Rosa Parks has this huge life, what she will call a life history of being rebellious, that really begins in her 20s when she meets and marries the person she describes as, “the first real activist I ever met.” And that’s Raymond Parks. They fall in love. They get married. And Raymond is working on Scottsboro. This is 1931.
Scottsboro is a group of young men, nine young men, ages 12 to 19, get arrested for riding the rails. Basically, they’re riding the train for free. These are young black men. But in the midst of this arrest, police also discover, in a neighboring car two young white women doing this. And that charge quickly changes to rape. These young men are quickly tried and all but the youngest, who is 12, sentenced to death.
Rosa's Husband - US Represented Sep 11, 2017 - His famous wife, Rosa Parks, became an iconic civil rights leader during the ... Raymond and Rosa also attended communist party meetings.working to free the Scottsboro Boys, a group of nine young African-American men falsely accused in 1931 of raping two white women in north Alabama. Rosa described Raymond as “the first real activist I ever met.” She also said, “Not many men were activists in those days either, because if it was known they were meeting, they would be wiped right out.” Raymond visited the Scottsboro Boys in jail, taking them food and offering them moral support
Rosa was certainly courageous, she was not the first black woman to be arrested protesting the segregated Montgomery bus system.
The Communist Party U.S.A played a major role in generating publicity in support of the Scottsboro Boys. Thus, one can see why many African-Americans like Raymond Parks embraced the group’s outreach. Still, Raymond’s ties to CPUSA may be the reason he has not received more historical recognition. His story was overshadowed by Cold War politics. As Kelley argues, “Most people think of communists as these terrible, horrendous people.” Rational discussion of communist influence within the U.S. has, historically speaking, been non-existent.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the release of records in the USSR, historians now realize that a significant communist influence within the U.S. was not just a McCarthyite fantasy. At any rate, it’s high time that Raymond Parks’ influence on the civil rights movement be studied more thoroughly.

President ...according to Professor Robin D.G. Kelley, who has written on the Communist Party's involvement in the early days of the civil rights movement in Alabama, Parks and her husband were regular attendees at communist meetings in the 1930's.
Kelley, who is currently Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California, shared his own journey as a member of the Communist Party in a 2003 Minnesota Review article.
Kelley focused on Hammer and Hoe and the Party's beginnings in Birmingham. He specifically named Parks as a woman who was directly involved with the famous 1931 Scottsboro case which the CP used to cement their relationship with the black community.
Kelley doesn't mention American Thinker Parks attended the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee weeks before her arrest in Montgomery. Highlander, a kind of training facility for community organizers was started by two members of the Communist Party in 1954. There Parks learned about Ghandi and the effectiveness of nonviolent civil disobedience.
Later on Martin Luther King, Jr. and Stokely Carmichael also attended sessions at the school. Trouble is Highlander was founded by the same two men who set up Commonwealth College. Commonwealth was cited in a secret report on communism reprinted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. On April 27, 1947, the U.S. Attorney General listed Commonwealth College as a communist front. The College had displayed a hammer and sickle and openly taught communism.
Even though the communist underbelly of the civil rights movement has been noted by Kelley and others most students and Americans are unaware of the Party's influence in the lives of activists like Rosa Parks. That's a shame.

Some of the most important organizers in steel, in iron were communists; who, after 1935, were some of the lead organizers in training and organizing, which really made a difference in workers lives in the 50s and 60s. The other thing is that there were many people who were trained in the Communist Party who went on to become Civil Rights activists. Asbury Howard, who was a radical (unintelligible) who went onto to play a significant role in Alabamas Civil Rights Movement.
And then, Rosa Parks. Was does Rosa Parks had to do with any of this? Well, some of her first political activities were around the Scottsboro case, you know? She never joined the party, but as a young woman, she and her husband, in fact, attended some of the meetings. Then the other area is, just in the rural areas - this may seem like a small thing, but imagine if youre picking cotton at basically 30 cents a day and you fight and fight and you can get your wages up to 50 cents or a dollar a day. It took about five years and a lot of blood shed, but they were able to raise the wages as a result.
