64: We Are People 2

Virginia Durr and the Montgomery Bus Boycott

The hosts delve into the background of Virginia Durr, a white Southern aristocrat who was a key figure behind the Montgomery bus boycott. Durr's family owned a 35,000-acre plantation, and Rosa Parks worked for her as a seamstress. The segment explores how Durr's "re-education" led her to the civil rights movement, though her involvement is framed within the context of her high-society connections.
