Read the excerpt from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.
Early Friday morning, some students helped Robinson load leaflets into her car. She taught her classes from 8 A.M. to 10 A.M., then, accompanied by two senior students, set out to distribute the notices. Other Women’s Council members were fanning out across town, doing the same thing. They stopped at black elementary, junior high, and high schools, where students were waiting to distribute the handbills in school so they could be taken home to parents. Leaflets were also dropped off at churches, stores, taverns, beauty parlors, barber shops, and every other available place. By the time the city’s black ministers and civic leaders were ready to meet on Friday evening, thousands of anonymous notices had been circulated in Montgomery’s black neighborhoods.
