I think this is a great story about the civil rights movement because he was not doing this for fame or recognition but instead he was doing it because he genuinely thought the black community deserved transportation. In a time where it was extremely difficult if not impossible for black men and women to receive transportation without being ridiculed he stepped in and made an effort to change that. He saw something that he disagreed with and instead of sitting there and moping about it he got up and made a difference. Its sad to to know that his story will most likely never be known by the masses but for those who know what he did or not he played an important role in changing history for the better.
