Parks's arrest on December 1, 1955 for courageously refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus helped spark the 381-day long Montgomery Bus Boycott, of which Lucy and Alfonso were supporters and and among its early organizers. Alfonso served as co-chair of the Montgomery Improvement Association's Transportationmittee, and helped organize the vast network of carpools that circumvented the city's bus lines and sustained the boycott, and Lucy chronicled the events and participant's experiences.ProvenanceAlfonso L.
