මොයිරා මල්වේ (Moira Mulvey) යනු බ්‍රිතාන්‍ය ජාතික ඔස්ටියෝපති වෛද්‍යවරියක්  වන අතර ඇය 2001 සිට 2007 දක්වා බාබඩෝස් ජාතික සහ බටහිර ඉන්දීය කොදෙව් ජාත්‍යන්තර රග්බි කණ්ඩායම් වල ඔස්ටියෝපති තනතුර හොබවන ලදී.

මොයිරා මල්වේ


දාගැබ හෙවත් ස්ථූප ගොඩනැගුණේ බුදුන් වහන්සේ සිහිකිරීම සඳහාය. බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපයේ ආරම්භය ඈත අතීතයට විහිදී යයි. බෞද්ධයන් ස්ථූපයක් ගොඩනැංවූයේ බුදුන් වහන්සේගේ පූජනීය නෂ්ටාවශේෂ හෝ උන්වහන්සේගේ පවිත්‍ර සලකුණු තැබූ ස්ථාන මුල්කරගෙනය. මෙසේ ගොඩනැංවූ  බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපවලට මහත් භක්තියකින් සැලකීමට බෞද්ධයෝ අමතක නොකළහ. මේ තත්වය මැනවින් විද්‍යමානවූයේ ඉන්දියාවේය. ස්ථූප ගොඩනැගීම ආරම්භවූයේ බුදුන් වහන්සේ ජීවමාන කාලයේදීමය. ඒ බව ලංකාවෙන් ලැබෙන තොරතුරුවලින්ද තහවුරු වේ. උන්වහන්සේද චෛත්‍යය අගය කරඇත.
	" රමණීයං වෝ ආනන්ද චාපාල චේතියං,රමණීයං එරන්දද චේතියං ........."
යන බුද්ධ වචනයෙන් පැහැදිලි වන්නේ උන්වහන්සේ චාපාල,සාරන්දද ආදී චෛත්‍යය ස්ථාන රමණීයත්වයෙන් අගය කළබවය.
බුදුන් ජීවමාන කාලයේදී බෞද්ධ ස්ථූප ගොඩනැංවුණු බවට ලංකාවෙන් ලැබෙන සාධක නම්,තපස්සු භල්ලුක වෙළෙඳ දෙබෑයන් බුදුන් වහන්සේට විළඳ හා මීපැණි පිළිගැන්වීමෙන් පසුව ලැබුණු කේශධාතු තැන්පත්කර ගිරිහඬුසෑය ඉදිකළබව සඳහන්වීමය. මෙය බුරුම මූලාශ්‍රවලද සඳහන් වේ. එනම් බුරුම ජාතිකයන් විශ්වාස කරන්නේ ඔවුන්ට ලැබුණු කේශධාතු තැන්පත්කර බුරුමයේ ස්වේදගොන් චෛත්‍යය ගොඩනැංවූ බවය. ඒ මගින් පැහැදිලි වන්නේ බුදුන් ජීවමාන කාලයේ බුරුමයේද බෞද්ධ ස්ථූප ගොඩනැංවීම ආරම්භ වූ බවය.මීට අමතරව බුදුන්ගේ ලංකාගමනයේදී මහියංගණයට වැඩමකළ අවස්ථාව සිහිගැන්වීමට සුමන සමන් දෙවියන් විසින් මහියංගණ චෛත්‍යය ඉදිකිරීමද,කැළණියට වැඩමකළ අවස්ථාවේ හිඳගත් මැණික් පුටුව තැන්පත් කිරීමෙන් මණිඅක්ඛිත රජු විසින් ඉදිකරවන ලද කැළණි චෛත්‍යයද බුදුන් වහන්සේ ජීවමාන කාලය හා සම්බන්ධවන චෛත්‍යය වේ.

එමෙන්ම ආනන්ද හිමියන් බුදුන් වහන්සේ පිරිනිවන් පෑ පසු දේහය පිළිබඳව කෙසේ කටයුතු කළ යුතුද යන්න ඇසූවිට උන්වහන්සේ පවසා සිටියේ තමන් වහන්සේගේ දේහය ආදාහනය කිරීමෙන් පසුව හතරමං හංදියක ස්ථූපයක් තනා පුදපූජාදිය පැවැත්විය යුතු බවයි.එයින් උන්වහන්සේ ප්‍රකාශ කළේ තමන් වහන්සේ ජීවමානව නොමැතිවිට ශාසනයේ පැවැත්ම සඳහා තමන් උදෙසා චෛත්‍යයට පුදසත්කාර කිරීම යෝග්‍ය බවයි.උන්වහන්සේගේ පරිනිර්වාණයෙන් එසේ කළ අතර එම චෛත්‍යය වන්දනය අද දක්වාත් ක්‍රියාත්මක වේ.

