I would have given this package the second place award. It is comprehensive, and very moving. It connects the life and death of Rosa Parks to the people for whom she was an icon. It is incredibly difficult to do a package as extensive and ambitious as this and make it as enthralling as I found it to be.
A very good chronological look at the passing of an icon on the same level as the passing of the Pope. Lots of good looks at faces of local and national mourners define monumental moments in history.
[This package about] Rosa Parks was thick, rich, probably overdone and not edited tightly enough, but successful nonetheless.
