Johnnie Rebecca Daniels Carr (born January 26, 1911 in Alabama, died February 22, 2008 in Montgomery, Alabama) was an American civil rights activist. Carr joined the black civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who was arrested on 1 December 1955 because she refused to make a white seat in the bus. This led to Montgomery's bus boycott.
In 1967, she succeeded Martin Luther King as President of the Montgomery Improvement Association and held this office until her death. In 2001, she was honored with the Four Freedoms Award in Hyde Park, New York in the category of religious freedom.
