Indicted In Boycott Case Shocks Montgomery
Montgomery authorities indicted 115 people for participating in the 11 week boycott of city buses. Rev. Ralph D. Abernathey and Rev. R. Tessas Glasco, both prominent Negro Baptist leaders, were among the first defendants. Aaron Hoffman was also arrested. The charges stem from violating Alabama anti boycott laws and a conspiracy to boycott under a lesser statute. The grand jury warned that violence could erupt if unrest continues. Rosa Parks’s recent defiance is noted as the broader spark.
