A group of black women, known as the Women’s Political Council wrote a letter to the Black folks in their community telling them to boycott riding the buses. This physical letter is written proof of Black women advocating and logically trying to come up with strategies in order to advocate for Black America. Since the Black people were the majority of passengers on the buses, by boycotting the buses, the women knew that companies would be upset given the fact that they would be getting low income. As a way for the companies treating Black folks poorly, boycotting would encourage the white drivers to possibly ease up on the negativity towards blacks, since they clearly need the money. This letter that they wrote is clearly very urgent. Especially because the women advised students not to attend school for entire day.
