The Women's Political Council (WPC) was a group of African American women in Montgomery, Alabama who played a pivotal role in organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The WPC had been advocating for improved conditions on the buses for years, and after the arrest of Rosa Parks in December 1955, they mobilized the African American community to boycott the buses until they were desegregated. The leadership of Jo Ann Robinson and other women in the WPC was critical to the success of the boycott and helped to launch the larger Civil Rights Movement.
