Berkeley Voices

79: The Montgomery bus boycott and the women who made it possible (revisiting)


Listen Later

While Fiat Vox is on summer break, we have been revisiting some of our favorite episodes. Today's episode, originally released in February 2020, is about how the 1955-56 bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, which lasted for more than a year, was led by a group of Black women activists working behind the scenes: the Women's Political Council. In June, this episode received a gold award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), as part of the 2021 CASE Circle of Excellence Awards. Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News: https://news.berkeley.edu/2021/06/25/montgomery-bus-boycott-revisiting/
