Kadejia Cheatom got a glimpse into the life of Rosa Parks when she played the part of the civil rights icon in a play Thursday.

She and her sister, Kabreshia Cheatom, 10, and other local Boys and Girls Club members took part in a dramatic interpretation of the historical Rosa Parks bus boycott of 1955.
