Aurelia Browder was a pioneer in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and 1960's. Arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat some 8 months before Rosa Parks, she was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit (Browder vs Gayle), which caused the end of the Separate But Equal Laws of the Land (Plessy vs. Ferguson), the end of segregated busing in Montgomery, Alabama and ultimately the South. She helped sustain the bus boycott with the use of her vehicles to would-be bus riders.

Mrs. Browder was also active in the fight to increase black voters. To that end, she tutored would-be voters to assist them in taking voter examinations. She was diligent in her efforts to eliminate the poll tax charged to registered voters. She helped transport voters to the polls and would-be voters for registration.
