This comic chronicles the Montgomery Bus Boycott, depicting how approximately 50,000 African Americans organized a nonviolent protest beginning December 5, 1955, walking instead of riding segregated buses. The narrative details the boycotters' determination despite police harassment and traffic citations, their creation of an alternative transportation system with station wagons, and the violent opposition they faced, including KKK parades and bombing of churches and homes. The story emphasizes Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence, with teachings on how to respond to hatred with love and how showing human dignity and love to one's oppressor can undermine their capacity to hate, ultimately contributing to the movement's moral victory on December 21, 1956.
