Rosa Parks: Tired After a Long Day’s Work
The mother of the U.S. civil rights movement, Rosa Parks, knew that someone eventually had to say "No, I’m not moving to the back of the bus." Turned out that she was that someone. With her refusal to give in, she helped launch the Montgomery bus boycott and changed American civil rights history.
Netscape and Microsoft remain locked in a bitter battle over Microsoft's linking of its Internet Explorer World Wide Web browser with its Windows operating system, taking customers away from Netscape's Navigator browser. Netscape hoped the new company would develop a variety of computer applications, including video game systems, televisions, and network computers that would use its cheaper technology rather than Microsoft applications.

Netscape Creates Navio to Compete with Microsoft

After the bombing of Pastor Graetz's home, Montgomery Mayor W. A. Gayle made baseless allegations that it was "an inside job" and “just a publicity stunt to build up interest of the Negroes in their campaign." No one was ever arrested, charged, or convicted for the attack.
At the time of the explosion, Pastor Graetz was attending an integration workshop in Tennessee. Fortunately, his wife and children were not at home and no one was injured in the blast. Earlier that year, in January, the Montgomery homes of local minister Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and E.D. Nixon, former president of the local NAACP, had also been bombed. Both men were active boycott leaders.
Pastor Graetz had been an outspoken supporter of the ongoing bus boycott since it began on December 5, 1955, and was known to regularly provide transportation to boycott participants traveling to and from work.
Pastor Graetz, a young white minister serving the city’s primarily African American Trinity Lutheran Church, was also a member of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). The MIA was the community group that had planned and guided the city’s bus boycott, waged to protest racially discriminatory treatment toward Black bus riders.
