The Rosa Parks House Project

The house, formerly owned by Rosa McCauley Parks’ only sibling Sylvester McCauley, was purchased from the Detroit demolition lists in 2016 to honor Rosa Parks and to preserve the evidence of the precarious struggle of Rosa Parks to keep a roof over her head in the “Northern promised land that wasn’t.”
