The Montgomery Bus Boycott officially began on December 5, 1955, four days after an African-American activist, Rosa Parks, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person. The boycott, which was originally supposed to be a one-day event, lasted for over year, as Black residents of Montgomery walked to work instead of taking the bus and eventually organized a complex system of carpools to help Black residents to get to where they needed to go. A local ministers group selected the new, young minister of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church to lead the Montgomery Improvement Association, the organization tasked with organizing the boycott. Through his successful leadership, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. became the voice of the growing civil rights movement throughout the South.
