The Toni Morrison Society's Bench by the Road venture chose Baton Rouge as a site for the Boycott because of the level of social injustice there. The event economically affected the city's transportation framework and on the more extensive Civil Rights Movement. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. talked with Rev. Jemison about the battle for social equity in Baton Rouge
