The Montgomery Bus Boycott | Equal Justice Initiative

Nearly every Black resident in Montgomery refused to ride city buses. They walked, biked, took taxis, carpooled, and even rode mules for 382 days.

👥 Des voix qui ont fait bouger les choses.

📖 Le 1er décembre 1955, Rosa Parks refuse de céder sa place dans un bus.

Avec son discours “I have a dream”, Martin Luther King Jr. porte un message d’égalité, de justice et de paix.

Angela Davis s’engage, elle, contre le racisme, les inégalités sociales et les oppressions.

✊🏻 Trois parcours, une même volonté : faire évoluer les mentalités.

#MartinLutherKingjr spoke these words on December 5, 1955, at Holt Street Baptist Church in Montgomery, #Alabama. Days earlier, #RosaParks had been arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. King, just 26 years old at the time, addressed the crowd at the first mass meeting of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in what was one of his first major public speeches.

15-year-old #ClaudetteColvin refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, AL, bus on #ThisDayInHistory in 1955, nine months before #RosaParks did it. The judge dropped two of the charges, busting her only for 'assault' during her arrest so an appeal could not affect #segregation.
She was called the mother of the civil rights movement. #RosaParks

For a toddler, she ATE THIS UP! Here she is as the great #SojournerTruth, #MadamCJWalker, and #RosaParks
