【 摘 要 】

The Reverend Robert S. Graetz Jr. has a relatively unknown story about his involvement in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Few remember his name, even though he was the white minister to the all African American congregation of Trinity Lutheran Church. Instead of taking a back seat to the fight for Civil Rights, Rev. Graetz dove head first; driving boycotters to their jobs, attending the mass meetings, and joining the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) among many other groups. Rev. Graetz helped lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott with his faith in God and strong convictions of helping those in need to carry him forward.
