Did you guys know that Rosa Parks’ husband had a car?

It was a maroon Cadi with gold trim and hubcaps and she loved riding in the backseat.

He wouldn’t let her sit in it either, fact!

Yes and the entire bus incident was planned. Another woman was the first a few weeks prior but they chose not to use her because she was a pregnant single mom… weirdly enough I recently discovered that this little piece of information is a major point of contention with some within the black community as many see the first woman as the real hero and Rosa and those who orchestrated as opportunists.

You didn't know that the whole thing was a setup

the law barring blacks from sitting in the front of the bus did exist It was fricked up

but the incident that Rosa Parks was involved in that whole thing was a setup

Yeah okay you're right I get that most don't know

It's just odd to me that when people want to come in and pontificate about things they don't educate themselves first

But to be fair to the OP he was just sharing something that he didn't know asking a question of others did it so I apologize for my elitist attitude

I'm an a-hole

Were you? Go find out as why should we do your work for you?

The whole thing was planned to the point where the original girl they wanted to use got pulled for being pregnant and unmarried

ETA: Grateful to be late with the answer for once. Seems like no one else knew this 10 years ago

I’ve never read any of this. Interesting.

the whole thing was a set up, it happened for real several weeks before and the black leaders at the time were not happy with it getting no play, so they looked for a lighter skinned black women they thought would be more acceptable to the whites, found Rosa, notified the press as to where and when to show up with their camera people, the rest is history.
