Description
Barbie recognizes all female role models. The Inspiring Women Series pays tribute to incredible heroines of their time; courageous women who took risks, changed rules and paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger than ever before. Rosa Louise Parks led an ordinary life as a seamstress until an extraordinary moment on December 1, 1955. When she refused an order to give up her seat to a white passenger and move to the back of the bus, Mrs. Parks' act of defiance became the catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Rosa Parks' quiet strength played a notable role in the civil rights movement, but it would still take another nine years and more struggles before the 1964 Civil Rights Act overruled existing segregations laws. Hailed as "the Mother of the Modern Civil Rights Movement," Rosa Parks earned worldwide recognition and numerous awards including the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. Celebrate Rosa Parks and her impact on the civil rights movement with this Inspiring Women Series Rosa Parks Barbie doll. Includes doll stand, Certificate of Authenticity and doll wearing fashion and accessories. Colors and decorations may vary.

I want to thank Barbie/Mattel for designing this Rosa Parks Edition Barbie for the African American Community and giving our younger generation a chance to see such a powerful figure of color apart of their brand showing little girls of color that they have the power to do anything they set their mind to and fighting for what they believe is right, can bring new hope and change for ones who may be afraid to speak up for themselves and others! I purchased 2 and look forward to seeing more of our African American Women apart of the Series for Generations to come. Next Up, Maya Angelou, Michelle Obama, Oprah, Beyoncé, Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, Cicely Tyson and Many More. Thank You Barbie/Mattel Family

When I saw the Rosa Parks's doll being released, I decided to give this to my grown daughter so that she could pass it on to future generations of Rosa's courage and strength...as a BLACK WOMAN [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is wonderful that Mattel would honor such an iconic person in this type of way. I'm proud to buy this for my daughter and explain to her the meaning and importance of this figure.
