Gotta be in it to win it. I never come lame type killing in the game. I get busy. It's only right that I address this. Gotta be in it to win it. I never come lame type killing in the game. Hot music. I never kissed that ass of the masses. I'm the black molasses. Thick and I lasted.
The Montgomery bus boycott began on December 5, 1955, four days after Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man.
Called the mother of the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks invigorated the struggle for racial equality when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama. Parks' arrest on December 1, 1955 launched the Montgomery Bus Boycott by 17,000 black citizens. A Supreme Court ruling and declining revenues forced the city to desegregate its buses thirteen months later. Parks became an instant icon, but her resistance was a natural extension of a lifelong commitment to activism.
