What year did the Montgomery Bus Boycott begin?

The Montgomery Bus Boycott began in 1955, following the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus. This event acted as a catalyst for the civil rights movement in the United States, mobilizing African Americans in Montgomery, Alabama, to protest against racial segregation in public transportation. The boycott lasted for over a year and was a pivotal moment that highlighted the struggles for racial equality and ultimately led to a Supreme Court ruling declaring segregation on public buses unconstitutional. This successful protest galvanized further civil rights actions across the country, making 1955 a significant year in the struggle against racial discrimination.
