QUIET STRENGTH

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks is credited with starting the Civil Rights Movement on December 1, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus to a white man. Deforia Lane’s soothing, clear voice effectively brings forth Rosa’s message of peace and courage and leaves listeners with the feeling that they’ve been in the presence of the great woman herself. Augmented by the singing of psalms and spirituals, this offering conveys the deep faith and hope that stirred a nation out of its blindness to grave injustice.
