Title: Rosa Parks Signed Index Card Display with Iconic Mugshot – JSA Certified (YY51172)

Description:
This powerful display features an authenticated hand-signed index card by Rosa Parks, the iconic civil rights activist. Her signature, penned in blue ballpoint on a 3" x 5" orange index card, is clean and well-preserved. The signature has been certified authentic by James Spence Authentication (JSA) and comes with full Letter of Authenticity (certification number YY51172).

The autograph is attractively matted below a striking reproduction of Parks’ famous December 1955 mugshot, taken after her arrest in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her bus seat—an act that ignited the Montgomery Bus Boycott and galvanized the modern Civil Rights Movement. The display is housed in a deep burgundy matting with double insets. Please note: the mat shows minor wear along the edges, though the signature and photograph remain unaffected and prominently showcased.

Historical Context:
Rosa Parks (1913–2005) was a pivotal figure in the fight against racial segregation in America. Her arrest on December 1, 1955, led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a landmark campaign spearheaded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parks' quiet courage and moral clarity earned her the title “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.” Her legacy continues to inspire generations in the struggle for justice and equality.
