Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955

One day in 1955 Claudette Colvin , a young girl, refused to give up her set to a white men in compliance with the Jim Crow laws. King immidiatly came into the case. Claudette was a poor pregnant girl unmerried. But this example wasn´t enought to go on with the Boycott. Sometime later another case appened, this time with Rosa Parks and she was even arrested! The Montegomery Bus Boycott was finally planed by Nixon and King. This lasted for one year and one month. But the situation become so tense that king was suffering the consequences of his intervention in this case. He was arrested and his house was fired.
However a campaign was formed and finally all the Montegomery public buses were working fairly for black people.
King was starting to come true his dream...
