" ”i think you ought to stop day dreaming, and turn out that light and get some sleep." as i began to think about the three women who had been arrested in ten months for violating the jim crow law on the buses, my mind turned back thirty years. . i remembered how, years ago, i had first asked myself. ”what can i do to bring freedom to the negro in alabama? ". . then all of a sudden, as i sat there on the edge of my bed, some ideas came to me: why not ask the people in montgomery to stand up and be counted? why not start a protest for mrs. parks? why not stay out of the buses? . . i felt that the negroes in montgomery were at last anxious to move, prepared to sacrifice and ready to endure whatever came. . i knew that a mass movement of 50,000 people required young, vigorous and well-educated leadership. i believed that if rev. [martin luther] king and rev. [ralph] abernathy could take over leadership of an improvement association, we could not fail. 16. what idea did e. d. nixon have after rosa parks was arrested?
