The Reuters story is pretty good, though they ignore some important players in Montgomery and still play up the "Rosa Parks started it all" story line. She was an incredibly brave woman, but I much prefer the NPR story on Morning Edition today (should be available online in a few hours), which mentions the women's political caucus in Montgomery and Parks' prior involvement in civil rights. The only key player NPR forgot to mention was E.D. Nixon.

Any thoughts on this case? (I'll understand if you prefer to withold comment.)