ඉන්දියාවේ බෞද්ධ චෛත්‍යය වඩාත් ප්‍රචලිත තත්වයට පත්වූයේ අ‍ශෝක අධිරාජ්‍යයාගේ සමයේදීය. රජතුමා අසූහාරදහසක් වෙහෙර විහාර තැනවූ බව ජනප්‍රවාදයෙහි මෙන්ම වංශකථාවලද සඳහන් වේ. ඒ අනුව ලෝකයේ වැඩිම වෙහෙර විහාර සංඛ්‍යාවක් ගොඩකැංවූ පලකයා ලෙස සැලකෙන්නේ අශෝක අධිරාජ්‍යයාය.

බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපයේ ප්‍රභවය

බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපය ද මහා පුරුෂ ඇදහීම සම්බන්ධයෙන් ඇති වූ සංකේතයකි. මහා පුරුෂ ගණයට සම්මා සම්බුද්ධ, පසේ බුද්ධ, අර්හත් ශ්‍රාවක, චක්‍රවර්තී රාජ යන සිව්දෙනා අයත් වේ. චක්‍රවර්තී රජුගේ ද ශරීරය දෙතිස් මහා පුරුෂ ලක්ෂණයන්ගෙන් සමන්විත ය. පරිනිර්වාණයෙන් පසු බුදුහු ධර්මකාය ස්වරූපයෙන් සදාකාලික වෙති. බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපය තුළ ඒ බුදුහු ජීවමාන ව වැඩ සිටිති. ස්ථූපය සියලු බුදුවරුන් වැඩ සිටින මණ්ඩලයක් ලෙස තාන්ත්‍රික බෞද්ධයෝ ද සලකති. බුද්ධ වංශයේ බුදුරදුන් ථූපයට සමාන ලෙස සලකා තිබීමෙන් මෙය තවදුරටත් තහවුරු වේ.

මහායාන සම්ප්‍රදායට අනුව සම්භෝගය දෙතිස් මහා පුරුෂ ලක්ෂණ හා අසීතානුව්‍යඤ්ජනවලින් සමන්විත ය. ධර්මකායේ සම්භෝග අවස්ථාව ඉන් දැක්වේ. මේ අනුව ධර්මකාය හෙවත් බුදුරදුන් හෝ එය මානවරූප ව සංකේතවත් කෙරෙන සම්භෝගකාය හෝ ධ්‍යානී බුදුවරු තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූප තැනීම ඓතිහාසික බුදුරජාණන් වහන්සේගේ ධාතු තැන්පත් කර ස්ථූප තැනීම ශ්‍රේෂ්ඨත්වයෙන් සලකන ලදී.

ථෙරවාදීහු ඓතිහාසික සිද්ධාර්ථ ගෞතමයන් වහන්සේ ඇතුළු පශ්චිම භවික මානුෂී බෝධිසත්වයන්ට ද මහා පුරුෂත්වය ආරෝපණය  කළහ. මෙසේ දෙපක්ෂය ම මහා පුරුෂ සංකල්පය පිළිගෙන ඇති බවත් මහා පුරුෂයන් සිටින ස්මාරකයන් ලෙස හෝ මහා පුරුෂ සංකේතයක් වශයෙන් ස්ථූපය දෙපක්ෂය ම පිළිගෙන ඇති බව අනාවරණය වෙයි. මේ තත්ත්වය අනුව බෞද්ධ ස්ථූප වෛදික මහා පුරුෂ සංකල්පය බැඳි හිරණ්‍ය ස්ථූප ප්‍රභව කොට ඇති බව අග්‍රාවාලගේ මතය නිවැරදි සේ පෙනේ.

බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපයේ ඉතිහාසය

බෞද්ධ ස්ථූප ගොඩනැඟීම ආරම්භ වූයේ බුදුන් ජීවමාන ව සිටියදී ම ය. බුදුන් ජීවමාන ව සිටියදී ම පිරිනිවන් පෑ ශාරිපුත්ත, මොග්ගල්ලාන අගසව් දෙනමගේ භෂ්මාවශේෂ තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූප තනන ලදී. ඒ සඳහා උපදෙස් දෙන ලද්දේ බුදු රජාණන් වහන්සේ ය. බුදුන් වහන්සේ පිරිනිවන් පෑමට ප්‍රථම ආනන්ද හිමියන් විමසන ලදුව තමන් වහන්සේ පිරිනිවීමෙන් පසු ව මෘත දේහය සක්විති රජෙකුගේ මෘතදේහයට මෙන් සලකා ආදාහනය කොට සිව් මංසන්ධියක ස්ථූපයක් තනවා ප්‍රදක්ෂිණා කිරී‍මෙන් මල්දම් පැළඳවීමෙන් සුවඳසුණු ගැල්වීමෙන්  එය පූජා කරන ලෙස පැවසූ බව මහා වග්ගයෙහි සඳහන් වේ. මෙය ප්‍රාග් බෞද්ධ චක්‍රවර්තී වන්දනාව අනුගමනය කිරීමකි. මේ දෙකෙන් ම මහා පුරුෂ වන්දනාව අදහස් කෙරේ.

සර්වාස්තිවාදි වි‍නයෙහි දැක්වෙන පරිදි අනාථ පිණ්ඩික ද බුදු රජාණන් වහන්සේගෙන් කෙස් හා නිය ලබා ගෙන ඒවා තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූපයක් තැනීමට බුදු රජාණන් වහන්සේගෙන් අවසර ලබා ගෙන ඇත. එම ස්ථූපය බිත්ති රතු, කළු, සුදු වර්ණ ආලේප කිරීමට ද මෛතුන රූප හැර වෙනත් ඕනෑ ම රූපයක් ඇඳීමට ද දොරටුවලට දොරවල් සවි කිරීමට ද දොරටු ඉදිරිපිට වටේට ගරාදි වැට තැනීමට ද විමානවල කුඩා ස්ථූප තැනීමට ද කුළුණු යෙදීමට  හා ඒවා පාට කිරීමට ද ඔහු බුදුන්ගෙන් අවසර ලබා ගෙන ඇත.

මහා සාංඝික විනයෙහි එන පරිදි බුදුරදුන් විසින් ම කාශ්‍යප බුදුරදුන් උදෙසා ස්ථූපයක් තනවන ලදී. ගඩොලින් තනන ලද එම ස්ථූපය රන් හා රිදී තහඩුවලින් වසන ලදී. එම ස්තූපය යොදුනක් උස ය. එහි අර්ධ විෂ්කම්භය යොදුන් භාගයකි. ලෝකඩවලින් ගරාදි වැට තනන ලදී. මේ ස්ථූපය තැනීම සඳහා අවුරුදු 7 දින 7 ක් ගත වී ඇත. ස්ථූපයේ හතර පැත්තේ විමාන සිංහ හා ඇත් රෑප ද විය.

කාකි රජු විසින් කරවන ලද ස්ථූපයක් ගැන මහා සාංඝික විනයෙහි සඳහන් වේ. බුදුරදුන් උපන්, බුදු වූ, දම්සක් පැවැත් වූ, පිරිනිවන් පෑ තැන්වල ද චෛත්‍ය තනවනු ලැබී ය.

සිද්ධාර්ථ ගෞතමයන් වහන්සේ බුද්ධත්ව‍ය ලබා සති හතක් ගිය තැන උන්වහන්සේට පළමු ආහාරය පිදූ තපස්සු හා භල්ලුක යන වෙළඳ සහෝදරයන් දෙදෙනා උන්වහන්සේගෙන් ලබා ගත් කෙස් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට ගෙනැවිත් නැගෙනහිර වෙරළේ තිරියාය නමින් ප්‍රසිද්ධ ස්ථානයේ ස්ථූපයක් කරවා එහි තැන්පත් කළ බවට සෙල්ලිපියක සඳහන් වේ.

තවද බුදුහු මුලින් ම ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට පැමිණි අවස්ථාවේ සමන්තකූටය වාස භවනය කරගත් මහා සුමන දෙවියෝ බුදුන්ගෙන් ලබාගත් කේශ ධාතු තැන්පත් කර මහියංගන චෛත්‍ය කර වූ බව මහා වංශයේ සඳහන් වේ.

ගෞතම බුදුරජාණන් වහන්සේට ජ්‍යෙෂ්ඨ සමකාලිකයෙක් වූ මහාවීර තුමන්ගේ නායකත්වයෙන් පහළ වූ ජෛන ආගමේ ද ස්ථූප වන්දනාව පිළිගෙන තිබේ. එම ස්ථූප බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපවලට සමාන බව සී.එස්.ෂා පවසයි. එම නිසා බෞද්ධයන් බුදුරදුන්ගේ භෂ්මාවශේෂ තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූප තැනීමට පෙර ජෛනයන් මහාවීර තුමාගේ භෂ්මාවශේෂ තැන්පත් කර ස්ථූප තනන ලද බව සිතිය හැකි ය.

