James Fred Blake was a bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1955, he had Rosa Parks arrested for refusing to give up her seat on his bus to Graham O'Brien, a white passenger, an action which started the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
He became infamous for his actions that day. Grace O'Brien believed that Blake gave all bus drivers a bad name when she learned that her future husband was also a bus driver.
Krasko attempted to prevent the rise of the Civil Rights Movement by preventing Blake from arresting Parks. Due to Krasko's interference, he was due to take the day off on 1 December, the day of Parks's arrest, to go fishing.
However, he was approached by Graham O'Brien and his step-grandson, Ryan Sinclair. Blake was shocked that Ryan could be related to Graham and seemed uneasy about the presence of a black man in his fishing spot. When Ryan fabricated an alleged staged incident on the buses from the black citizens of Montgomery, Blake resumed his place in history and ended up arresting Parks. (TV: Rosa)
