@Teri_Kanefield Possibly also because it was one of several such examples that got bundled into Brown vs Board?
Also, it sounds like it was spontaneous and didn't have the prepared media strategy that Rosa Parks had. It's not like Parks was the first black woman or black person to refuse to sit in the assigned spot – she was just the first one to do it as part of an organised campaign.
But it's good to see people like Johns getting that recognition now. It's the often silent, often overlooked protests that shift momentum.

@twasink @Teri_Kanefield Koch Network has been doing all it can to overturn Brown vs Board for decades. Inequality of education access is their ticket to a Caste & Class system like India & the UK. Billionaires hate the idea of universal public services. In their view, the purpose of government is the preservation of their wealth, power, & control. Jim Crow does that. It's a dangerous idea to realize "We don't have to live this way"; dangerous to the Bigots & Billionaires axis alliance.
