Amendment

Amendment to my previous post - Montgomery Bus Boycott was not ended because of the money being lost by the transportation system because African-Americans were not riding but by court order. However the leaders of the boycott did understand the power of the purse, it was the boycott (a year long btw) that started a chain reaction to the way things had been done in Montgomery, Alabama. It ignited the civil rights movement!
Read all about it here - http://www.montgomeryboycott.com/ - makes you amazed at the strength of people, in the face of such oppression and anger, how they kept on fighting for what was right. Hopefully our generation can be half as courageous.
