In 1955, Rosa Parks, a black woman, was arrested for not giving up her seat on a bus. As a result of this, MLK and the NAACP organized a protest in Montgomery, Alabama where people boycotted the bus. This led to transportation rights and was when MLK became first known.
When people couldn’t use buses, they instead resorted to cars or walking.
The black buses were empty because of the protests.
Rosa Parks was arrested just for not giving up her seat.
