I get number six bus that afternoon, which goes from Belhaven to Farish Street. The bus today is nothing but maids heading home in our white uniforms. We all
chatting and smiling at each other like we own it—not cause we mind if they’s white people on here, we sit anywhere we want to now thanks to Miss Parks—just
cause it’s a friendly feeling

The quotation above is the statement of Aibileen. Black people have to sit in the back seat. The first seats of every bus are reserved for white passengers, and the blacks can not sit
in them, ever, even if there is no white person on the bus at the time. The back seats on the bus are for the blacks and if there are no white seats left and the whites needed a seat the
blacks are force to get up and stand. Some of the bus drivers has a practice; they would make the blacks pay at the front and then he will make them get off the bus and get on at the back
of the bus. Some of the bus drivers will take off with out the blacks after they had paid their money at the front of the bus as they are trying to get on the back ofthe bus.

Parks and others organized the Montgomery bus boycott: For a little more than a year, we

stayed off those busses. We did not return to using public transportation until the Supreme Court said there shouldnt be racial segregation Brinkley, 2000
