    I'm so proud of my people. This boycott is not recognized as much as it should be for being one of the greatest examples of how people can change a system by refusing to be a part of it. Black people you are amazing.

    One thing I wasn't taught at school - I had to go learn it for myself - is that there was a similar bus boycott in Bristol (England) during 1963. In 1955, the Bristol Omnibus Company issued a colour bar to prevent the employment of black or south Asian drivers/conductors on their buses. It did cause racial tensions & riots in the city until 1963. The boycott lasted for 4 months until the colour bar was finally lifted on the day of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech in Washington on 28th August 1963. ✨
    This boycott led directly two years later to the passage of the Race Relations Act in 1965, the first major piece of UK legislation outlawing overt racial discrimination in public places. 😍
    Civic action and disobedience in the right place, at the right time, can make ALL the difference in the world. 🎊

    Jo Ann Robinson didn't propose the bill bc of Rosa Parks, she did it for a young black lady by the name of Claudette Colvin. Rosa Park's was secretary of that NAACP chapter and they figured she be a "better face" for the boycott considering Colvin was of darker skin and pregnant out of wedlock...do better history channel

      They stopped riding the bus because it made a grand effect on how much money the bus company was making. The company lost a lot of money because of the boycott so they had to make changes to discrimination on the bus

    Question: why did Alabama have that law forcing blacks in the back of the bus??
    ….. Is it because of lack of air conditioning; and the hot humidity along with lack of education or money made for a awful smelly experience.
