Abstract
The author reflects on the enduring lessons of the Montgomery bus boycott and how Black resistance offers a model for today's social justice movements. Topics include the historical context of Black patriotism and systemic oppression, the strategic elements that made the boycott effective—such as clear demands and sustained collective action—and the essential role of sacrifice and Black women's leadership in shaping successful resistance movements.
