Nixon called Rosa Parks, a quiet, forty-two-year-old seamstress who was secretary of the Montgomery NAACP. She led the NAACP's youth group and had tried to organize young blacks to struggle for civil rights. Her meetings were poorly attended until Claudette got involved. Claudette met Rosa Parks and it turned out they were well connected.