බුදු රජාණන් වහන්සේ පිරිනිවීමෙන් පසු උන්වහන්සේගේ භෂ්මාවශේෂ කොටස් අටකට බෙදා රටවල් අටකට භාර දෙන ලදී. ඒ භෂ්මාවශේෂ ලබාගත් රජගහනුවර අජාසත්ත, වේසාලියෙහි ලිච්ඡවීහු, කපිලවස්තුවේ ශාක්‍යයෝ, අල්ලකප්පයෙහි බුලයෝ, පාචෙය්‍යයෙහි මල්ලවයෝ, කුසිනාරාවේ මල්ලවයෝ ශාරීරික ධාතු කොටස් තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූප තනා පිදූහ. ධාතු බෙදූ බඳුන (කුම්භය) තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූපයක් තනා පිදුවේ ය. පිප්ඵලී වනයේ මෞරවයෝ බුදුරදුන්ගේ මෘතදේහය දැවූ සෑයේ අඟුරු ලබා ගෙන ඒවා තැන්පත් කොට ස්ථූපයක් තනා පිදූහ. මේ අනුව බුද්ධ පරිනිර්වාණයට අනතුරුව බෞද්ධ  ස්ථූප දහයක් තනා පුදනු ලැබු බව අනාවරණය වෙයි.

රාමගාමයෙහි ස්ථූපයේ තැන්පත් කර තිබූ ධාතු පසු ව මාඤ්ජේරික නාග භවනයෙහි ඝරයක් සහිත ස්ථූපයක තැන්පත් කර තිබී ක්‍රි.පූ.2 වන සියවසේ දී ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ රාජ්‍ය කළ දුට්ඨගාමිණී රජු විසින් ලබා ගෙන මහා ථූපයේ (රුවන්වැලි සෑයෙහි) තැන්පත් කරන ලද බව මහා වංශයේ සඳහන් වේ.

ස්ථූප ඉන්දියාවෙන් ප්‍රභවය ලැබූවක් නොවිය හැකි ය. සුමේරියානු වාස්තු විද්‍යාවේ මෙම ස්මාරක විශේෂයට සමාන සිග්ගුරත් නමින් ගොඩනැඟිලි විශේෂයක් වෙයි. චන්චායු යන දෙවියන් වැඳීමට හා මළවුන් ඇදහීමට එය සම්බන්ධ වේ. පිරමිඩ්ස් ද ස්ථූප විශේෂයකි. ක්‍රි.පූ. යුගයට අයත් ස්ථූප රෝමයේ ඉටුය්කන්හි තිබේ. ඒවා බෞද්ධයන්ගේ වෘත්තාකාර ස්ථූපවලට බෙහෙවින් සමාන ය. මේ අනුව සලකන කල්හි ස්ථූපය නමැති ගොඩනැඟිලි වර්ගය අවුරුදු දහස් ගණනක් අතීතයට විහිදී ගිය පෙර අපර දෙදිග ම රටවලට උරුම වූවක් වේ.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ බෞද්ධ ස්ථූපය

