Dec. 1, 2005, marks the 50th anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. We at the Rosa Parks Museum are excited that Aliza’s Cookies, a Black-owned business in Montgomery, has created a very imaginative way to help all of us remember this seminal event in Civil Rights history with “Cookies of Courage,” the Montgomery Bus Cookie Box.

Cookies of Courage feature flavorful bags of Aliza’s delicious cookies with four flavors from which to choose. But this is much more than just a box of cookies; it is an exciting educational tool – offering a bite of history with your cookies. The box provides a comprehensive summary of major events occurring during this historic boycott.

The bus, symbolizing the beginning of the modern Civil Rights Movement, tells the story of the boycott with a timeline on its top and a comprehensive timeline of the struggle of African Americans for Civil Rights.

Cookies of Courage make a great fundraiser. Schools, museums, organizations, churches, fraternities, sororities and community groups can use them to raise funds while educating our youth about this seminal event in Black history that changed the course of the world. Please consider choosing this inventive approach as one of your tools to commemorate the great Montgomery Bus Boycott.
