In 1955, a simple act of defiance by Rosa Parks ignited a historic protest against racial discrimination in public transportation. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a 381-day boycott of the buses in Montgomery, Alabama, by thousands of African Americans who demanded equal rights and dignity. The boycott was led by Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists, and faced violent opposition from white supremacists. The boycott ended in 1956, when the Supreme Court declared bus segregation unconstitutional, marking a major victory for the civil rights movement. In this video, we’ll explore the causes, events, and outcomes of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and how it inspired generations of people to fight for justice and freedom.
