The Montgomery bus boycott, organized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other Montgomery, Alabama clergy, may have influenced the US Supreme Court to review the case of Browder v. Gayle,(1956) and declare segregation in public transportation unconstitutional. The boycott, which was originally supposed to be a one-day protest of Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her seat to a white man, lasted until the US Supreme Court ruled on the issue, 381 days later.

The Supreme Court decision that allowed for the segregation of blacks in separate but equal facilities was Plessy v. Ferguson, decided in 1896. The Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, asserting that as long as the separate facilities for blacks and whites were equal, segregation did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This ruling legitimized state-sponsored segregation until it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
The decision that made segregation legal in the United States was the Supreme Court's ruling in the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing states to maintain laws that enforced racial segregation in public facilities. This ruling effectively legitimized discriminatory practices and laws that persisted for decades until they were challenged and overturned by later civil rights legislation and Supreme Court decisions, notably Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
One argument about segregation made by Thurgood Marshall before the Supreme Court was that African American students suffered damage from being treated differently.
The May 17,1954 Supreme Court decision banning segregation in schools effectively banned segregation in other public facilities although it took some time before integration in other areas was accomplished. On November 13, 1956 segregation on buses was ruled unconstitutional.
