Each year in Ohio, the Statewide Tribute to Rosa Parks evening sponsored by COTA, The Ohio State University-Office of Outreach and Engagement and the Office of the Honorable Congresswoman Joyce Beatty at COSI, features a Community Leaders Reception and a special Panel Discussion produced at the WOSU Studios @ COSI Columbus. During the 2013 celebration, several interviews were conducted at the event. These interviews are woven into this special broadcast production. This was the 9th annual tribute and celebration. This is the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Rosa Parks.
“The Power of One-A Celebration of Rosa Parks” also features excerpts of the 2012 “Power of One” children’s assembly celebration held at the Capitol Theater in the Vern Riffe State Tower. This event helped educate our community youth on the ultimate importance and significance of the stance Rosa Parks made so we can enjoy the liberties all American’s have today. Additionally, historic footage, select footage from the panel discussion and the previously mentioned interviews are used in “The Power of One-A Celebration of Rosa Parks.” Coupled with Black History Facts, the program highlights the achievements of Rosa Parks through the commentary and imagery.
“The Power of One-A Celebration of Rosa Parks” is produced by Ron Bryant and directed by Dale Gonzales White. These Telly Award winners are currently working on other first-run content and programming.
