i was just reading paul's post today about rosa parks. he wondered whether a similar thing would work here in buffalo. a couple of weeks ago i heard on the radio that the black community wanted to boycott the transit because of brutality performed by the transit cops. but then i heard a guy who was interviewed say that it was too cold to walk. i think a lot of people must have agreed with him, even though this article says the boycott was successful. but who's going to say their event didn't go so well?
but maybe the boycott didn't work, cause not enough people didn't ride. but i think the weather's just an excuse for laziness.
p.s. there's lots of other articles on the web about it. search google or something
