Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott

In December 1955 an African-American woman named Rosa Parks was arrested for refusal to surrender her seat to a white person on a Montgomery Alabama public bus.

The subsequent Montgomery bus boycott lasted from December 1955 to December 1956, when the federal ruling Browder v. Gayle led to a United States Supreme Court decision declaring the Alabama and Montgomery laws segregating buses were unconstitutional.
