politically active life of Rosa Parks, a side of the civil rights figure that the author contends has been under reported. Ms. McGuire recalls Rosa Parks' involvement as an NAACP organizer who in 1944 investigated the rape of Recy Taylor, a black sharecropper, who was attacked by seven white men on her way home from church.
