Although not as well-known as Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King, Jr., Jo Ann Robinson (1912-1992) was perhaps the individual most instrumental in planning and publicizing the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, proposing the idea more than a year before it was implemented. Robinson was also active in the Montgomery Improvement Association and the Women's Political Council and was an English professor at Alabama State College, which is now known as Alabama State University. #JoAnnRobinson #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackGirlMagic #BlackBoyJoy #Black365 #BlackExcellence #Black #BlackHistory #BlackHistory365 #BlackExcellence365 #Trailblazers #BecauseOfThemWeCan https://www.instagram.com/p/CoV88XVu1Oh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Seems like a good day to remember Rosa Parks. In 1955, the NAACP organizers Rosa Parks and Jo Ann Robinson started the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which won the right for black people to sit with white people on the city bus.
