Parks, Rosa
http://www.britannica.com/blackhistory/micro/712/99.html
The Britannica site and highlighted links provides a brief introduction to Rosa Parks and her role in the Civil Rights movement as well as other people, organizations, and documents such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the NAACP, and Martin Luther King, Jr. that are related to the movement. Each link has a photograph and some contain an audio link that directly relates to the content. The site would serve best as an introduction to the content and as a springboard for investigating the Civil Rights Movement.
Overall Rating: 4
Rosa Parks
http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/people/A0837678.html
Rosa Parks and her role in the struggle for civil rights is the focus of this site. Formatted as an encyclopedia entry, the content includes her refusal to give up her seat on a bus as the "impetus" for the bus boycott. This site is limited with regard to content and provides only one additional link to a page for Martin Luther King, Jr.
Overall Rating: 2
The Troy State University Montgomery Rosa Parks Library and Museum
http://www.tsum.edu/museum/
The site, which links to the Rosa Parks Library and Museum, is a "well-organized" foundational research link that provides a "valuable starting point for investigating the struggle for civil rights." The site "succinctly defines the struggle for civil rights and places significant events, such as the bus boycott into the context of the larger struggle." The content is formatted to be concise and is similar to an encyclopedia entry.
