Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man on December 1, 1955. As a consequence, the African-American community of Montgomery, Alabama, boycotted the Montgomery City Bus Lines from December 5, 1955 until December 20, 1956. The boycott ended when the District Court ordered the buses integrated on the basis of the US Supreme Court's decision in Browder v. Gayle, (1956) declaring segregation in public transportation unconstitutional.
