Why did the Montgomery bus boycott last so long?

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.

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.
