The Montgomery Bus Boycott:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was sparked when Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat up to a white man. This event led to a year-long boycott of the city's buses by African Americans, which ultimately resulted in the desegregation of public transportation in Montgomery, Alabama. Thurgood Marshall played a role in the civil rights movement but was not directly involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and the boycott did not mark the end of the civil rights movement or last less than two weeks.
