Why was Martin Luther King arrested?

Answer 1

On January 26, 1956 Dr. King was arrested during a sit-in at a restaurant, waiting to be served when the restaurant did not serve African Americans. On February 21, 1956 Dr. King was indicted with other figures in the Montgomery bus boycott on the charge of being party to a conspiracy to hinder and prevent the operation of business without just or legal cause.

Answer 2

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested in 1956 as part of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott was a reaction to the Rosa Parks incident of 1955. At one point, Dr. King's house was bombed. The incident was closed by the US District Court in the decision of Browder v. Gayle, which ended racial segregation on Montgomery Buses. See the Related Link below for more information.
