Rita Dove’s poem ‘Rosa’ is a brief and powerful piece that tells the tale of Rosa Parks in simple and memorable words. Parks are mentioned throughout the poem but not by name (except in the title). Dove alludes to Rosa Parks’ most famous deed, sitting in the front of a bus in the “white” section. By sitting there and doing “nothing,” she “stood up” against segregation, tyranny, and bigotry.
