What was the mongomery bus boycott?

They decided to do this because Jo Ann Robinson was an African American. African Americans were not allowed to sit anywhere they wanted on the bus. When the bus was full and a white person got on they would make a black person get up and stand up for the ride or get off if it was too crowded. There was a sign on the bus that said colored people and it was placed in the back of the bus. All the seats behind that sign was for black people and there werent many. Everytime a white family got on the bus and there was no more seats the sign would move back until there was no more seats for the black people.All the black people were standing or there was no black people on the bus at all.

Black people could only sit in the back seats of the bus and when Rosa Parks sat in the front, the police came immediately and arrested her.
