Today in Civil Rights we listened to the oral testimony of a woman involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Her name was Jo Ann Robinson, and it was her job to disseminate information about the boycott, as you might guess from her words:

"I did not go to sleep that night, I made 35000 stencils and printed leaflets, and in the morning the whole town knew what to do."

And my first thought upon hearing this admirable feat:

Damn, that woman knows how to pull an all-nighter.
