It’s December 20th. On this day in 1956, the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott ended after 381 days.

Jody and Niki are joined by Christina Greer of Fordham University to discuss what brought the boycott to an end, and the hard work that took place on the ground to maintain pressure and de-segregate the public bus system.

Christina Greer is a co-host of “FAQNYC” and her new podcast with The Griot is “What’s In It For Us.”
