Beschreibung:

After Rosa Parks' arrest on the bus, many African Americans decided to boycott Montgomery buses and other businesses. When these businesses noticed a decrease in profits, they decided to turn to the Federal Court for help. The police sheriff of Montgomery tried to fight against it, but eventually the buses were desegregated. - Source: Cavendish, Richard. “Alabama Bus Segregation Ended.” History Today, History Today, Ltd., 11 Nov. 2006, www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/alabama-bus-segregation-ended.
