Must be a group member before inviting friends
It was Thursday, December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, and she had just finished a long day at Montgomery Fair, the department store where she worked as a seamstress. The bus was crowded and, by law, the first four rows were reserved for white passengers. The area where blacks were allowed to sit, in the back, was already full and so the woman—Rosa Parks—sat in a center row, right behind the white section, where either race could claim a seat.
For a short time, I thought I would spend my career studying and writing about the Civil Rights movement. Instead, I’m writing about kind of the same thing, but in a different way. At the core of this book is a central question: how does change happen? Why do some people change themselves and their communities and the world, while others never shift how they behave? (That said, I still love learning about and writing about civil rights, hence this chapter.)
