    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox The Making of African American Identity: Vol. III, 1917-1968 Black Belt Press The ONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT M and the WOMEN WHO STARTED IT __________________________ The Memoir of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson __________________________ Mrs. Jo Ann Gibson Robinson Black women in Montgomery, Alabama, unlocked a remarkable spirit in their city in late 1955. Sick of segregated public transportation, these women decided to wield their financial power against the city bus system and, led by Jo Ann Gibson Robinson (1912-1992), convinced Montgomery's African Americans to stop using public transportation. Robinson was born in Georgia and attended the segregated schools of Macon. After graduating from Fort Valley State College, she taught school in Macon and eventually went on to earn an M.A. in English at Atlanta University. In 1949 she took a faculty position at Alabama State College in Mont- gomery. There she joined the Women's Political Council. When a Montgomery bus driver insulted her, she vowed to end racial seating on the city's buses. Using her position as president of the Council, she mounted a boycott. She remained active in the civil rights movement in Montgomery until she left that city in 1960. Her story illustrates how the desire on the part of individuals to resist oppression — once *it is organized, led, and aimed at a specific goal — can be transformed into a mass movement. Mrs. T. M. Glass Ch. 2: The Boycott Begins n Friday morning, December 2, 1955, a goodly number of Mont- gomery’s black clergymen happened to be meeting at the Hilliard O Chapel A.

  • Parks, Rosa (4 Feb
    Parks, Rosa (4 Feb. 1913-24 Oct. 2005), civil rights activist, was born Rosa McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama, the daughter of James McCauley, a carpenter and stonemason, and Leona Edwards, a schoolteacher. Leona McCauley was a widely respected woman in her community. James McCauley was a native of Abbeville, Alabama. Two years after Rosa's birth, Leona McCauley separated from her husband and returned to her hometown of Pine Level, Alabama. Rosa would see her father just once more before she reached adulthood. From her mother, Rosa learned the value of self-respect, self-love, and honorable behavior toward others. Religion was also at the center of Rosa's world. Soon after her baptism at age two, Rosa became a lifelong member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She found much comfort and perspective in biblical study and prayer. Young Rosa received her early education in a rural schoolhouse in Pine Level. Later, at the strong urging of her mother, she attended Montgomery Industrial School for Girls and subsequently completed the tenth and eleventh grades at Alabama State Teachers' College for Negroes. At the end of 1932 nineteen-year-old Rosa married the self-educated Raymond Parks. With his encouragement, Rosa finally earned her high school diploma. An avid reader, Raymond Parks exposed Rosa to civil rights activism as early as 1931, when he began organizing a legal defense fund for the Scottsboro boys, nine young African American males accused of raping two white women on a freight train. Rosa Parks attended some of these meetings with her husband. Parks worked a number of jobs.

    REBELLIOUS WOMEN IN THE BLACK FREEDOM STRUGGLE Monica Maria Tetzlaff Jeanne Theoharis. The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks. Boston: Beacon Press, 2013. xvi + 320 pp. Photographs, notes, and index. $27.95. Barbara Ransby. Eslanda: The Large and Unconventional Life of Mrs. Paul Robeson. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2013. xiii + 373 pp. Photographs, chronol- ogy, notes, bibliography, and index. $35.00. From Montgomery, Alabama, to the United Nations, women activists promoted the black freedom struggle in the mid-twentieth century, and scholarly biog- raphies of their impact have been emerging since around 2000.1 Two recent biographies of Rosa Parks and Eslanda Robeson break new ground in deep- ening our understanding of gender and the “long history” and international scope of the Civil Rights Movement. While it will come as no shock that Eslanda Robeson, activist journalist and anthropologist, was a radical like her husband, Paul Robeson, The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks may surprise some readers. Both women had associa- tions with the Civil Rights Movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., black nationalism, the peace movement, and the left wing of the union movement. Their biographers, Barbara Ransby and Jeanne Theoharis, are both noted civil rights historians who have argued for the “long civil rights movement” and have placed women at the center, rather than the margins of their analysis. The result is a rich, gendered view of the long civil rights movement and an examination of the way we view black women activists in our culture. Some of the most important analysis in Theoharis’ The Rebellious Life, is her examination of Rosa Parks as a symbol and her critique of that symbolism.

Thousands more packed her seven-hour funeral celebration at the Greater Grace Temple of Detroit and waited outside to see a horse- drawn carriage carry Mrs. Parks’s coffin to the cemetery.2 Yet what is com- monly known—and much of what was widely eulogized—about Parks is a troubling distortion of what actually makes her fitting for such a national tribute.

It was an omnipresent system, all too familiar to those at or near the bottom of its hierarchal scale. Clearly in the South, at its foundation was a deleterious obsession with black submissiveness based on nostalgia for the antebellum South. In addition to being symptomatic of a stifling tradition of bigotry and social injustice throughout the South, it was a caste system intent on keeping Black citizens throughout the nation in a “social, political, and economic cellar” (Williams and Greenhaw 125).
