29 Jul 1957 Jahr - Montgomery Bus Boycott

Beschreibung:

The Montgomery bus boycott was a pivotal event in the Civil Rights Movement, lasting from December 5, 1955, to December 20, 1956. It began when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white passenger, sparking a citywide boycott of public transportation by African Americans. The boycott was organized by the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) and led by Martin Luther King Jr. The boycott, which was also supported by legal action, ultimately led to the desegregation of Montgomery's public bus system.
