Montgomery bus boycott: What to know
Fox News
The Montgomery bus boycott was a large civil rights demonstration that saw African Americans in the Alabama city refuse to ride public buses in protest of segregated seating.
The boycott ended on Dec. 20, 1956, and led to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. Former Olympian John Carlos and former NFL player Jack Brewer join Harris Faulkner on 'The Faulkner Focus.' The boycott was a defining moment in the civil rights movement and helped thrust Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to nonviolent resistance into the spotlight.More Related News
