🚌✊🏾 Saturday Feature: The Rosa Parks Story (2002) — Angela Bassett & Cicely Tyson Honor a Civil Rights Icon
BlackTree Media proudly presents The Rosa Parks Story (2002), a powerful television film that chronicles the life, courage, and quiet strength of Rosa Parks, whose single act of resistance helped ignite the modern Civil Rights Movement.
Angela Bassett delivers a deeply moving performance as Rosa Parks, capturing her dignity, resolve, and humanity beyond the history books. The late, great Cicely Tyson appears as Rosa’s mother, grounding the story in generational wisdom, sacrifice, and love.
⭐ Plot
Set against the backdrop of Jim Crow–era America, the film traces Rosa Parks’ life before and after her historic refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama. Rather than portraying Parks as a solitary symbol, the story reveals a woman shaped by family, faith, community, and years of activism.
As the Montgomery Bus Boycott unfolds, Parks and her husband Raymond face harassment, economic hardship, and constant danger — illustrating the real cost of standing up for justice.
