The US Civil Rights Movement

Been on a reading binge of the Civil Rights Movement the last couple of days. It's interesting to realize that the Montgomery Bus Boycott wasn't just a random chance event caused by the refusal of Rosa Parks to give her seat, but that it was carefully and deliberately planned by the NAACP. They had planned a boycott for a while, but just needed the right person to mobilize the black community and test the segregation laws.
