Description

Rosa Parks’ act of defiance on an Alabama bus in 1955 has been mythologized as a spontaneous act that sparked a local act of resistance and solidarity known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, but what if I told you that the boycott was the result of six years of careful planning, and that Parks had wargamed her nonviolent disobedience at an activist training school in Tennessee earlier that year? Montgomery proved that while courage may be important, training and preparation is even more so.
