Jeannie And Rev. Robert Graetz

     It was hard to find white support for the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955.
     Rev. and Mrs. Robert Graetz were notable exceptions. 
     They moved to Montgomery when Rev. Graetz was named pastor of the predominantly black Trinity Lutheran Church, just as the Age of American Civil Rights was about to explode in Alabama's Capitol City. 

People will say to us, “We really appreciate what you did,” and our response always is it wasn’t just us. It was 50,000 black people who stood together, who walked together, who worked together, who stood up against oppression. If it had not been for this whole body of people working together, this would not have happened.

     On Wednesday, November 4th, they will take part in a discussion about the past, present, and future of mass transportation in Montgomery. I'll moderate the discussion.
