Assignment– Document Analysis
For this assignment, students will evaluate two accounts of the Montgomery Bus Boycott: the comic book Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story; and the relevant section of Rosa Parks’ autobiography.
In practical terms, this entails both a comparative examination of the details of both accounts and a consideration of the wider context, in Montgomery and elsewhere.
The assignment requires you to evaluate the account of the bus boycott found in the comic, using the excerpt from Rosa Parks’s autobiography and the research by historians McGuire and Cobb. This means noting the similarities and differences in these accounts.
Benton Resnick & Alfred Hassler (w), Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story, Fellowship of Reconciliation, 1957.
