I’m continuing to look at the “A Revolution from Below” as African American communities and incredibly brave individuals fought against white supremacists in America’s southern states. One of the most famous of these fights was the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This year-long protest, beginning in December 1955 and organized by a broad coalition, ultimately played a role in a Supreme Court decision mandating the desegregation of city buses. And that will be my main focus today.
