The Montgomery Bus Boycott, initiated by Rosa Parks' arrest and led by Civil Rights leaders, was a successful protest against segregated buses that lasted over a year and resulted in a landmark Supreme Court ruling.The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a pivotal event in the American Civil Rights Movement. It began on December 5, 1955, the day after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Her arrest sparked a 381-day boycott of the bus system by the African American community, which ended on December 20, 1956, after a Supreme Court decision declared segregated buses unconstitutional. Influential Civil Rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ralph Abernathy played significant roles in the boycott's success.Rosa Parks was already a respected member of the African American community and the NAACP when she took a stand against bus segregation. Her actions followed those of others like high school student Claudette Colvin, but Parks' arrest became the catalyst for the boycott. Organized by the Women's Political Council and supported by the local NAACP, the Montgomery Improvement Association, and other activists, the boycott demonstrated the economic power and solidarity of the African American citizens of Montgomery.The given question is incomplete the complete question isIt was unfair to segregate us. But neither the bus company nor the mayor nor the city commissioners would listen. I remember having discussions about how a boycott of the city buses would really hurt the bus company in its pocketbook. But I also remember asking a few people if they would be willing to stay off the buses to make things better for us, and them saying that they had too far to go to work. So it didn't seem as if there would be much support for a boycott.Which piece of information could probably only come from Rosa Parks's first-person narration of the story?Rosa Parks asked a few people if they were willing to boycott the buses....
