The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a political and social protest campaign started in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama intended to oppose the city's policy of racial segregation on its public transit system. The ensuing struggle lasted from December 5, 1955 to December 21, 1956 and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses unconstitutional.

There was a time when Whites sat in the front of the bus and everyone else sat in the back. If you were a minority,you paid your fare at the front door ,got off, and got on at the back door.
One evening a woman named Rosa Parks was going home and refused to give up her seat to a White man. She was arrested and booked. She also happened to be a secretary for the NAACP.
A protest was organized to voice the disapproval of the bus line's policy towards seating. arrangementsnot only for Blacks but all minorities. For more than a year,no Blacks rode the bus and hurt the bus lines in the wallet.
This led Presidet John F. Kennedy to change the laws concerning admission and seating on buses,trains,restaurants,theatres and anywhere the general public assembles for entertainment or conveyance.

it began in 1955- I believe encouraged by M.L.king who was outraged over the Rosa Parks incident. Since the majority of commuters were Black, the city suffered greatly because of the refusal of most to ride the buses. They either carpooled or walked long distances to work. This led to a law which allowed Black and Whites equal rights on buses.

The incident was a turning people for civil rights, Ms. Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a white man or woman. She was arrested, then a young man named Martin Luther King was her legal counsel. She not only help black people but all minorities like asian to fight for their rights on earth as a human being.
