(Note: The interview with Rosa Parks is imbedded in an hour-long radio programme. If you download the file—and you must download it from the website onto your computer before class, as otherwise it will take too long—you can find the interview by scrolling along the bottom bar of the Windows Media Player until you reach time index 12:39. Then push the play button.)
