The Montgomery Bus Boycott
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was one of the major events in history and one of the most successful boycotts in history. The event took place in December 5th 1955-December 20th 1956. It started when Rosa Parks was arrested when she wouldn’t give up her seat to a white person. She was the 3rd person to be arrested for not giving her seat up.
After that the black community made an organization called Montgomery Improvement Association. The black community elected Martin Luther King Jr. as the president of the association. Later that night Martin Luther King was informed about Rosa Parks’ arrest. King launched a protest against the government by telling people to not ride buses. He was mad about the African American discrimination.
