AIaban1ian Reviews Scenes
In Recent Negro Bus Strike

AS you perhaps know Mont
gomery, Alabama has been
the scene of a recent bus
strike by Negroes. We were
happy to have Mr.. George
Schley, resident of that CT
ty, visit the Tribune Office
this week. Mr.. Schley, whose
visit to the city was occas-
stoned by the passing of his
sister-in-law, the late Mrs.
Daisy Schley, is one of the
active leaders of the strike
movement. He is president
of the state Federation of La
Dor, and Instructor to Brick
Mason Apprentices there. He
is actively engaged in civic
and social betterment and is
one of the leaders in this
movement. Because he is on
the inside of the "Strike"
we relate to you the facts as
he told them to us.
Mrs. Parks, Negro wo-
man, was seated on a capaci-
ty filled bus in Montgomery.
Alabama, when the driver
stopped the bus, came back to
her, and requested that she
give up her seat to a white
passenger. This, Mrs. Parks
refused to do, and this refus-
al caused her to be arrested
and fined for disorderly con-
duct. That happened on Fri
day, December End. On Sat-
urday evening mass meeting
was called. The church was
over run with interested
people.
Rev. M. L. King, pastor of
Dexter Avenue Baptis t
Church was appointed leader
of the movement. Following
the story of Mrs. Parks, and a
discussion of the prevailing
practices, such as Negroes
having to relinquish their
seats to any white passenger
who later took the bus, resolu-
lions were passed in which
The Tribune. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1951-19??, 1956-02-25

the Negroes made several re-
quests of the city of Mont
gomery and the Transit Com
pany. They requested first,
that first come-firSt serve"
policy be adopted with the
concession, that whites be
seated from the front, and
Negroes, from the rear, but
that no person be subjected
to the humiliation of having
to get up for another. Second
ly, that Negro bus drivers be
hired for the bus routes which
were predominantly Negro.
Third, that the drivers be re-
CURED to be as courteous to
Negro passengers as to white
ones.
The following day, which
was Sunday, found all the
Negro ministers announcing
the plans for a wholesale boy
colt of the bus service in that
city. Negroes pledged their
support, and Monday morn
ing approximately. SO per
cent of the $4,000 Negroes
walked to work that day.
To facilitate the boycott,
a transportation committee
was set up. Funds collected
from churches, organizations,
and many well-wishers of the
other group, enabled the COM
mittee to pay for gas used
by voluntary car donors, who
willingly gave of themselves
and facilities for the cause.
These people,. $4,000 OF
them, have been walking OF
hitch-hiking to work since
December 5th and are liking
it.
On the first morning of the
boycott police cars trailed
every bus expecting, and per-
haps anticipating troub | e,
however, there was none. AS

ing a passive but persistent
battle. Our instruments are
