Rosa Parks' arrest on December 1, 1955, sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott because she became a powerful symbol of the Civil Rights Movement. Unlike previous cases, her act of defiance was part of a larger narrative of organized resistance and was supported by prominent leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. Additionally, the timing of her arrest coincided with growing civil rights activism and community readiness to challenge segregation, making it a catalyst for change. Parks' steadfast character and the strategic organization of the boycott galvanized the African American community to unite against racial injustice.
The boycott lasted from December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person, to December 20, 1956. That is 20 days.
MLK brought the idea up after Rosa Parks was arrested. To carry out that boycott for a year took real effort on the part of the African American community. They were the housekeepers and maids of the white well off of Montgomery and needed the busses to get to work. By boycotting the bus system they had to walk or find other ways to get to their jobs.
The Baton Rouge bus boycott was the first bus boycott staged in the United States in 1953. It lasted two weeks, and ended when the white and African American communities agreed on a compromise.
It was called the Montgomery bus boycott. The boycott was inspired by Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat to for a white man on December 1, 1955. African-Americans walked or rode in African-American-owned taxis from December 5, 1955, until the boycott ended on December 20, 1956.
