Was it the boycott in Montgomery, Alabama that led to the end of segregated buses? It played a part, but the real gangstas of Black History were the Black women who stood up to the injustice and racism in Alabama. Wypipologist Michael Harriot reminds us it wasn't just Rosa Parks who led the battle of the buses.

"According to these unwritten rules, white people never sat behind Black people."
