Connect Rosa Parks, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and rights and responsibilities with this three-resource reading comprehension bundle. Differentiated non-fiction texts and 46 ready-to-use activities support learning across Years 4–10, with different year ranges for each resource.

Pupils explore Parks’s life as a trained activist, Jim Crow segregation, and the Black women organisers who helped build and sustain the 13-month boycott. A supporting citizenship text connects these historical examples with human rights, fairness, rules and laws, civil disobedience, and community participation.
