bus as African Americans were required to do in Alabama. Her courage started the
Montgomery bus boycott, which marked a great stride forward for human rights and
integration. Past recipients of the award include Moscow High School teacher,
Lee Anne Eareckson, Peace Coalition Leader, Rev. Dean Stewart, and Connie and
Toney Driver, founders of the Finding the Center conferences. </FONT></P>
