'Letter from Jo Ann Robinson to Montgomery Mayor W. A. Gayle, May 21st, 1954'

#HST3107

On May 21st, 1954, Jo Ann Robinson wrote to Mayor W. A. Gayle in her capacity as leader of the Women's Political Council of Montgomery. Robinson politely requested a redress of grievances, but stopped short of asking for the complete desegregation of the bus system (despite the letter coming only days following Brown v Board of Education).
