‘The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) was born from a citizens’ movement. The organization, created in 1955 amidst crisis, following the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white man, catapulted the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to the forefront of the national struggle for civil rights. The MIA introduced a new era of grass-roots civil disobedience and mass resistance that would shape the Modern Civil Rights Movement in days and years to come.’
