The Montgomery Bus Boycott.

As a political and social protest against the unjust ways Blacks were being unfairly treated, MLK, Jr. organized a mass boycott of the bus system--a system largely used by Blacks. It had crippling affects on the bus system and was eventually ended a little over a year later.
