Was the Montgomery bus strike a very carefully planned supported strike? It has been said that you were a man set up as a figurehead but that this was really organized outside of Montgomery. What is your reaction?

A. I don’t know a greater indigenous movement ever taken place in America.There was nothing in terms of outsiders—first it was the NAACP, then it was the Communists. You hear this type of thing in the South. The only think I can say is that it was a spontaneous movement developed by the Montgomery people who were tired of the indignities, etc. that they had suffered for many years on the buses. It was organized by the people of Montgomery, the leaders. It was a spontaneous response to to an incident which was the arrest of Mrs. Rosie. This was merely the precipitating faco factor in not the causal factor. That lies deep down in the past, a long accumulation of humiliating experiences
