Rosa Parks - The Montgomery Bus boycott
Time: Sunday Dec 4, 1955
Place: Montgomery, Alabama, U.S.
Details: On Sunday, December 4, 1955, plans for the Montgomery bus boycott were announced at black churches in the area, and a front-page article in the Montgomery Advertiser helped spread the word. At a church rally that night, those attending agreed unanimously to continue the boycott until they were treated with the level of courtesy they expected, until black drivers were hired, and until seating in the middle of the bus was handled on a first-come basis.
