Lone Negro Waits at Bus Stop

"Lone Negro Waits at Bus Stop"
This is interesting idren.  1955.  First days of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.  Almost immediately it is catching on: no one is riding.  The Montgomery Improvement Association (great read of them here) got the word out throught churches and the grapevine.  The buses are empty.  The Advertiser's photographer evidently caught one person waiting (or were they?).  What do you think is going through this person's mind as the white photographer pictures them...waiting...alone.  Is that a hater?  Or is that someone else?  What is that person thinking?  What do you think?
