It was a boycott of the Montgomery, Alabama (not Memphis) bus system after Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955. The incident touched off a year long boycott of the bus system by the Black citizens of Montgomery. This created a lot of hardship for them because many of them had no cars and their only means of getting to work, school, and shopping was by bus. In December 1956 the Supreme Court declared Alabama's bus segregation laws unconstitutional.

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.

It lasted for 5 years. It started in 1965 and ended in 1970.
The reason the Montgomery bus boycott lasted more than a year, from December 5, 1955 until December 20, 1956, is that the city refused to integrate buses until the US Supreme Court declared its policy was unconstitutional in the case of Browder v. Gayle,(1956). Although the Court's decision was released on November 13, 1956, the city didn't desegregate until it was served with a court order on December 20.
