He was arrested on charges of parading without a permit, disturbing the peace and obstructing the sidewalk. He refused to pay the fine and had expected to spend Christmas in jail. He hoped thousands would join him. He planned to stay a day or so and return home after giving counsel. But after seeing negotiations break down, he knew he had to stay.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Rosa Parks was a cause for the initiation of the boycott. At one point, Dr. King's house was bombed. Eventually, the United States District Court ruling of Browder v Gayle resulted in the end of racial segregation on Montgomery buses. See the Related Link below for more information.
