The Montgomery bus boycott, organized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other Montgomery, Alabama clergy, may have influenced the US Supreme Court to review the case of Browder v. Gayle,(1956) and declare segregation in public transportation unconstitutional. The boycott, which was originally supposed to be a one-day protest of Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her seat to a white man, lasted until the US Supreme Court ruled on the issue, 381 days later.
