Hello ,
On this day in history, December 5, 1955, the Montgomery Bus Boycott kicked off, sparked by the courageous act of Rosa Parks.
Rosa Parks, an African American seamstress, refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery bus. Her act of civil disobedience was a catalyst for change.
The African-American community, led by figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded with a boycott of the city’s buses, demanding an end to racial segregation in public transportation.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted for 381 days, and its success marked a significant victory against segregation, laying the groundwork for the broader Civil Rights Movement.\xa0
