Rosa Parks made a brave choice when she refused to give up her seat on a bus, and that moment helped spark a massive movement to change the world. For a long time, strong women have been the heart of the fight for fairness. This includes Ruby Bridges, who was very brave when she went to a new school, and Fannie Lou Hamer, who worked hard so everyone would have the right to vote.
This special program incorporates integrated video projection and music performance to tell their stories and celebrate the amazing women who brought people together to stand up for what is right.

“I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.”
-Rosa Parks
