The activists honored at an event on Monday included “Elizabeth Jennings Graham, whose work led to the eventual desegregation of all New York City transit systems, Rosa Parks, a civil rights icon best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott and John Mott Drew, an American entrepreneur who formed the John M. Drew Bus Line in Darby, Pennsylvania.”
