FROM PAUL AND MARY

After Rosa Parks was arrested on Dec. 1,1955, for refusing to let a white passenger take her seat on a Montgomery,AL, bus, African Americans began a prolonged boycott of the bus company by walking or carpooling for more than a year. On Dec. 21,1956,black passengers once again rode Montgomery City Lines. The Boycott is represented by a detail from " Walking," a 1958 painting by Charles Alston.
