		As president of the Women’s Political Council (WPC) and a board member of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), Jo Ann Robinson was instrumental in creating and sustaining the Montgomery bus boycott, the nonviolent protest that brought national attention to Martin Luther King, Jr.
		Robinson soon learned that similar abuses were a common experience among the fl citizens of Montgomery; and when she became president of the WPC in early 1950s, she decided to make the city’s segregated bus seating one of the council’s top priorities.
		Robinson, whose position as a state employee precluded a more visible leadership role, served on the MIA executive board and actively worked behind the scenes to sustain the boycott.

	King Chronologies
		As president in the early 1950s of the Women's Political Council (WPC) of Montgomery, Alabama, Jo Ann Robinson was one of several crucial initiators of the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-56.
		Robinson was an influential and leading figure both during the two years of Black civic activism leading up to the boycott and as a major player in the significant events that transformed the arrest of Rosa Parks into a communitywide protest movement.
		Jo Ann Gibson was born near Culloden, Georgia, on April 17, 1912, the youngest of twelve children.

		At the same time, Jo Ann Robinson was the key figure in the development of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and her name is recognized by a minority of people in this country.
		But Jo Ann Robinson from the early '50s on began to protest seating practices and the conduct of drivers, and began to submit these protests to the Montgomery city commission.
		I mention Jo Ann Robinson not only because it is important to remember her name, and to remember her courage and her dedication and her willingness to remain in the background, but also because I believe that there are potentially so many Jo Ann Robinsons among us today.

		Robinson (English, Alabama State Coll.), a founding member of the Women's Political Council (WPC) of Montgomery, shows clearly that the initial idea for boycotting buses in that city came from the WPC.
		One only wishes that Robinson had spent more time recounting her life before and after the boycott and less on retelling the well-known story of the tribulations and ultimate success of Martin Luther King, Jr.
		Robinson's book is truly a memoir, and I find this to be both a strength and a weakness.

		We are interested, he continued, "in those who offer alternatives, who seem to be in the margins of history but nevertheless have a far firmer grasp on what really matters than those who embody a flashy, meretricious, and very often transient success.
		This change is based on a profound disillusion with what the state can do." Jo Ann Robinson identifies Abraham Johannes Muste, the subject of her definitive biography, as such a loser and adds: "Exactly such an outlook informs the writing of this book."
		Robinson writes: "In the course of those years, Muste worked devotedly for the causes of racial equality, economic justice, free speech, and political liberty.
