Happy birthday to Mrs. Mary Louise Smith. At just 18 years old, she was arrested 40 days before Rosa Parks for refusing to give her seat up to a white passenger. Because her father was an alcoholic, black leaders felt his background would undermine the protest. #marylouisesmith #rosaparks #montgomerybusboycott #theperfectvictim #blackhidstory #blackhistory #thingstheydontteachyou #treasureourown #blackhistoryeveryday #neverforget #blackhid #greatblackwomen
