Incarceration at the Montgomery City Jail
The Rosa Parks Papers include autobiographical writings, notebooks, notes, and interviews documenting Parks's defiant stand and the drama of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Rosa Parks begins these notes by describing her arrest by two white policemen. She recounts the emotional pain she felt during her brief incarceration at the Montgomery city jail. Finally, she considers the broader impact "of what the criminal Jim Crow had done to one life multiplied millions of times over these United States and the world." |
