Newly released photos of Rosa Parks emphasize lesser-known aspects of her legacy. These images, made public for the first time, show Parks a decade after her involvement in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, 70 years ago this month. They highlight her continued activism beyond that iconic moment. The photos were released to the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. They are part of a project to reunite Civil Rights photographer Matt Herron's work with the communities he depicted. The collection also includes images from the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965. Participants Doris Wilson and Cheryl Gardner Davis reflected on their experiences and the significance of these historical moments, during a recent gathering with Herron's widow.
