The boycott of the bus company that tried to make Mrs Parks stand in a bus so a white person could have her seat (she refused) was begun by Dr Martin King. Almost all black people there in Montgomery, Alabama boycotted that bus company, and refused to ride their buses for a period of 381 days - more than a year.

The white people went on a rampage of harassing and injuring black people, including the bombing of Dr King's home.

Where was Rosa Parks going on the bus?

Rosa Parks was not sitting in the front of the bus. She was sitting in the back of the bus, in row 11, in the first row of seats of the "Black section." When the bus crowded with more Anglos and there were no more seats in the "White section" the bus driver told the African Americans in the first two rows of the "Black section" to move back to allow one Anglo male to sit down in two whole rows. After the bus drove off, Rosa Parks sat back down in the first two rows of seats in the "Black section." That was when the argument started which resulted in the arrest.
