On this day in 1955, the Montgomery bus boycott began in Alabama. It was 4 days after Rosa Parks was arrested for her bus protest (https://mas.to/@markwyner/111508079135404554).

The boycott lasted 380 days, ending in a federal ruling (Browder v Gayle) that segregation on buses was unconstitutional.
