Synopsis
In one of the most important books published by King in his lifetime, he tells the story of the successful bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, which was initiated by Rosa Parks's historic refusal, in December, 1955, to give up her seat on a bus for a white person. He tells the behind-the-scenes struggle to build a movement based on the philosophy of nonviolent protest, and details the resistance on the part of white supremacists that erupted in violence. In the last chapter, "Where Do We Go From Here," King provides an eloquent analysis of the Montgomery experience, calling it a signal for historic change, and offers a very specific plan for a "militant and nonviolent mass movement."
