MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT
A boycott is a way of protesting, by not using a product or service in order to make a
change. The Montgomery bus boycott started
when Rosa Parks, got arrested for sitting at “the white section of the bus.
Many African Americans were angry about this…So in 1955 Martin Luther King Jr.stepped up as a leader.
Blacks in Montgomery refused to ride the busses for a year. The bus companies almost went broke because most of the
passengers were black. At the end bus companies allowed African Americans to sit
anywhere on the busses.
