The Montgomery Bus Boycott catapulted the young Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to leadership in the civil rights movement. History and fate linked him to Rosa Parks and to local civil rights advocates the Gray brothers — attorney Fred Gray and activist Thomas Gray.
Now, niece and daughter Karen Gray Houston profiles her family’s involvement in the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the movement that changed America.
“Daughter of the Boycott: Carrying on a Montgomery Family's Civil Rights Legacy” is our January selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.”
This was a labor of love for author Karen Gray Houston, a retired Washington, D.C. WTTG-TV reporter, who got her start in Boston working for United Press International.
