How Did The Montgomery Bus Boycott Impact The Civil Rights Movement

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was one of the most important and outrageous events in American history. The boycott permitted black people to protest peacefully without causing any troubles. Therefore because Rosa Parks and other important leaders protested bus segregation in Montgomery Alabama, African Americans earned little freedom and incentivize the civil rights movement. “The boycott lasted till the end of 1956, the court ruling deemed segregation on public transportation unconstitutional”.(Rosa Parks and The Montgomery Bus Boycott)

The boycott commence by a simple misunderstanding between a African American citizen and a bus driver. On December 1 of 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for not offering her seat to a white passenger on her way home

As the boycott continued, African americans decide they won't get on any of the buses until all of the problems were settled. Because of this most bus drivers weren't making much. Their businesses were dropping. Most African Americans when on strike. All of the NAACP leaders when to court because of what was happening to black people and the court favored them. This was when Martin Luther King became involved in all of this. He became the head and all the people liked and favored him because he was not violent and he was always seeking for the rights of his people(studyit). Most of Montgomery White leaders continued to seek ways to end the boycott. Dr.King enform Community that the carpool will continued to operate.”In face of a threatening injunction, ‘king said, “the negro community is determined to struggle and sacrifice until the walls of injustice are finally crushed by the battering rams of surging justice(Lydia). “We are simply offering free rides to the negro citizenry of Montgomery through the services of our church(lydia).” During the ruling, white leaders in montgomery said that if anyone integrate the buses there would likely be a result in violence. Montgomery white citizens’ council predicted that “any attempt to enforce his decision will inevitably lead to riot and bloodshed(Lydia),.” The civil rights activist brought barriers to equal rights. Their long fight finally succeeded in the US Congress, that passed landmark legislation in the 1960s. Their fight for civil rights continued throughout the 1960s. This fight was also won in the courtroom. Brown v. board of education won the fights against discrimination. Court around the world didn't agree with whites who violated African American rights. Even though the boycott did not succeed without a act of defiance by Rosa parks. It wouldn't have succeeded without all the dedications of all the civil rights
