=Montgomery Bus Boycott=

December 1st, 1955
//Political and Social Protest Campaign//

The segegration of city buses between the black and white have been the main problem that made inequality between those two. The African Americans were forced to sit at the back and fill it up to the front. The black were not supposed to sit at same rows with the white. Sometimes bus driver pulled away so the black cant reboard into the bus.

In 1955 the Blacks from Montgomery Alabama started to protest against the Bus Segegration. They were boycotting busses and decided to keep doing it until they're allowed to sit wherever they want. There are a lot of cases about some of the black people who protest against the rules on the buses. For example Jo Ann Robinson who decided to sat on the front of the bus, where she not supposed to. The bus driver scream at her and make her ran off and cried. Another cases is about Rosa Park who refused to gave her seat to a white man and as a result she was arrested. E.D Nixon who is a labor activist lead the action against segegration of city buses, he also bailed Parks out of jail. After the case of Rosa Park was done, some of the black leaders formed Montgomerey improvement association and elected Martin Luther King as the President. Arround 1955-56, Montgomery improvement association made a 'private taxi' plan as a response towards the segegration. They work with a black man who own cars to pick up other blacks and drop them at a designated point. On February 1956, King and 90 other people were arrested for conspiring to boycot the city buses. However, his trial and conviction made a lot of attention to the nation and made him as a figure to a lot of people. In June 1956, the Supreme Court declared that segregation is moraly bad and unconstitutional, which made the segregation ended on December 20, 1956.
