THE ARREST OF ROSA PARKS: WHO IS TO BLAME?

Who’s to blame for the arrest of Rosa Parks?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the cultural impact of the Montgomery Bus Boycott which was prompted by the arrest of civil rights icon Rosa Parks on December 1st, 1955. What started as a one day protest turned into 381 days of action. Though it was met with extreme violence, the boycott was hugely successful and resulted in a landmark legal ruling on bus segregation all the way from the Supreme Court the following year. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation. Up on the board: Jim Crow Laws, The City Officials of Montgomery and Culture of Hate.
