When Rosa Parks was arrested on a bus in Montgomery Alabama on December 5, 1955, a meeting was held by local civil rights leaders who formed a group to organize and support a bus boycott in Montgomery. They also selected local minister, Rev. Marting Luther King, Jr. to lead that group. King successfully lead that boycott and went on to lead other civil rights movements, eventually sacrificing his life for that cause. He helped Ms. Parks with his efforts in the same way that he helped all Americans by systematically making segregation and discrimination illegal.
