I recently had the pleasure of listening to famed civil rights attorney Fred Gray explain how the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott was formed.
Gray recalled a meeting at the home of Jo Ann Robinson, an educator and activist in Montgomery, Ala., on the evening of Dec. 8, 1955.
One week earlier, Rosa Parks had been arrested for having violated the city’s segregation bus laws. In addition to Gray, who represented Parks, local NAACP leader Edgar Daniel (E.D.) Nixon was among the attendees.
The initial plan was for a one-day boycott of the Montgomery buses that was held on Dec. 5. But the success of the one-day boycott prompted the group to think beyond their initial 24-hour prohibition. They formed the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). ....

How does one know in real time a hero is in our midst?  By hero I m not referring to an exemplar of physical courage, which is generally easy to recognize; I m referring to one who personifies moral courage.  There s no sure way in the case of the latter, in real time.
The only sure way is to await the passage of time for the judgment of history to see if a statue or other concrete marker praising him or her for past acts is erected, which happens almost always after he or she has gone on to a heavenly or other reward when it is too late to do the exemplar any good.  Look how long it took Montgomery to recognize white Bus Boycott heroes Bob and Jeannie Graetz. ....
