Photograph shows Representative John Conyers and aide, Rosa Parks, picketing General Motors headquarters in Detroit, in protest of the company's decision to close five Michigan plants. Conyers holds a sign reading: "GM has made the most inhumane decision in its history".
Caption label from exhibit Rosa Parks: In Her Own Words--Detroit 1957 and Beyond: Parks Picketing in front of General Motors. In 1964 Rosa Parks volunteered on John Conyers' campaign to represent Michigan's First Congressional District. After he won, he hired Rosa in March 1965 to work in his Detroit office as a receptionist and administrative assistant. She answered phones, met with visitors, handled constituent cases, and assisted the Congressman with scheduling. The position restored the Parkses' financial stability. She retired in 1988.
