How did African Americans cause the desegregation of buses in Montgomery?

1 Answer

Answer :

Nothing worked until Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. The NAACP, organized black people to boycott the busses. The blacks walked and arranged rides rather then ride the bus. The U.S Supreme Court then ended the bus segregation, which led to more protests to end other segregation between blacks and whites.
