to teach more about Rosa Parks and black history in general. Black history should be mandatory. Hey, gym, PE is mandatory! Academic subjects should also be mandatory!!!!!!
I teach my grands about Black History, we look at PBS CHANNEL 13 when we can caught segments, inventors, painters, Black man that invented first oxygen mask wear in fires he became rich man , firies of " BLACK WALL STREET " OF OKLAHOMA
@@jackyblevins8724 Thank you Stella. The school system only teach about their heros. I taught my kids about MALCOLM X, Marcus Garvey, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, LL Patterson, The Scottosboro Boys, EMMITT TILL, Willie McGee, Nat Turner and many more. Information is in the libraries, exhibits, and old newspapers. I use to tell them about Major Taylor too. As a result, they taught their children.
I never knew any of this!! How the hell did I not know?? I was taught only that she dared to sit in the front seat.. and that's it. I guess they don't want to teach us about troublemakers who affect major change. The American "public education system" is pathetic.. controlled.
I met Rosa once. I was putting out a bowl of fresh fruit for our early morning breakfast buffet when I was a cook at the Fairbanks Princess Hotel. Rosa and I were the only ones in the dinning room. So I approached her and said, Welcome to Alaska Rosa!
Mrs Parks that's who you're talking about?¿??
@@jackyblevins8724 None other.
Thank you so very much. Never miss an episode, if I can help it. Today's episode about Mrs. Rosa Parks brought tears to my eyes. We studied her up here in Canada and were so proud of her strength and brilliance. Especially against such hostility. There was also a song called Abraham, Martin and John, about the assassinations of such fine men. And by the way, when she was against putting up Judge thomas, so many of us Canadians were, as well. We could tell he was a liar. And now the news about his wife. Sad.
When I saw him in front of Congress answering questions about sexual harassment I knew he was Liar then AND STILL LIAR !! I don't speak those people's names he's just one of them.I don't like giving CREDENCE in saying names .
Why did the exclude Malcolm?
It's so unfortunate people get labeled as a trouble maker, slander for speaking against racism, brutality, injustice and so many rejected discrimination if not accepted to divided discrimination ?
Bravo!
Hi
ROSA PARKS ❤❤❤
Quite informative and very interesting as usual bravo
Great interview
Mrs. Rosa Parks was a brave lady. I am grateful to her for not giving up her seat on that bus on December 1, 1955.
She was a fraud…. It was Claudette Colvin
“I ain’t finna move!”
- Rosa Parks probably
Amen
A little disappointed that the MIA was not mentioned in this segment.
How we go from Rosa Parks to WAP? Tell that story.
Rosa Parks learned changing times means being aware of the slow successful growth on housing, employment, education on certain race of people.
The unthankful jealous surprise from certain unappreciated people who speak against the large generation of so many great Pioneer I-con legendary out today speaking also against the positive Jews and so many other great people marched for change and stop corruption! How will there be change if we the People don't recognize the none violence people seeking equal justice for all people? Long time coming " a change going to come ".🙏💙
self-defense for women in America consists of going to prison after killing an abuser.
Rosa Parks is a great American Hero. Phenomenal and courageous. Love her.
Really. Rosa Parks said that her feet just hurt. She was not trying to start a movement. Simple acts that were heard loudly. ❤️❤️🔥🔥
I hope these gang banger realize what their black ancestors went through in America. Those that are killing each other make a mockery of this struggle.
Our dear mother Mrs. Rosa Parks was not no trouble maker. She got tired of giving in to the unfair and unjust Jim Crow laws. We all should be grateful and blessed for her courage and bravery and fought all her life even after the boycott. True and real dedication to life for all of us to have equality.
"Rosa Parks was a first-class troublemaker." - Amy Goodman ❤
Good Trouble 😊
Great Rosa parks we will always love you.
Regardless. We thank you for what you done for freedom.
The struggle continues.
DIVINELY CHOSEN ONE
YAHWEH'S BLESSINGS OF TROUBLE!!!!!!!
DIVINE GOODNESS ~
GOOD TROUBLE INDEED!!!!!!!
Angel 💝😍💝
as per usual a great job of reporting
Great homage to an incredible woman. "The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks" takes you and recaptures her journey fighting for justice. I thought I knew most of her story. I was wrong. This great documentary goes beyond December 1, 1955. This film tells you who she was and the years she sacrificed for justice.
Thank you Rosa Parks,Sammy Davis Jr in the 1960's the largest contribution towards black education and so many more. 🌹🙏💙

