Common Criminals or Portraits of Dissent? Mug Shots from the Montgomery Bus Boycott 1955-56, is an exhibition that examines photographs of 16 of the approximately 90 protesters arrested in February 1956 as part of the year-long boycott of segregated intrastate bus transportation. The exhibition was developed by Carleton History professor Harry Williams and his students in a seminar on the civil rights movement.
