Unpublished Black History in Honor of Black History Month Hundreds of stunning images from black history, drawn from old negatives, have long been buried in the musty envelopes and crowded bins of the New York Times archives. None of them were published by The Times until now. The Quiet Courage of Rosa Parks It is impossible to know what she might have been thinking that March day in 1956 outside the Montgomery County courthouse. The prim woman in the photograph, gripping her handbag with white-gloved hands, wore a neat overcoat and an uneasy expression behind her wire-rimmed eyeglasses. There was no caption information to identify the woman as Rosa Parks in the unpublished image found in a sack of negatives in our archives, and no mention of the men surrounding her outside the courthouse that day. Mrs. Parks was at the courthouse for the trial of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was charged with violating an anti-boycott law. The boycott at issue followed her arrest on Dec. 1, 1955, for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a crowded city bus. That act of civil defiance by Mrs. Parks, a 42-year-old seamstress heading home at the end of her shift in the tailoring department of the Montgomery Fair department store, helped galvanize the year-long boycott of the city’s bus system. It was a bold decision by a strong yet weary woman — and a spark that ignited the civil rights movement. At the courthouse that day, though, Mrs. Parks was not the story. It was the account of Dr. King’s trial for an illegal act of civil disobedience — the boycott — that became the focus of the New York Times article, which ran without a photo, on Page 20 on March 22, 1956.
