Notes
INTRODUCTION: THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF TEMPERAMENT
1.
Montgomery, Alabama. December 1, 1955
: For an excellent biography of Rosa Parks, see
Douglas Brinkley, 
Rosa Parks: A Life
(New York: Penguin, 2000). Most of the material in
Quiet
about Parks is drawn from this work.
A note about Parks: Some have questioned the singularity of her actions, pointing out that
she’d had plenty of civil rights training before boarding that bus. While this is true, there’s
no evidence, according to Brinkley, that Parks acted in a premeditated manner that evening,
or even as an activist; she was simply being herself. More important for 
Quiet
’s purposes, her
personality did not prevent her from being powerful; on the contrary, it made her a natural
at nonviolent resistance.

Become What We Are,”

, September 1994. (Higley was talking about
boldness and inhibition, not extroversion and introversion per se, but the concepts overlap in
many ways.)
