The Montgomery bus boycott began in response to Rosa Parks' December 1, 1955 arrest for refusing to give her seat to a white man.

The original organizers were Jo Ann Robinson, an English instructor at Alabama State College and President of Montgomery's Women's Political Council, and E. D. Nixon, President of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP.

On December 4, they called a meeting of community leaders to discuss holding a one-day boycott of Montgomery City Lines, Inc., bus company. During the meeting, the group formed a new alliance, the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), to which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was elected Chairman and President. Dr. King subsequently became the leader of the civil rights action that lasted 381 days, resulting in a US Supreme Court ruling (Browder v. Gayle, (1956)) denouncing segregation as unconstitutional.

The boycott was originally intended to be a one-day protest, beginning and ending on December 5, 1955, but there was so much participation Martin Luther King and the other leaders decided to continue until the buses were integrated. The boycott ended December 20, 1956, after the Supreme Court declared segregation in public transportation unconstitutional and the District Court issued an order mandating desegregation of the city buses.

The Bus Boycott was inspired by Rosa Parks, when on 1 December 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, she was arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man because she was tired, and her feet hurt.

It began on Monday 5 December 1955, and ended on December 20, 1956, 381 days, or nearly 13 months, later.

It was started by the Montgomery Improvement Association (M.I.A) which Martin Luther King Jr. was president of at the time. It was Martin Luther King's first Black Rights job.

Absolutely it was. Not only was it the first time black people showed solidarity in their cause for civil rights, it was cripplingly expensive to the bus companies as most of their riders were black women taking the bus to mostly housekeeping-type jobs out in the "white" suburbs. White women, faced with having no domestic help that they were used to, were often reduced to going to collect their help, because the only alternative to the bus for many of the black women would be to walk. They had no cars. Whether the bus companies themselves applied political pressure I don't know, but faced with almost certain bankruptcy I would suspect they were lobbying long and hard.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a protest by the African-Americans about the buses in the Montgomery area.

The buses had a policy that white people sat at the front and African-Americans sat at the back. The African-Americans were angry because they couldn't walk through the White's 'zone' and that they had to pay at the front of the bus, get out of the bus and then get back in through a rear door. Sometimes the bus driver would drive away before they could get back in.

The start of it began when outrage occurred when Rosa Parks, an African-American woman, was arrested for not giving up her seat for a white man. (She was next to the window, so there was space).

African-American Leaders got together and said to the African-American population to boycott (not use) the buses for a day, but it was more of a success than they thought it would be. The boycott lasted for 381 days (a bit more than a year), until the US Supreme Court said segregation on buses is unconstitutional and ordered a change.

The Montgomery bus boycott began on December 5, 1955, four days after Rosa Parks' arrest for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man. Although the boycott was originally planned to last only one day, the organizers of the boycott, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., decided to extend it until the practice of public transportation segregation was outlawed. The boycott ended 381 days later, on December 20, 1956, the day the city of Montgomery received a court order demanding immediate integration of the buses.

The Montgomery bus boycott was caused when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. Because she refused, police came and arrested her. Soon after, Martin Luther King Jr. led a boycott against the public transportation system because it was unfair. Eventually the issue was brought to the supreme court and racial segregation on buses was deemed unconstotutional. Soon after,King was seen sharing a bus seat with Rev. Glen Smiley, a white man.
