In honor of Juneteenth, this episode of Big Blend Radio features H.H. Leonards, author of "Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus: Life, Lessons, and Leadership," and Dr. LaDonna Boyd, CEO/Publisher of R.H. Boyd.

H.H. Leonards is founder and chair of the O Street Museum Foundation in Washington, D.C., and the Mansion on O Street, where Mrs. Rosa Parks called her home-away-from-home for the last decade of her life. Published by R.H. Boyd, the book "Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus" is a collection of inspiring memories compiled from the decade that Civil Rights activist Rosa Parks was a guest in author H.H. Leonards' home in Washington DC. See: https://www.omansion.com/

The Nashville-based enterprise is expanding beyond its curriculum offerings to include book publishing.
