    This site offers a collection of Evans' photos, all full of elements that if one were to be taken away, it would be incomplete. In a time of despair and hopelessness, Evans captured beauty and contradiction while providing a deeper insight to the world rather than what is on the surface.

Rosa Parks - 0 views

  •  
    History is what this country is made of, and that picture of Rosa Parks will forever be known. The history channel website offers photo galleries, videos, and a focused chronological biography of Rosa's life. The utilization of the History Channel's website is beneficial when exploring the original image because it is a reputable source where you can also find other references to look upon. What I found particularly useful was their "Did You Know?" section which, in fact, did tell me something I did not know about Rosa Parks and her story.

Rosa Parks, 92 Founding symbol of civil rights movement, dies - 0 views

  •  
    On October 25, 2005, the New York Times released an in-depth article on Rosa Parks - she had passed. This article delved into the history of her iconic image and her story, from seamstress to rebel to civil rights leader. Every story, article, dedication, etc. is different as no one feels exactly the same as the next, nor do they all have to same resources and references. The NY Times' article included a bit of everything, from her birth & childhood to her education, her personal life, and her thoughts on the late Dr. King. This article supported that her heroic action was not meant to be an act of straight defiance, but of a grown individual trying to show that all people are on the same level.

Rosa Parks: How I Fought For Civil Rights - 0 views

  •  
    I particularly like this page as it is from Scholastic - a reputable education source. This site provides Rosa's story of how she fought for civil rights and then allows you, the reader, to express how you would feel and/or act if you were in her position. Unlike many other sites which just tell the story, this one has an in-depth interview with Rosa, inquiring about life before civil rights, her role in civil rights, civil rights today (at the time of interview), as well as other miscellaneous questions. I strongly believe this site is useful in exploring the original image as it allows us to better gauge the situation and feel the force behind it.

Rosa Parks Facts - 0 views

  •  
    This website is all about Rosa Parks. Before she showed the world her beliefs in principles and civility, she was just an ordinary individual in her segregated community. After that bus ride, she became engraved in history. Here, you can learn all about her - her history, her story, her beliefs, her principles. This site is useful for the image because it allows you to have a reference as well as a deeper insight to the individual none of us ever had the pleasure of meeting personally. One quote I found on this website I found to be particularly spot-on was: "Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others."

'Larger than life' civil rights icon honored with statue in Capitol - 0 views

  •  
    This website revolves around the recent unveiling of Rosa Parks' statue in the Capitol. The bronze statue is modeled after the iconic picture of Rosa on the bus, with her hands folded in her lap, and is the first African-American woman to be immortalized in such a fashion. The website, although it only focuses on this one event, is useful in exploring the original image because it shows us just how much of a profound impact Rosa Parks made that fateful day 58 years ago. It reminds us that no matter how much time elapses, moments are forever remembered and honored.
