Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as a leader of the civil rights movement during the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. This was a pivotal moment in the movement, as it brought national attention to the issue of racial segregation on public transportation and established nonviolent protest as a powerful tool for achieving social change. While King was involved in many other important moments in the civil rights movement, including the March on Washington, D.C., it was his leadership during the Montgomery bus boycott that first brought him to national prominence.