ඉන්දියාවේ අ‍ශෝක අධිරාජ්‍යයාගේ කාලයේදී ලංකාවේ පාලනය කළ දේවානම්පියතිස්ස රජ දවස එනම් ක්‍රි.පූ 3 වන සියවසේදී මෙරටට බුද්ධාගම ලැබුණේ මහින්දාගමනයත් සමගය. බුදු දහම ලැබීමෙන් පසු ලංකාවේ ගොඩනනංවන ලද ප්‍රථම චෛත්‍යය ලෙස සඳහන් වන්නේ ථූපාරාම ත්‍යයයි.ඒ සඳහා මිහිඳු මහරහතන් වහන්සේගේ උපදෙස් ලැබුණු බව මහාවංශයේ සඳහන් වේ.මේ අනුව ථූපාරාමය ගොඩනැංවීමේදී භාරතීය බෞද්ධ ආභාසය ඒ සඳහා ලැබෙන්නට ඇතැයි විශ්වාස කෙරේ. එහෙත් පසුකාලීනව ගොඩනංවන ලද බෞද්ධ ස්ථූප නිර්මාණයේදී ලංකාවේ ගෘහනිර්මාණ ශිල්පියා දේශියත්වයට ගැලපෙන පරිදි චෛත්‍යය නිර්මාණයට පෙළඹී ඇති බව විද්වතුන්ගේ මතය වේ. ශ්‍රී ලාංකිකයන්ගේ විශිෂ්ට හැකියාවන් මෙන්ම සාමය, සහෝදරත්වය,සහයෝගය වැනි උතුම් ගුණාංගයන් මෙම චෛත්‍යය නිර්මාණයන් තුළින් පිළිබිඹු වන බව ඒ දෙස බලන ඕනෑම පුද්ගලයෙකුට සිතේ.ඉනිදියාවේ සාංචි ස්ථූපය වැනි ස්ථූප දෙස බලන විට ලංකා ස්ථූපයේ වර්ධනය දේශීය ගෘහනිර්මාණශිල්පය අනුව යමින් අලංකාරත්වයෙන් හා දර්ශනීයත්වයෙන් ඉදිරියට ගෙනගිය බව පැහැදිලි කාරණයකි.රුවන්වැලි මහාසෑය,අභයගිරිය, ජේතවනය වැනි චෛත්‍යය ලෝකයා මවිතයට පත්කරවන්නේ ඉහත ලක්‍ෂණයන්ගේ බලපෑමෙන් බව කිවහැකිය.

දාගැබක ප්‍රධාන අංග

මුල් යුගය
මුල් කාලයේ චෛත්‍යයක තිබුණු අංග ක්‍රමයෙන් විකාශනය වී ඇතිබව පෙනේ.භාරතයේ සාංචි ස්ථූපය ගොඩනංවන ලද්දේ ගල්වැටකින් වටවුණු භූමි භාගයකය.චෛත්‍යයට ඇතුළුවීමට දොරටු සතරක් සතර දිශාවෙන් විය.

එම දොරටුවල අලංකාර කැටයම් දක්නට ලැබේත ස්ථූපය ඉදිකරන ලද්දේ එම මළුවෙහි මැද පිහිටි වේදිකාවකය.මෙම වේදිකාවට නැඟීමට පියගැටපෙළක් විය.මෙම වේදිකාව මත ඉදිකරන ලද අර්ධ ගෝලාකාර දාගැබ ස්ථූපය විය.එම ගර්භය මුදුනෙහි තවත් මේදියක්ද ඒ මත හතරැස් කොටුවක්ද ඉදිවිය.ඒ හතරැස් කොටුව මත හරිමැද යෂ්ටියක් විය. එම යෂ්ටිය මත ඡත්‍රයක් විය.චෛත්‍යයට වැදගත්කම ගෙනදුන් ධාතු නිධානය කරන ලද්දේ අර්ධ ගෝලාකාර හැඩැති ධාතු ගර්භයෙහිය.

පසුකාලීන යුගය

පසුකාලයේදී මෙම චෛත්‍යයේ අංග වැඩිවිය. ඒ අනුව වැලිමළුවක් ,සලපතල මළුවක් හා පේසා වළලු එකතුවිය. ධාතුගර්භය ඉදිකළේ මෙම පේසා වළලු මතය.අද එය ස්ථූපයේ අලංකාරය සඳහා නිර්මාණය වූවක් බවට පත්ව තිබේ.එමෙන්ම ධාතුගර්භය මත ස්ථූප ආරම්භයේදී පැවති කුඩා මේදිය සතරැස් කොටුවක් බවට පත්විය.ඒ මත කලින් තිබූ ඡත්‍රය හා සම්බන්ධ යෂ්ටිය දේවතා කොටුව වශයෙන් හැඳින්වීය. දේවතා කොටුවේ පහළ සිට ඉහලට සිහින් හැඩයටකළ නිර්මාණය කොත්කැරැල්ල විය.කොත්කැරැල්ල මුදුනේ ස්ථූපය අලංකාර කරමින් කොතක් පැළඳූ අතර කොත මුදුනෙහි පළිඟුවක් විය.

