The Montgomery bus company lost money due to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began in December 1955 after Rosa Parks' arrest. During the boycott, a large number of African Americans in Montgomery refused to use the buses, leading to a significant drop in ridership and revenue. The prolonged nature of the boycott, lasting over a year, severely impacted the company's finances, ultimately forcing it to reconsider its segregation policies.
lots of money
they dont like the boycott
More than you make in a year buddy
The African American citizens of Montgomery walked to work and other places for a year and the bus company was loosing money not having them as passengers. The company gave in, the law was changed, and African Americans were allowed to sit anywhere on the bus. Violence is not needed for change. Just the people and purpose that want change.
I too am having the same problem. SPent the good part of an hour pouring through every book I own and trolling the internet. The best I found was "The Montgomery Bus Company". does anyone have any statistics on the impact the boycott had on the bus company?
just because
They lost the bus money.
