What were the short and long-term effects of Montgomery bus boycott on American culture?
Short term: The success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott included raising the spotlight on Martin Luther King Jr., who had been a big help in organizing the boycott. Additionally, when the African-American population in Tallahassee, Florida saw how monumental the Montgomery Bus Boycott turned out to be, they decided to give it a try. They're boycott lasted from May 27, 1956 to March of 1958. Long term: This one is a little more obvious. African-Americans now have the same rights as any white person in the United states, and racism is not the way it was in the 50's and 60's, although it is still around.

What did the Montgomery bus boycott accomplish?
Well, first of all it allowed black and white americans to be equal whilst on the bus. Before they were not allowed to sit where they wanted, and if a white person came they had to move. However, after the bus boycott all this stopped. I ought to know. I am a history teacher ;-) Love ya guys Helda