කාලයාගේ ඇවෑමත් සමඟම ස්ථූපයට තවත් අංග ඒකරාශි විය. දොරටු සතරෙහි තොරණ සතර හා සම්බන්ධ ම්‍ළුවට නැග එන ගල්පඩිපෙලද ඒ ආශ්‍රිතව කොරවක්ගල්,මුරගල් හා සඳකඩපහණක්ද එකතුවිය. මීට අමතරව චෛත්‍යය හා සම්බන්ධ කර ස්ථූපයේ හතර පැත්තෙහි සමාන්තර වාහල්කඩ සතරක්ද පසුකාලයේදී ඉදිවිය. එම වාහල්කඩ ඉදිකළේ චෛත්‍යයේ ශක්තිය වර්ධනය කිරීමටත් අලංකාරය ඇතිකිරීමට හා වන්දනාකරුවන්ට මල්පහන් ආදී තම පූජා භාණ්ඩද තැන්පත් කිරීමටය.ඒ සඳහා වාහල්කඩ ආශ්‍රිතව ශෛලමය මල් ආසනයක්ද විය.

Boynton v. Virginia, 364 U.S. 454 (1960), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court.  The case overturned a judgment convicting an African American law student for trespassing by being in a restaurant in a bus terminal which was "whites only".  It held that racial segregation in public transportation was illegal because such segregation violated the Interstate Commerce Act, which broadly forbade discrimination in interstate passenger transportation. It moreover held that bus transportation was sufficiently related to interstate commerce to allow the United States federal government to regulate it to forbid racial discrimination in the industry.

Thurgood Marshall argued the case for Boynton. The majority opinion was written by Justice Hugo Black.

The significance of Boynton was not located in its holding since it managed to avoid deciding any Constitutional questions in its decision, and its expansive reading of Federal powers regarding interstate commerce was also well established by the time of the decision. Its significance is that its outlawing of racial segregation in public transportation led directly to a movement called the Freedom Rides, in which African Americans and whites together rode various forms of public transportation in the South to challenge local laws or customs that enforced segregation.  The Freedom Rides, and the violent reactions they provoked, prompted Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy to confront the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) with its failure to enforce a bus desegregation ruling it had handed down in 1955, Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company, 64 MCC 769 (1955) as well as the companion train desegregation case, NAACP v. St. Louis-Santa Fe Railway Company, 297 ICC 335 (1955). By presenting the commission with its own rulings in a May 29, 1961, petition, Kennedy was able to prompt it to do what it had promised in 1955, five years before the Boynton ruling was handed down, and six years before the Freedom Riders set out to test Boynton across the Deep South. On September 22, 1961, the ICC issued regulations which implemented its 1955 Keys and NAACP rulings, as well as the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton, and on November 1 those regulations went into effect, effectively ending Jim Crow in public transportation.

Boynton's trip and arrest

In the winter of 1958, Bruce Boynton was a student at Howard University School of Law in Washington, D.C. While travelling on a Trailways bus for a holiday trip to his home in Selma, Alabama, his bus arrived at the Trailways station on East Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia. Passengers disembarked for a 40-minute layover. Unlike other black passengers, Boynton went into a "whites only" restaurant, where he ordered a cheeseburger and a cup of hot tea. He never had problems in Northern states, but he grew up in Selma and was familiar with segregation of restaurants and movie theaters. It was not his intent to test any laws in the South that night.

Ordered to move to the "black" section and knowing that his arrest was likely, Boynton pointed out to authorities that he was an American citizen with federal rights and, thus, was entitled to his burger and tea. Handcuffed and arrested on a misdemeanor trespass charge, he spent the night in jail and was fined $10 in a Richmond municipal court.

Boynton in the Virginia courts
In the Richmond Police Court, Boynton was convicted of violating a state statute making it a misdemeanor for any person "without authority of law" to remain upon the premises of another after having been forbidden to do so. His conviction was sustained in Richmond's Hustings Court.

On appeal, he contended that his conviction violated the Interstate Commerce Act and the Equal Protection, Due Process and Commerce Clauses of the Federal Constitution; but his conviction was sustained by the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Boynton's Federal appeal
Future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall argued Boynton's case on appeal in the Federal Courts. On petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court, he raised only the constitutional questions.

Supreme Court Ruling
1. Notwithstanding the fact that the petition for certiorari presented only the constitutional questions this Court will consider the statutory issue, which involves essentially the same problem—racial discrimination in interstate commerce. P. 364 U. S. 457.

2. Under § 216(d) of the Interstate Commerce Act, which forbids any interstate common carrier by motor vehicle to subject any person to unjust discrimination, petitioner had a federal right to remain in the white portion of the restaurant, he was there "under authority of law", and it was error to affirm his conviction. Pp. 364 U. S. 457–463.

(a) When a bus carrier has volunteered to make terminal and restaurant facilities and services available to its interstate passengers as a regular part of their transportation, and the terminal and restaurant have acquiesced and cooperated in this undertaking, the terminal and restaurant must perform these services without discriminations prohibited by the Act. Pp. 364 U. S. 457–461.

