Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott - 9781420500103

Rosa Parks, one the most notable icons of the Civil Rights Movement, is widely remembered for refusing to give up her seat to a white person on December 1, 1955, on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Her action of peaceful defiance resulted in her subsequent arrest and inspired the Montgomery bus boycott, a year-long boycott of the public transit system in Montgomery by African Americans. Her bravery, along with the actions of hundreds of protesters around the nation, sparked events that would lead to the passing of seminal civil rights legislation regarding segregation. This necessary volume traces the history of the Montgomery bus boycott, from December 1, 1955, to December 20, 1956, when the Supreme Court's decision for desegregation of buses took effect.
