From 1955 to 1956, black Americans in Montgomery, Alabama, boycotted the bus as a message against the city's racially segregated public transportation laws. Artist Charles Henry Alston was influenced by this moment in history and created his painting Walking in 1958. Instead of depicting key figures from the civil rights era, like Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks, Alston chose to represent human beings without distinction. formed as they marched each day to protest segregated buses. Although the era's central leaders played a vital role in media coverage of the movement, it was ordinary adults and children who built the backbone of the civil rights era. Alston’s painting celebrates and remembers their tremendous efforts and electrifying spirit.
