About this audiobook

"We must come together and live as one. . . I do believe we can achieve Dr. King's dream of a better world." - Rosa ParksIn 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, seamstress Rosa Parks boarded a bus after a hard day's work and decided she was just too tired to give up her seat to a white passenger. This simple, unplanned act sparked the 1956 bus boycott coordinated by Martin Luther King Jr., and eventually led to the disintegration of institutionalized segregation in the South. In this fascinating dialogue between this extraordinary woman and best-selling author and lecturer Deepak Chopra, M.D., Parks explains how she has spent her life striving for freedom, equality, and respect for people of all races and religions. The secrets of inner power that have given her strength for her 87 years include:-feeling beneath no one, but at the same time, superior to no one;-being totally fearless-and completely independent of the good or bad opinion of others;-not showing any anger or resentment in the face of adversity; and-keeping her heart full of forgiveness.Throughout this dialogue, you will be inspired, educated, and heartened by the optimistic vision of the world that Rosa Parks embodies. She is an unforgettable woman-and listening to this tape will be a truly memorable experience for you!
