Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich has proclaimed December 1 as Rosa Parks Day in Montgomery County.

On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger and was arrested, which led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a key event in the civil rights movement. The boycott lasted from December 5, 1955, to December 20, 1956.


Today in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD, the honorable Judge Jill Cummins sentenced defendant Jonathan David Robbins to 40 years in prison suspend all but 12 and 5 years supervised probation upon release.

A hearing to discuss restitution was scheduled for Feb. 18th, 2022.
