Parks / Blake Duo, a photo from Tennessee, South

Photographer's Note

We are in the Montgomery Bus Boycott exhibit of National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. The Montgomery bus boycott was a political and social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation on the public transit system of Montgomery, Alabama. It was a seminal event in the civil rights movement. The campaign lasted from December 5, 1955 � the Monday after Rosa Parks, an African-American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person � to December 20, 1956, when the federal ruling Browder v. Gayle took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws that segregated buses were unconstitutional. Many important figures in the civil rights movement took part in the boycott, including the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. (From Wikipedia.)

In the right frame of the collage, the bus driver, James F. Blake is depicted saying, "Y'all better make it light on yourselves and let me have those seats." In the left frame, Rosa Parks is seated, replying to Blake𠏋 threat of having her arrested, 㛝ou may do that.�

The workshop has the full size versions of these two frames:
You May Do That
Y'all Better Make It Light...

Memphis, Tennessee鏆eki Ulusal Sivil Haklar M凴esi佋in Montgomery Otob媠 Boykotu sergisindeyiz. Montgomery otob媠� boykotu, Montgomery, Alabama佋ın toplu taşıma sistemindeki ırk ayrımcılığı politikasına karşı siyasi ve sosyal bir protesto kampanyasıydı. Sivil haklar hareketinde 霵emli bir olaydı. Kampanya, 5 Aralık 1955㦙en - Pazartesi g𤦂�, Afrikalı-Amerikalı bir kadın Rosa Parks�ın, oturduğu koltuğu beyaz bir kişiye teslim etmeyi reddettiği i蓾n tutuklandığı g𤦂𤦂 ertesinden - 20 Aralık 1956𠋀a, federal h悞悳 Browley Gayle𨬓 karşı verildiği ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Y悞sek Mahkemesi'nin Alabama ve Montgomery'nin ayrılmış otob媠lerin anayasaya aykırı olduğunu ilan ettiği kararına yol a蔂asına kadar s僡d�. Muhterem Martin Luther King Jr. dahil olmak 凴ere, insan hakları hareketindeki bir蔞k 霵emli kişi boykotta yer aldı. (Vikipedi鏆en)

Kolajın sağ 蔒r蔒vesinde, otob媠 şof顤� James F. Blake, 鐈epiniz daha iyi yapın ve bu koltukları alabilmeme izin verin� diyor. Sol 蔒r蔒vede, Rosa Parks oturuyor ve Blake'in tutuklanması tehdidine yanıtını veriyor, 幈nu yapabilirsin.�

Hello Murat,
A novel and original way of depicting this extraordinary moment in the history of American civil rights. Both images are very well realised with good colours and sharpness.

Hi Murat,this is very interesting! A piece of history about the racial segregationof public tranports in the past. It's very nice to see that there is something talks about that in a museum. A very useful post with a perfect collage and 2 closer view in the WS,i like it! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hello Murat,
Benny was here recently, and it's always interesting to see how two visitors can present such different photos. I wonder what the driver would have thought of being immortalized like this. After all, he was just doing his job, like the guards in the Nazi death camps. :-(
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Murat,
Two excellent photos of this event that we should not forget.
Much has improved in racial relations, but not nearly enough and that does not only apply to the USA.
The real conductor on the left photo gives an extra dimension to the image.
Excellent presentation
Have a good weekend, groet Rob
