Montgomery Bus Boycott

The Civil Rights Movement challenged segregation on public transport. In 1955, activist Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, to a white man. Her arrest led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the end of transport segregation in America. It also propelled Martin Luther King into the media spotlight.
