A propos de cet article

Signed Copy of Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story, first edition. Inscribed to Charlotte Rosenbaum. New York: Harper and Row, 1958. 224 pp. Octavo. Original dust jacket bearing Kings portrait. Blue and black cloth. "To Miss Charlotte Rosenbaum: In appreciation for your genuine humanitarian concern, and your great financial and moral support in the struggle to realize the American dream-Martin Luther King, Jr." Ex: The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American HistoryHistorical BackgroundThe city of Montgomery, Alabama, developed a system of segregation in which the ten front seats on all city buses were reserved for white people at all times. The ten back seats were reserved for African Americans, and the sixteen seats in the middle were used on a segregated basis depending on the race of the riders. If no seats were available for black riders, they had to stand (even if the white seat rows were empty), and it was illegal for black and white people to sit next to each other in the same row.On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a seamstress and secretary for the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) refused to give up her middle section seat for a white man. City police arrested Parks for failing to obey the driver, and she was found guilty and fined $10 plus $4 in court costs. She appealed. Local NAACP president E. D. Nixon intended to use her case to challenge the city's segregation of public buses. A group of ministers met at the church pastored by Martin Luther King Jr. and organized the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), eventually selecting King to lead the boycott.The MIA demanded courteous treatment by bus drivers, passengers seated on a first-come, first-served basis with black people in the back half and white people in the front half of each bus, and the employment of black drivers on routes predominantly used by black riders.The boycott proved very effective as African Americans organized carpools, and black taxi drivers charged the same fare as the buses to support the boycott. White Citizens' Councils firebombed King's house and four black Baptist churches. King was arrested for conspiring to interfere with a business, and spent two weeks in jail, but his arrest drew national attention to the protest, and pressure increased across the country.The federal district court ruled in June 1956 that Alabama's racial segregation laws for buses were unconstitutional, but the state appealed the decision, and the boycott continued. On November 13, 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the district court's ruling, and the bus boycott officially ended on December 20, 1956, after 382 days.Charlotte Rosenbaumwas a notable benefactor for numerous philanthropic causes, establishing funds for the support of mentally ill patients at numerous health clinics and donating to the A.C.L.U., the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense Fund, among others (Chicago Sun Times, Tuesday, June 25, 1974). The date "11-22-61" is inscribed in another hand, likely Rosenbaum's, in blue ink on the dedication page.Condition: Lightly toned at gutter. Dust jacket with some minor tears and wear at upper and lower margins. Minor bumps at corners.…
