A ceremony held Monday celebrated people who contributed to the desegregation of public transit.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) celebrated Black transportation activists who fought to desegregate public transit and advance civil rights, report Jasmine Payoute and Scott Hezlep for CBS Philadelphia.
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.”
