Which detail best supports the inference that a boycott is an effective method to create change in a society?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott
As a result of Ms. Parks' arrest, the NAACP and other activists staged the now-famous bus boycott. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., began organizing
the boycott Immediately, and soon fliers were being sent around Montgomery. His call to action resulted in African Americans walking or
carpooling rather than paying the fares of the Montgomery bus system. Since 70% of the city's bus ridership was made up of African Americans,
the bus system was hit hard financially.
Prompted by the activities in Montgomery, the United States Supreme Court put an end to the bus segregation laws. On November 13, 1956, It
struck down the laws in not only Montgomery, but all of Alabama, stating that these laws violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the US
Constitution. On December 20, 1956, the Montgomery buses were finally desegregated. The boycott had lasted 381 days.
