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. (TV: Rosa)
