The people of Montgomery, in response to unfair treatment, organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began in December 1955 after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger. This boycott was a strategic and collective action led by civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., to protest racial segregation on public buses. The community supported the boycott by carpooling and walking, demonstrating their commitment to ending discriminatory practices. Ultimately, the boycott lasted over a year and led to a Supreme Court ruling that declared segregation on public buses unconstitutional.
