Jo Ann Robinson

Jo Ann Robinson was a black woman in Montgomery, Alabama who formed the Women's Political Council in 1946. In 1949 she was verbally attacked by a bus driver and she decided that something had to change. Shortly after Rosa Parks was arrested, Robinson and the NAACP organized a one-day bus boycott in Montgomery, on December 5, 1955. She sent out flyers to many black people in the community telling them not to ride the bus. The boycott ended up lasting over a year because the bus company would not give in to any of their demands for rights.
