This is the closed captioned / subtitled version video from http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eyesontheprize/story/02_bus.html. (c) PBS

A 43-year-old civil rights activist, Rosa Parks, refuses to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, and is arrested. Parks' arrest inspires black leaders to mount a one-day bus boycott. With the help of Jo Ann Robinson of the Women's Political Council, 40,000 people are organized in just two days.

  • Everyone, not just black folks, needs to boycott these money-hungry people in the media who are trying to take our freedoms online away from us. Let a few of those so-called blockbuster movies or CDs come out and no one buys it, and they'll know it's a real revolution. Hit em in the pockets people and keep your wallets in your pockets in 2012!!!

    Just look at the blacks in this video. I see proud and decent working people. The way they dress and carry themselves. They aren't rick well off, hell they can't even afford a car.

    When I pass a hood I don't see that. I just don't. Until they actually start to address the problems in the black community, they will not be able to organize

  • Boycott RBFCU! Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union believes in segregation and discrimination! Take your monies out of Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union.
