When I was reading about bus boycott, I was wondering if it actually happened, and whether or not Dubula was a real person. I did a little research, and it turns out that Dubula is just a a character, not a real person, and that the events are fictional. But, there was a bus boycott similar to the one described in the book, that actually did happen. Here is a link to information about the boycott...

Wow, it says 70,000 people refused to ride the bus!
ReplyDeleteBut the real question is, if you were in that situation would you have been one of the ones to refuse to ride the bus? I'm not really sure, as i would probably have been scared of punishment, but at the same time wanted my freedom. So idk on this one.
