We live in critical times and a period were historical facts and victories have been buried under populism and strong right-wing demagogy. So remembering Rosa Parks and the 1955 bus boycott becomes essential because we might have to ...repeat it!
The 1955 Montgomery bus boycott was a 381-day mass protest against racial segregation on public buses in Montgomery, Alabama, sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger on December 1, 1955.
Her arrest led to the boycott, coordinated by the Montgomery Improvement Association and led by Martin Luther King Jr. The boycott, which involved thousands of Black citizens, severely impacted the city's bus system and ended after the Supreme Court ruled that bus segregation was unconstitutional in November 13, 1956.
The boycott desegregated Montgomery's buses and became a pivotal event in the broader American civil rights movement.
Rosa Parks became an icon of dignity and resistance, and her quiet strength became a symbol of how individual acts can inspire monumental change.
Also in this issue a historical fiction short story from Nneka Solomon.
