What was the bus boycott?

It was a boycott of the Montgomery, Alabama (not Memphis) bus system after Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955. The incident touched off a year long boycott of the bus system by the Black citizens of Montgomery. This created a lot of hardship for them because many of them had no cars and their only means of getting to work, school, and shopping was by bus. In December 1956 the Supreme Court declared Alabama's bus segregation laws unconstitutional.
