Maybe I just don't remember it, but did the movie mention that it was the Women's Political Council that first organized the boycott? It did a good job of showing how the boycott influenced women's lives, but I'm not sure it gave black women organizers like Jo Ann Robinson enough credit for the work they did behind the scenes in making so much of the movement happen. -Mary Ann | Maybe I just don't remember it, but did the movie mention that it was the Women's Political Council that first organized the boycott?

| + | I agree with Mary Ann. I definitely would have liked to have seen the women who helped to organize the boycott. Also, I think that showing more about how complex and organized the carpools were would have been really interesting. They did touch on that a little bit when Miriam asks if it is more complicated than just showing up, but I think that showing how tight knit the community was in providing help and rides to those in the boycott would have been very powerful. --Meagan P. | ||
