Ride To Freedom: The Rosa Parks Story
Angela Bassett stars in this compelling docudrama about the strong-willed NAACP secretary whose refusal to give up her seat on a bus to a white woman served as a catalyst for the civil rights movement. Parks' tenacity and drive turned her into a symbol of strength to the African-American community, but it also made her a prime target for the Ku Klux Klan's hatred. With Peter Francis James, Cicely Tyson.
