During the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, things got ugly. It was a major risk for African Americans to join the protests. Indeed it was expected that black people would join the protests, but nobody really expected white people to join the protests.
Well, one did, and not only protested but also helped the cause. Her name was Sarah Herbert. She lived in Montgomery and decided to drive her car to transport black people. So she treated African Americans fairly in a time when injustice, inequity, and racial segregation were the name of the game for blacks.
The Montgomery Boycott started in December 1955 and ended in December 1956. The protest started after black woman Rosa Parks was arrested for denying her seat to a white person when riding the bus.
