Rosa Parks attended a mass meeting at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church
Time: Sunday Nov 27, 1955
Place: Montgomery, Alabama, U.S.
Details: In August 1955, black teenager Emmett Till was brutally murdered after reportedly flirting with a young white woman while visiting relatives in Mississippi. On November 27, 1955, four days before she would make her stand on the bus, Rosa Parks attended a mass meeting at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery that addressed this case as well as the recent murders of the activists George W. Lee and Lamar Smith. The featured speaker was T. R. M. Howard, a black civil rights leader from Mississippi who headed the Regional Council of Negro Leadership.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
