Resurfaced pictures of Rosa Parks have made their way to the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery seventy years after being taking during the marches of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.Â
NBC News reports that the pictures were found inside of a contact sheet in a library at Stanford University in California. They were taken by Matthew Herron, a photographer who documented the marches.
The recently discovered pictures place Parks at the march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. The photos taken at the time were rejected for print due to blurriness and other factors.
Her presence at the march took place exactly a decade after she was arrested for defying the racial segregation policy in a Montgomery bus.Â
Among the pictures is Marion native Doris Wilson, who was 20-years-old when she joined the march. In one of them Wilson can be seen being treated for blisters by a doctor named June Finer.Â