Ty!
With all due respect, If the honorable Ms. Rosa Parks wasnt the ONLY one who protested giving up her seat during this civil rights movement, and there were many others before her (of darker complexions) who took this action, then this also becomes a topic of favoritism and perhaps, colorism towards a particular look for symbolism. Rosa Parks was chosen as the face of that movement due to her complexion which spoke to the oppressors as non-threatening.
She was not "chosen" merely because of her complexion. The community rallied behind her because they knew of her work as an activist and they respected her. She did the WORK, the dangerous, exhausting unpaid WORK for civil rights for decades. THAT'S why she agreed to be the "face" of the movement. They addressed the fact that she was not the first. That is part of the mythology that this documentary addresses. Yes, her "light skinned privilege" made her more palatable to the American media, but as any strategist knows, you plan your moves with the most effective candidate. The goal was to end segregation, and E.D. Nixon knew she was the perfect candidate to be the symbol not just because of her complexion, but because of her personal integrity and tenacity. She had the courage to deal with all the very difficult challenges that came along with being that face, and she never waivered.
@@Gondegirl I appreciate your setting the record straight on this. People forget Smith, another teenager, took the same stance as Colvin as did Vernon Jones.
Just to make myself very clear, I did mention "with all due respect" BEFORE I went on to mention why these actions to make Ms. Parks the "face" may have been an issue of discrimination towards darker melanated people (not to say it was Ms. Park's intention) which still seems to be an issue that has lasted and remains to date. Just because "any strategist knows" that using Ms. Parks as the face doesn't excuse the fact that it had to be done to undermine a certain kind/color/look/appearance that didnt appease the ruling class. This should be recalled anytime Ms. Parker is mentioned as a reminder that it was done in discrimination towards darker melanated people. Suffice it to say, I am in no way taking away any honor for the work that Ms. Parks committed to. She was an American Indian woman like myself. You have purposely diverted my comment to present something else I didnt mention which is the honorable work of Ms. Parks. So we all know she was positioned in "strategy" because she was lightskin as the oppressors would accept nothing else and thats the problem I am speaking of; discrimination which leads us right back to square one: discrimination; the thing that Ms. Parks was protesting in the first place. Like I said, she wasn't the only one and thats settled and the one who initially "set the record straight" here was me when I mentioned there were others before Ms. Parks.
@@Gondegirl Where did I say she was chosen 'merely' because of her complexion. It may not have been the only reason but it surely was the main one. Did I say that the community DIDNT respect her?! NO ....thats not what I said miss! You can stop being offended now and stop making it seem as if Im being offensive by mentioning the great work Ms. Park contributed. If your aim os to make me look like I am attacking her sorry but thats not going to work. Her accomplishments go without saying and I didnt think I had to write a paragraph a out it. But you did and thats okay. Clearly we have a different style of communicating.
@@Gondegirl Colorism did come into play. Please do some RESEARCH.
Bless her soul 💖
Mrs. Parks, said she was thinking about Emmitt Till, the day she did not give up her sit. I HEARD AND SAW HER SAY IT. I also saw pictures of her and Mamie Till together. History is not history unless it is the truth.
They have ti do this again There is no sound at all
Yes...Mrs. Rosa Parks!
i remember the Republic of New Africa plans for the former American South.
Wasn't rebellious it was standing up for self that you wicked people are not going treat hear like she a second hand citizen
❤
The first black woman who refused to give their seat up wasn't Rosa Parks. It was a young black girl. How come her experience is overlooked.
It was not the young Black girl, Claudette. There were two before her. It is in her book. One was a man that they killed.
MRS. ROSA PARKS' ❤️🔥 LIGHT IRRITATED AND IRRITATES ~ THEIR DARKNESS!!!!!!!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could march on Washington and demand
Tesla's free energy technologies
NOW
After IAN but still before the next Carrington event that would spell disaster for the entire global electric grid .
Solar storms can hit fast and furious .....
Yet the big fossil fuel companies as well as powerplant operators that also own the distribution system ( the vulnerable electrical grid) act as if this could never happen .
Tesla's technologies are ideal for building out microgrids that could simply wirelessly download electricity straight from the atmosphere . For night time use mobile static electricity power clouds can supplement .
We need to start talking about real alternatives and not just a few windmills that are erected in wind prone areas .
Better ideas are available upon request .
Please request them !
As long as people don't know what is possible they will be stuck in fatalistic stupor instead of demanding better options .
We need to act with urgency as the heat plumes from our industrious northern hemisphere activities are melting the arctic ice and the glaciers at record pace . This will have consequences that human scientists can't seem to imagine .
Big oil is acting like the captain of the Titanic ........ We all know how that ended .
So tired of hearing about how special black Americans are and how noble their struggle was 50 years ago. I guess I'm racist.....
No sound 😱
I love you rosa parks
The Big Backfire 🔥
0:02 she ok
Mrs is like the African 'ulemu', respect, which would give a grown up woman the title 'Mai' or equivalent.
What about the lady before miss Parks that refuse to give up her seat can she be recognized also
Rose Parks refused to give up seat on a public bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama. They were afraid for her life. They told she had to leave Montgomery, Alabama if she wanted to live. She went to Detroit, Michigan. She had no money. She had a room in a very bad neighborhood. She was robbed three times. It was in the News paper.The man read about that own papa John Pizza. He got small apartment in a nice neighborhood. He paid her rent until she passed away.( yes he was Caucasian).
I don't know why the movement never provided for her. That is a shame and AWFUL.
Them : that was long time ago !
The time 👁. 👁
👄
My Grandmother Live through the Segregate south.
Beautiful lady, but there were other black women before Rosa Parks that refused to give up there seats and was giving the WS hell, so these women was dark skin, actually to dark for WS, so when Rosa Parks came along, they decided to make her a leader,,,for boycotting the bus
I want to watch party this documentary.
Amen
No audio for me either
Try an external speaker. If you have one available. Mine works well.
Dry bones live. good trouble!
How about the missinformation of who was the real ROSA PARKS.

Always loved Rosa Parks..discoverbd her when I was a wee girl..with bombs falling from the skyAand only the radio to talk to...oh yes and Im English..and white..questiion why has it taken sooooo long for her to be known by this present generation..huh?..greate lady!!
Very fair complexioned say so much. I am ashamed that black women had to, Deal with the tragedy. And the ugliness. It is still. bad for black women to report atrocities. In all level of employment today.☑️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish you could have given credits to the 15 year old girl that was the 1st woman to stand upon the bus!!!! The real 1st woman to stand upon the bus. I give her Rosa Parks credit but I mean give credit where credit is due.
Claudette, was not the first. The information is in her book.
@@Imissyoulou Who's book? There's 2 hers
@@Imissyoulou What if you're gonna ask her a couple of courses conversations the 1st 1. But Everyone in the black committee know that it was a young 15 year old.

I wish her story was titled differently « The BRAVE life of Rosa Parks « « The RADICAL Life… » « The PROGRESSIVE Life… » « The Righteous Life » Rebellion has a negative connotation.
