The boycott was led by a newcomer to Montgomery named Martin Luther King, Jr. The boycott dealt a severe blow to the bus company's profits as dozens of public buses stood idle for months. Instead they carpooled, rode in Black-owned cabs, or walked, some as far as 20 miles. Residents refused to board the city's buses. Her defiance sparked a successful boycott of buses in Montgomery a few days later. In 1955, Parks rejected a bus driver's order to leave a row of four seats in the "colored" section once the white section had filled up and move to the back of the bus. Rosa Parks occupies an iconic status in the civil rights movement after she refused to vacate a seat on a bus in favor of a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Holy Sister by Mark Lawrence![]() ![]() Everywhere the emperor’s armies are in retreat.
