The African-American film box office success OF BARBERSHOP took the sardonic position that Rosa Parks did nothing but take the bus. So it is with great joy that MOVIEGUIDE® reviews of a television movie, RIDE to FREEDOM: ROSA PARKS STORY, which tells the whole story of this valiant woman. The film begins with a famous press coverage of her getting on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama and quickly flashing back to Rosa going to a little quaker school for blacks in 1924. When one black girl says that it doesn't matter whether they learn to read or write because they just have to serve white people, young Rose points out that God has created all equals, and that she can be whatever she wants to be. Rose grows an attractive young woman, which the hairdresser, who is called by the name of Parks, decides in court. She tries to avoid him, but in the end his perseverance wins. One day she goes to visit her friend, who is a member of the NAACP. She begins to volunteer to teach black children to read and use the Bible as her textbook. During a rainy day, she shies away from getting on in front of the bus, paying for the fare, getting out, getting soaked in rain, and then back in the back. The driver leaves without her. Eventually, she sits in the back of the colored part of the same bus with the same driver. A white passenger enters and the driver tells her to move. When she doesn't want to, he calls the police. Police note to the driver that she is legally sitting in a colored section, so moves the sign on the seat behind her and the police arrest her. The rest is history. Blacks across Montgomery Montgomery boycott public transport. Martin Luther King Jr. becomes a household name, and the United States Supreme Court overthrew discriminatory laws in Montgomery, Alabama. Documentary footage at the end shows the real Rose Parks honoring the President of the United States. RIDE TO FREEDOM is a well-produced television movie. Although the producer says that much of the Christian content has been cut, there is enough Christian content to admit that Rosa Parks was not motivated by the uprising. In fact, she was sitting in a color section, and the driver was the one who moved the sign. One of the characters even says that Rosa did what she did because of her Christian commitment to the teachings of Jesus! There is a great authenticity of the film, and the characters are real. While Angela Bassett, who helped produce the film, looks a bit old to teen Rose, she does a superb job, especially as Rose ages. Director Julie Dash is the first African-American female director to ever have a film at a commercial box office in the United States, DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST, which was well reviewed by MOVIEGUIDE® in 1992. RIDE TO FREEDOM is showing off her great talent and it's really unfortunate that it hasn't been able to make it back to the big screen. Do you like such articles?

Her key role in the civil rights movement has changed the history of this country, and her legacy lives proudly today. And Parks' story doesn't just live because her work is historically remarkable. We will never forget The Parkes Story, because the details of her journey are so truly compelling. The moment she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus is a powerful, powerful scene that many Hollywood directors have taken on to recreate.
