What was the mongomery bus boycott?
They decided to do this because Jo Ann Robinson was an African American. African Americans were not allowed to sit anywhere they wanted on the bus. When the bus was full and a white person got on they would make a black person get up and stand up for the ride or get off if it was too crowded. There was a sign on the bus that said colored people and it was placed in the back of the bus. All the seats behind that sign was for black people and there werent many. Everytime a white family got on the bus and there was no more seats the sign would move back until there was no more seats for the black people.All the black people were standing or there was no black people on the bus at all. Until the Rosa Parks came.

What would happen if people sat on the wrong side on the bus?
During the era when segregation dominated the south, it was illegal for black people to sit in the section of the bus reserved for white people. Black riders were generally expected to sit at the back of the bus. And if the bus was crowded and a white person needed to sit, blacks were expected to give up their seat to the white person. Failing to obey these rules could get the black person removed from the bus, or in some cases, subjected to arrest and a fine.
