Ms. Parks is 91.

Cuilionn is correct about her planned action. It would have been folly to not let the right people know what she was going to do. All protestors at that time, and still should have IMO, had a support network set up because things could go wrong.

Sister Parks was also quick to let others know during the boycott that many white folks helped black folks get rides and do other necessary things to support the boycott, often at peril to their well being.
