Montgomery bus boycott
After Rosa Parks was arrested on Dec.1, 1955, for refusing to let a white passenger take her seat on a Montgomery, AL, bus, African Americans began a prolonged boycott of the bus company by walking or carpooling for more than a year. On Dec. 21, 1956, black passengers once again rode Montgomery City Lines. The Boycott is represented by a detail from "Walking," a 1958 painting by Charles Alston.
