Why did the Montgomery Bus Boycott succeed? US History
Terms in this set [13]
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was Successful because of the overwhelming power the black community had over the bus system, and the dedication they had towards this movement. According to documents A, B, and C, we are provided evidence that the bus facilities were three-fourths filled with African Americans, making them their main source of income and use. Because of the lack of the black community's presence in the bus facilities, they were not being used and losing a lot of money. The black community also proved that they are not dependent on the bus system, they were able to boycott the segregated bus system, while having multiple different ways of transportation. Another point, based off of documents D and E, the black community was also strong and stuck together throughout the hardship of the boycott movement. They showed strength in numbers and their dedication to have equal rights to whites.
