Church and mass-meeting collections kept the Montgomery Improvement Association alive at first; then donations began to flood in from across the U.S. and from as far away as Tokyo. By the end of last year the M.I.A. had spent an estimated $225,000. At every turn King outgeneraled Montgomery's white officials. Example: the officials went to court to have the M.I.A.'s assets frozen, but King had the funds scattered around in out-of-reach banks that included half a dozen in the North...

As superlatively played by Teresa Wright, Annie was a no-nonsense teacher who refused to turn the other cheek. She fulminated against her charge ("pigheaded little jackass"), even slapped her occasionally.
