She was not the only one asked to move but was the only one who didn't comply with the driver's request. This is when many African Americans felt strongly that segregation on public transportation needed to be eliminated.]]> 2018-11-05 14:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/300500342 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/300509189 In June 1956, segregation on buses was declared unconstitutional. The ruling was upheld in the middle of November and the decision went into effect in December of 1956. This ruling involved the 14th amendment which was adopted after the Civil War (1861-1865). African Americans felt documentation like this that had been around for a long time was not being upheld through the acts of segregation.]]> 2018-11-05 15:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/300509189 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/300517014 -Britannica, The Editors of Encyclopaedia. “Montgomery Bus Boycott.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., 28 Feb. 2018, www.britannica.com/event/Montgomery-bus-boycott.

African Americans spread the word for others to find alternative modes of transportation for the day. This included walking, carpooling, and taking a cab which cost the same as the bus and people of all races were charged the same rate. The first day was such a success that they decided to keep it going and it ended up lasting 381 days.]]> 2018-11-05 15:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/300527533 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301316980 The Montgomery Improvement Association(MIA) was formed as a result of the bus boycott.

The success of the boycott helped spark motivation in communities to pursue other actions regarding civil rights. Along with other measures, the Montgomery Bus Boycott helped bring national attention to the civil rights movement.]]> 2018-11-07 03:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301317983 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301319197 Although integration was more prominent after the bus boycott, it came with a great price. The KKK took more violent actions as African Americans were gaining more rights. The violent actions included shootings and bombings. Several KKK members were arrested which brought significant relief from violence brought on by the bus boycott.]]> 2018-11-07 03:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301319197 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301444183 E.D Nixon and Jo Ann Robinson who were  local civil rights leaders handed out papers regarding the bus boycott following Parks' arrest.

Jo Ann Robinson was was a leader of the Women's Political Council(WPC).
Martin Luther King Jr. was a pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and became president of the MIA as a result of the boycott.

Within the actions of the bus boycott, the African American community wanted to see all races given opportunity to drive for the bus companies and have seating be dependent on whoever is there first. In the end, they realized the integration in the bus system was going to be their end goal.]]> 2018-11-07 13:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301482004 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301503307 2018-11-07 14:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301503307 krm62401 https://padlet.com/krm62401/nuvzeopeizao/wish/301505848 December 1, 1955:Rosa Parks is arrested
December 5, 1955:One-day bus boycott occurs
June 5, 1956:Federal Court declared bus segregation unconstitutional
December 20, 1956:Federal decision goes into effect
