Black History Month Rosa Parks

Join us for this live virtual performance by Women In History where Sherrie Tolliver portrays Civil Rights Activist Rosa Parks.

Sherrie Tolliver joined Women In History in 1994 and has accumulated a rich cadre of characters.   Ms. Tolliver’s favorite characters are “the ones who have a rags-to-riches theme in their lives. These women inspired me because they triumphed over incredibly difficult circumstances. At a time when being poor, black and female usually meant most doors of opportunity were closed. They dared to dream big dreams and refused to take “no” for an answer. They chose to pursue EXCELLENCE and they did it with vision, courage, and compassion for others. They blazed trails for other, and all of them were dedicated to empowering, encouraging, and educating women and men, so that they, too, could achieve their dreams.
