Overall Concept
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was the first win for the Civil Rights Movement in the US after the US Supreme Court declared that segregation was against the law in the city. The city had to take steps to begin full integration. The bus boycott allowed African Americans in the city of Montgomery as well as other cities to ride as equals in buses and public transportation. The Montgomery Bus Boycott brought Martin Luther King, Jr. to the forefront and he became a well known figure across the country. In addition, the boycott started a revolution in the country that laid the foundation for people of all color to be treated equally.
The foundation that it laid symbolizes how the Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott was a turning point in history.
My Thoughts
Rosa Parks arrest and the Montgomery Bus Boycott results could be considered the roots of the Civil Rights Movement due to the fact that they directed further efforts to eliminate segregation throughout Alabama, the South, and The United States. In fact, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led to the Tallahassee Bus Boycott which lasted from May 27, 1956 to March of 1958. This event helped many more people to realize that standup for their personal rights is okay to do because in the long run, what you're fighting for will soon be yours.
