| The
story of Rosa Parks is well known. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama
in 1913, Rosa Parks’ childhood was framed by the severe
restrictions on the lives of African-Americans in the southern
United States. She attended segregated schools, having to leave
High School early to care for her grandmother and mother, both
of whom had become ill. Rosa Parks was not able to finish High
School until after she was married. She married Raymond Parks
in 1932 and they both became involved in the NAACP (National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the Montgomery
Voters’ League. She was, therefore, involved in civil rights
struggle in the USA long before the bus incident for which she
is famous. More on

This
annotated listing of books about pioneers and heroes from black
& minority ethnic groups, is based on the stock currently
held at the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Archive in Manchester.
Inevitably, these kinds of lists are out-of-date almost as soon
as they are produced! But it may help you to find resources
that you didn’t know about. Most of the books are still
in print, even though they may take some hunting. A few are
not in print, but you might find old copies available in Development
Education Centres, libraries, etc. A guide to sources is listed
at the end of the document, with a particular focus on the North-West.
