Walking For Freedom is an illustrated novel that recounts how the Montgomery, Alabama black community organized and participated in the 1955 bus boycott which ended segregation on public buses.
On December 1, 1955, when a tired Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, the police were called and she was arrested. In a show of unity and support for Mrs. Parks, the African American community of Montgomery launched a boycott of city buses. Together they organized a peaceful protest to challenge the unfair segregation laws in America. After 381 days of taking taxis, carpooling, and walking the hostile streets of Montgomery, African Americans eventually won their fight to desegregate seating on public buses, not only in Montgomery, but throughout the United States.
Alex Haley, as General Editor, wrote the introduction.
