TV ONE Goes BEHIND THE MOMENT In Rosa Parks Bio Pic Premiering February 11

Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat 62 years ago was only the beginning. Premiering on TV One on Sunday, February 11 at 7/6C, "Behind The Movement" offers a closer look at how the history-making Montgomery Bus Boycott was planned in just three days and ultimately led to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

Set during the tumultuous Civil Rights era, "Behind The Movement" reveals the untold story of how a group of everyday people decided this incident was the right time to take a stand for their civil rights and demand equal treatment. The film stars Meta Golding ("The Hunger Games") as Rosa Parks, Isaiah Washington ("The 100") as E.D. Nixon, Loretta Devine ("Waiting to Exhale") as Jo Ann Robinson, Roger Guenveur Smith ("American Gangster") as Raymond Parks, and Shaun Clay as Dr. Martin LUTHER King, Jr.

This original made-for-television movie honors the contributions of many UNSUNG heroes of this watershed moment in the Civil Rights struggle, recounting the inner workings and behind the scenes preparation that took place during three intense days between the fateful evening when Parks refused to give up her seat, to the launch of this significant protest. "Behind The Movement" is written by Katrina M. O'Gilvie and directed by Aric Avelino.