(b) Although the courts below made no findings of fact, the evidence in this case shows such a situation here. Pp. 364 U. S. 461–463.

Reversed.

MR. JUSTICE BLACK delivered the opinion of the Court.

The basic question presented in this case is whether an interstate bus passenger is denied a federal statutory or constitutional right when a restaurant in a bus terminal used by the carrier along its route discriminates in serving food to the passenger solely because of his color.

Petitioner, a Negro law student, bought a Trailways bus ticket from Washington, D.C., to Montgomery, Alabama. He boarded a bus at 8 p.m. which arrived at Richmond, Virginia, about 10:40 p.m. When the bus pulled up at the Richmond "Trailways Bus Terminal", the bus driver announced a forty-minute stopover there. Petitioner got off the bus and went into the bus terminal to get something to eat. In the station, he found a restaurant in which one part was used to serve white people and one to serve Negroes. Disregarding this division, petitioner sat down on a stool in the white section. A waitress asked him to move over to the other section where there were "facilities" to serve colored people. Petitioner told her he was an interstate bus passenger, refused to move, and ordered a sandwich and tea. The waitress then brought the Assistant Manager, who "instructed" petitioner to "leave the white portion of the restaurant and advised him he could be served in the colored portion." Upon petitioner's refusal to leave, an officer was called and petitioner was arrested and later tried, convicted and fined ten dollars in the Police Justice's Court of Richmond on a charge that he "[u]nlawfully did remain on the premises of the Bus Terminal Restaurant of Richmond, Inc. after having been forbidden to do so" by the Assistant Manager. (Emphasis supplied.) The charge was based on § 18-225 of the Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (1958), which provides in part:

"If any person shall without authority of law go upon or remain upon the lands or premises of another, after having been forbidden to do so by the owner, lessee, custodian or other person lawfully in charge of such land, . . . he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars or by confinement in jail not exceeding thirty days, or by both such fine and imprisonment."

Clergy reserves were tracts of land in Upper Canada and Lower Canada reserved for the support of "Protestant clergy" by the Constitutional Act of 1791. One-seventh of all surveyed Crown lands were set aside, totaling  and  respectively for each Province, and provision was made to dedicate some of those reserved lands as glebe land in support of any parsonage or rectory that may be established by the Church of England. The provincial legislatures could vary or repeal these provisions, but royal assent could not be given before such passed bills having been laid before both houses of the British Parliament for at least thirty days.

Upper Canada

The first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, interpreted "Protestant clergy" to mean the clergy of Church of England only. However, in 1823 the Law Officers of the Crown held that the Church of Scotland was also entitled to a share of the revenues under the 1791 Act. Although Lt-Governor Maitland attempted to suppress the publication of that decision, the Legislature passed resolutions the following year that recognized that church's status.

Complications in establishing leasing procedures prevented the reserve lands from being leased before 1803. Until 1819, the reserve lands were managed by the Province, and in most years they earned revenues that were barely sufficient to cover their expenses. After the Rev. John Strachan was appointed to the Executive Council of Upper Canada in 1815, he began to push for the Church of England's autonomous control of the clergy reserves on the model of the Clergy Corporation of Lower Canada, created in 1817. The Clergy Corporation, of which Strachan became the chairman, was subsequently incorporated in 1819 to manage the Clergy Reserves.

The 1819 charter (drafted by Strachan's former student, Attorney General John Beverly Robinson) provided for the Bishop of Quebec to become the perpetual Principal and Director (as he was for the Lower Canada body), who, with twelve other directors, constituted the Board. The Bishop's Official (named by the Bishop) and the rectors of Niagara and York could each serve as acting chairman.

Other perpetual directors were:

 the incumbents at Kingston, Niagara, York, Cornwall, Grimsby, Ancaster and Hamilton; and
 the Inspector General and Surveyor General of the Province of Upper Canada.

Any two directors, together with the Principal or an acting chairman, constituted a quorum, but, because of the poor network of roads, most clergy members were generally unable to attend Corporation meetings. This effectively meant that Strachan (as rector of York), together with the Inspector General and Surveyor General, controlled the Board. These three members were part of the Family Compact, of which Strachan was the leader.

