Worcy Crawford ran the only bus company that would transport colored passengers in pre-Civil Rights Act Birmingham. Mr. Crawford recently passed away and now the buses sit in disrepair.

Little pieces of history just being neglected. He should have sent it to Oprah, she would probably give everyone keys to their own new bus.

OTOH, the disrepair has the positive lining of suggesting that the country has no use for these buses any more.
