Rosa Parks’s decades of activist experience have been overshadowed by a selective history of the Civl Rights Movement that ignores its roots in a longer, protracted struggle for justice. Biographer Jeanne Theoharis and documentarian Yoruba Richen join The Marc Steiner show to set the record straight on the many under-appreciated contributions of Rosa Parks.
Jeanne Theoharis is the author of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks and a professor of political science at the Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.
Yoruba Richen is a film director and producer, and the co-director of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks. She is the director of the documentary program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism of the City of New York.

Very interesting story! A very brave woman and activist.
The only time a skin tone should be of relevance: How good are you adapted to UV rays, how much Vitamin D3 should be supplemented in the environment you live.
I guess there is still a long way to go..
So tired of this garb
The real rosa parks story: it was all a setup – Rosa and her handlers worked together and it was all staged photo op. The end.
NEVER FORGET HOW ROSA PARKS AWARDED PRESIDENT TRUMP AN AWARD FOR HELPING BLACK PEOPLE IN NEW YORK.
good stuff
21:29 interesting
Yikes. Past time to hang it up boomer? 😉
I just can't side with violent protest, mob rule essentially. Self protection is another thing. As a white, if I had said something like that, I'd be called an insurrectionist or domestic terrorist, racist in this day and age. Minorities have suffered inhumane violence like the Native Americans, primarily from white settlers. Who could forget, much less forgive. So racism continues from all sides sadly. God help us. Have a Heart
Marc Steiner you Havnt gave us equality, how the hell have you gave us equality when your people own all the businesses and you make all the laws you Havnt paid for your crimes against my people, you have never even given us reparations, just because you let a black woman come own here and talk about her paid and the crap your people did to us and you declare oh that was wrong but you don’t pay for your crimes or give us reparations your apologies are hollow and you want escape. You think your so smart but we laugh at you , for this is what the lord have for you and yours , rev-13-9-10-11. And Isaiah 14-21. We be seeing you.
Most of us trying to pass now. Dark to light
That's weird that I didn't know African American women went referd to as miss I was born in 1961 we always referred to are elders as Mr. or Mrs. or Miss regardless of race so that was interesting
Hey YouTube stop pushing this garbage to me. If you want to de-radicalize me go back to logos.
I was Dry Cleaner and Clothier to Rosa and Raymond Parks
â¤â¤â¤
Fight for black freedom. Usa has more than just black. U r irrelevant to many other minority

((((((((MORE HARM THAN GOOD))))))))

If the story of the NAACP setting up the whole situation not here, then this is propaganda
Happy Birthday, Rosa Parks; you are a true heroinne. 110 years is definitely a huge milestone. May god bless your beautiful soul.
Until I truly listen to Strange Fruit by the Legend Billie Holiday that I truly understand the incredible message that it contains!
Stop with your pedantic 0 reinterpretation of History Miss Rosa Parks was a wonderful woman I met her in 1986 she was dedicated to her cause even though she was misused by many including a many of these talking heads
You have to start with sexism? Really? Ugh… I'm out.
Rosa Parks true story is worth listening to! Real Struggle in past times of slavery is used today to advantage without understanding it for facts. I didn't know of Rosa Parks until this information.
I'm glad you did this show on Rosa Parks. I recall working with Anne Braden years ago when we were re-printing her book, The Wall Between, and we discussed Mrs. Parks, how she had been romanticized & in the process cast in this passive victim role. But, I argued, she was anything but passive. it's my understanding that Mrs. Parks & SCLC & NAACP activists planned that bus incident to use as a trigger that would launch this fierce battle against Jim Crow. Despite the patriarchal hierarchy of civil rights groups during these times, women in the movement played an essential role in fueling the movement & protecting it from White foes. See JoAnne Robinson's insider account in "The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Women Who Started It." The women in this movement were fierce protectors and organizers of it, not a passive bone in their body! They saved the boycott from failing many times and rallied the spirits of the Black participants who found themselves threatened & attacked constantly.
You are a great story teller boss. You got this💯ðŸ‘ðŸ½
PAR brought me to this and I’m so excited â¤
Thanks for sharing ðŸ™ðŸ»
I have a Brotherhood/Sisterhood Award Signed By Her for my working in helping to pass a civilrights bill in KY 1999* Yes they waited that long to pass it*
Whew! Eye-opening.
She was paid to go sit at the front of the bus and refuse to move
“you know, you know, you knowâ€, no we don’t know, that why we are here!
You guys forgot to mention the Highlander Folk School. A decent commemoration of her life and moment.
If you live as a kid in Florida you won’t know any of this anymore. DeSantis says so.
The is is utter nonsense.
To the first question: was she was given as meek to protect her and her family?
I find it interesting that modern-day anti-colonial activists still use colonial banker titles on people. Remember, title is a legal handle to ownership.
End Global Apartheid.
Can it be as simple as Mrs. Parks was aging and she was just naturally tired from the world hate, racism and worrying about her life and bills and so on.
I wonder if Marc Steiner will talk about who ran the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade? Who own all the slave ships? Names please.
✊
when he says took no nonsense " from racist whites" why did he not just say racists and leave it at that? that one term he used at the very begging now makes me have lost all interest in what he had to say as he is repeating the same narrative as all main stream media feeding into the narrative that white are racist and bad yet we all know not all of any kind can be all good or all bad it will always be a mix. i will now unsubscribe take care and maybe be more careful how you word things in the future and lastly while i understand that is what they were, racist whites, we are in the middle of a whole new racist movement these days and it is now being aimed at hate towards whites and this simply feeds into and fuels that! i would have liked to heard more about Rosa but not at this expense sorry i can not endure such drivel. good day though and take care.
Happy birthday, Mrs. Rosa Parks. 110 years loved old. I was born in Alabama, and my parents taught me well.
"I'm just an average citizen. Many black people before me were arrested for defying the bus laws. They prepared the way. "Mother Parkes."
My grandparents and both my parents lived not far from Albertville, Alabama. We always had African American black friends going many years way back. As a child later in the fifties I grew up with all this history through Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X, the Black Panther movement, and lived through it the years with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.
I was taught American history on all sides, and I lived and saw many things as a white child.
Thank you, Marc Steiner, for having these extraordinary women guests, Jeanne Theoharis for your book and Yoruba Richin on your show today. Looking forward to seeing this documentary.
With the deepest appreciation and respect for all of you today.â¤ï¸
So great to see you Marc!!!

You lost me at "Patriarchy in the Civil Rights Movement". Get that feminist crap outta here! BS!!!! GO look at how the panthers REALLY treated women!
