Summary of passage

In the 1950s, unfair laws in the southern United States segregated black people from white people, including on buses in Montgomery, Alabama. Rosa Parks sparked a movement for change by refusing to give up her seat to a white person and was arrested. The black community in Montgomery boycotted the buses until the unfair laws were changed, led by Martin Luther King Jr. The boycott lasted over a year, with people walking long distances and organizing carpools. In 1956, the Supreme Court ruled the segregation laws unconstitutional, marking the success of the boycott. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a significant event in the civil rights movement, inspiring others to fight for equality and justice.