The reserves were allotted in lots of , generally intermixed with other lots sold to individuals within each surveyed township. Except in the Talbot Settlement (where they were located off the main roads), they were generally arranged in a checkerboard pattern within each township, and were a serious obstacle to economic development as they were effectively wasteland, either being abandoned by lessees after the timber had been fully harvested, or unattractive because of the availability of cheap freehold land. This was recognized by the Legislative Assembly in 1817 when it passed resolutions that condemned the lands as "insurmountable obstacles" and called on the Parliament in Westminster to authorize their sale.

Until 1827, no reserve lands were sold. They were leased for terms of twenty-one years, with rents on a sliding scale:

Even with higher rates being charged from 1819, total annual revenues were still only £1200 in 1824, and only one-third could be collected without pursuing legal action.

In 1826, the Canada Company was formed to sell off the remaining crown and clergy reserves in the province. However, because of opposition from Strachan, the Company received  in the Huron Tract, in substitution for the originally contemplated  of clergy reserve lands. As the provincial policy of free land grants had come to an end, Strachan lobbied for and secured an Act from the British Parliament granting authority to sell up to one-fourth of all reserve lands, up to  each year, from which there would be income sufficient to support 200300 Anglican clergymen.

In 1836, before Sir John Colborne was succeeded by Sir Francis Bond Head as lieutenant-governor, he created 57 rectories for the Church of England, with glebe land totalling . This action created significant political dissent, and was subsequently declared illegal in 1837, but was later held in 1856 to have been lawful. In the interim, it became one of the issues in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 (and subsequently identified as such in the 1838 report written by Lord Durham), where William Lyon Mackenzie exclaimed to the crowd outside Montgomery's Tavern:

The Parliament of Upper Canada passed a bill to sell the reserves in 1840, but the Governor General reserved the bill for consideration by the British government, which disallowed the bill. The British then enacted the Clergy Reserves in Canada Act 1840 later in that year. Although considered to be more favourable to the Church of England, the Act as passed provided that only one-half of future sales would be dedicated on a 2:1 basis to the Churches of England and Scotland, with the remaining half being distributed to all other churches according to their respective strengths. The administration of the reserve lands was transferred to the Crown Lands Department, where it was handled in a more professional manner.

Lower Canada

Unlike the distribution of lots that was pursued by Simcoe in Upper Canada, Alured Clarke, lieutenant-governor of Lower Canada, instituted a policy of setting aside large blocks of land apart from either current or contiguous settlement.

The Clergy Corporation in Lower Canada, more formally known as the "Corporation for Superintending, Managing and Conducting the Clergy Reserves within the Province of Lower-Canada", was constituted with the Bishop of Quebec (initially the Right Rev. Jacob Mountain) as perpetual Principal and Director, and with rectors of four parishes within the diocese constituted as perpetual directors. In 1828, a British parliamentary committee reported that leases were being granted on certain terms:

The reserve lands generated little income in Lower Canada, with the average annual profit from such activity amounting to only £3 between 1791 and 1837.

Abolition
Pressure arose to reform the entire structure of the reserves, but the government of Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine chose not to proceed on such a course, because of the resistance of the established churches and the roadblocks presented by the 1791 Act. However, such caution eventually came to be seen as inflexibility, which would be overcome by the rise of the Grit movement in 1850.

Even as late as 1853, Strachan was still campaigning to ensure the Church of England's dominance in the matter. As he stated in a letter to Lord Newcastle:

Following the victory of Augustin-Norbert Morin and Allan MacNab in the 1854 general election, in conjunction with the abolition of seigneurial tenure in Lower Canada, the lands were finally removed from church control and secularized under an Act of the Parliament of the Province of Canada, under which:

 sales and other revenues from the reserves were constituted as separate funds dedicated to municipal purposes in Upper and Lower Canada, and
 recipients of stipends could cede their life claims to their respective churches, which could in turn commute the sums of such claims at 6% per annum.

Impact and aftermath
Reform of the Clergy Reserves was a major issue in Canadian politics from its creation until its abolition. The controversy stemmed from the fact that many supporters of the religious endowment were part of the Tory ruling class. Even Robert Baldwin, who was the leader of the struggle for Responsible Government did not advocate for complete abolition and chose to resign his seat rather than tackle the question.

In 1867, the Municipalities Funds for Upper and Lower Canada were declared to be part of the joint property of the new provinces of Ontario and Quebec, subject to division and adjustment at a later date by arbitrators appointed under s. 142 of the British North America Act, 1867. The funds were awarded to each province respectively in September 1870, and the award itself was held to be valid by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in March 1878. In Ontario, the Fund continued to be accounted for separately until the passage of an Act in 1908, where all special funds were declared to form part of the province's Consolidated Revenue Fund.
