re: #381 BlackPearl

My understanding was that Rosa Parks’ choice was carefully planned and scheduled. She was chosen to do the action because she was a sympathetic character, and the timing was set so the bus strikes boycotts could kick in immediately.

Now off to see if I have citations for that…

You are pretty much correct, but *citations needed*. Lack of spontainaity does not equal lack of sincerety. Somewhat the opposite, maybe. Plan for the resistance! Why did we have community organizers, anyway!?!
