Aureline Browder was a Black housewife in Montgomery, Alabama, and W.A. Gayle was the mayor of the city during the time of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

During the boycott, the NAACP tried to get the issue dealt with at the Federal Courts. Browder was chosen to sue the city of Montgomery for giving passengers unequal treatment. The complaint was upheld at the District Court, but an appeal kept the case open. The Supreme Court then heard the case and ruled that Montgomery's bus laws were unconstitutional, and ordered them to be removed.
