New book: Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat was a pre-planned event staged by the NAACP

“The NAACP not only staged events. it scripted them…One example is Rosa Parks. Over decades, Black History Month has taught millions of schoolchildren to think of her as a ‘tired seamstress,’ whose need to rest her weary legs in the white section of a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus unleashed a storm of spontaneous protests. But she was considerably more than that. Five months before the Montgomery bus boycott began, she attended the Highlander Folk School in New Market, Tennessee, an academy that the Congress of Industrial Organizations had set up for training social agitators. She was an organizer of considerable sophistication, one of the intellectual leaders of the Montgomery NAACP chapter.
