Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rosa Parks began the Montgomery bus boycott on December 1, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus to a white passenger. Her arrest led to a coordinated effort by African Americans in Montgomery to boycott the buses in protest of segregation on public transportation. Martin Luther King, Jr., became involved and became a prominent leader during the boycott, but Parks is credited with starting the movement.
