No, Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. was not part of the Montgomery bus boycott. The Montgomery bus boycott was a civil rights protest that occurred in Montgomery, Alabama, from 1955 to 1956, led by activists such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. Reverend Wright, on the other hand, is a retired pastor from Chicago who gained attention for his controversial sermons in the 2000s.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested in 1956 as part of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott was a reaction to the Rosa Parks incident of 1955. At one point, Dr. King's house was bombed.

What were the affects on America after bus boycott?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott, a seminal episode in the U.S. civil rights movement, was a political and social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation on the public transit system of Montgomery, Alabama. The campaign lasted from December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person, to December 20, 1956, when a federal ruling, Browder v. Gayle, took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to be unconstitutional.[1] Many important figures in the civil rights movement took part in the boycott, including ReverendMartin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Abernathy.
What did the Montgomery bus boycott signs look like?
There weren't a lot of bus boycott signs because the protest was not so much a demonstration or picket as it was a refusal to patronize the bus line. The few signs photographed (see Related Links) said things like, "Remember we are fighting for a cause. Do not ride a bus today"; "Freedom can not include segregation"; "Segregation is unAmerican"; "Segregation must go"; and "We Protest." The signs were handmade because the boycott was organized so quickly. For the most part, the boycott looked like groups of people walking or riding in makeshift taxis instead of taking the bus, as they normally would, as well as nearly empty buses. Nearly 80% of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus passengers were African-American. The Related Links lead to photographs taken during the boycott, as well as a few pictures taken during active civil rights demonstrations to contrast the two forms of protest.
