Monday's Trivia Question
On Thursday, December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man, even though she was sitting in the black section. After her arrest, the local black community organized a one-day boycott of the city buses to take place on Monday, December 5, 1955. Following the initial success of the campaign, black leaders voted to continue the boycott. They formed a new organization and they named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as its president.
What was the name of the new organization and how old was Dr. King at the time he was chosen its president?
