The Scottsboro Boys story begins with a lady at a bus stop. Nothing is happened, just waiting there for the bus to arrive, but when her mind begins to wonder, the scene fades away and she is transported back to the 1930s, where the audience begins to witness the story of The Scottsboro Boys, a band of boys standing around together at a train station. After a while of doing nothing and minding their own business, these "Alabama Ladies" run by and, to avoid being caught by authorities, they quickly accuse the African American boys of rape. The story goes on to show how they refused to acknowledge this false crime and, as a result, they were all thrown into prison for more than 3 decades, even to death for a few of them. The scene, after a long ordeal, fades back to the lady at the bus stop, who then walks onto the now present bus and refuses to sit in the back of the bus for the convenience of a white man. Rosa Parks officially enters the scene.
This timeless classic will move your heart in ways that will totally satisfy you. Tears will come, passion will arise, and the legendary influence that motivated Rosa Parks herself will motivate you as well to fight for and bring back to this world a sense of equality and mutual honor and respect among our many diverse races.
