The Bus Boycott was inspired by Rosa Parks, when on 1 December 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, she was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man because she was tired, and her feet hurt.
It began on Monday 5 December 1955, and ended on December 20, 1956, 381 days, or nearly 13 months, later.
It was started by the Montgomery Improvement Association (M.I.A) which Martin Luther King Jr. was president of at the time. It was Martin Luther King's first Black Rights job.

The boycott ended December 20, 1956, after the Supreme Court declared segregation in public transportation unconstitutional and the District Court issued an order mandating desegregation of the city buses.
