Thirteen Months: Courage and Commitment from Montgomery to Ferguson.
Episode One, “History had me glued to the seat.”

We will hear from the leaders and foot soldiers of the 13-month Montgomery Bus Boycott, and talk to today’s civil rights leaders about the lessons they take from history. We will unearth and examine the strategies of the movement then and now.

In this episode, Claudette Colvin recounts her arrest on March 2, 1955–nine months before Rosa Parks–for refusing to give up her bus seat. And Khalil Gibran Muhammad puts her story in the context of today.

Thirteen Months is a production of March On.
