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.
