#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1955, Rosa Parks is jailed for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man, a violation of the city’s racial segregation laws. The successful Montgomery Bus Boycott, organized by a young Baptist minister named Martin Luther King, Jr., followed Park’s historic act of civil disobedience. Parks had been active in Civil Rights prior to 1955, having joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943.And prior to the bus boycott, local civil rights leaders had been planning to challenge Montgomery’s racist bus laws for several months. In fact, many young women had refused to give up their seats in the years prior to this coordinated effort. Following Parks’ arrest, the NAACP and other African American activists immediately called for a bus boycott to be held by black citizens on Monday, December 5. The first day of the bus boycott was a great success, and that night the 26-year-old Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. emerged as the leader of the bus boycott which stretched on for more than a year, diminishing Montgomery bus ridership by 70 percent. On November 13, 1956, the Supreme Court struck down Alabama state and Montgomery city bus segregation laws as being in violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Rosa Parks died on October 24, 2005. Three days later the U.S. Senate passed a resolution to honor Parks by allowing her body to lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

Fri, February 19, 2021 “The majority of the Negroes who took part in the year-long boycott of Montgomery’s buses were poor and untutored; but they understood the essence of the Montgomery movement; one elderly woman summed it up for the rest. When asked after several weeks of walking whether she was tired, she answered: ‘My feet is tired, but my soul is at rest.’” —Martin Luther King, Jr. ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ #martinlutherkingjr #drmartinlutherkingjr #drmartinlutherkingjrquote #martinlutherkingjrquote #busboycott #montgomerybusboycott #montgomerymovement #learnsomethingneweveryday #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #bhm #monriatitans https://www.instagram.com/p/CLgLGm0DB9Y/?igshid=1ajtpwidntrch

YES, I went to #Starbucks and I double dog dare somebody to say something crazy about it! Cause you see, the purpose of a boycott is to hit a company in their pockets. Even if all the black folks in one state stopped patronizing the place, it would not affect them economically! The Montgomery #BusBoycott did because the majority of the patrons were black. If we want to hit a company in the pockets it must be strategic and it must be organized! And right now, Starbucks as a whole, is not the target, rather it was ONE racist employee! And he's outta there! #DropTheMic #ImDrinkingStarbucks #SayWhat
