Three years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus, a West Virginia woman, Bertha Dozier, asserted her own civil rights and was jailed for it.

Her cousin, Gail Fitzgerald, made a documentary about the incident.

The Cultural Awareness and Enrichment Group will present "Bertha's Story: The First Rosa Parks" at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Randolph County Community Arts Center.

In the movie documentary, Dozier recounts her traumatizing experience on a city bus in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1952.

Dozier is alive and lives in White Sulphur Springs, her hometown. Because of her age, she may not be able to attend the presentation, but Fitzgerald, who made the documentary, will be there. Following the movie, there will be a general discussion and audience participation led by Fitzgerald and Elkins City Councilman Duke Talbott.

Following the program, refreshments will be served. The public is invited to attend. Admission will be free but donations will be accepted. For more information, call 304-636-4160 or 304-614-9234.
