A woman named Rosa Parks was arrested and treated badly by the Montgomery police. In 1955 women who rode the buses in Montgomery were arrested for refusing to give up their seats to white men and women. Another woman named Jo Ann Robinson made handbills and handed them out to college students, that handbill told people to stay off the buses for one whole day. Instead of staying on the buses for one day, Martin Luther King, Jr boycotted the buses for a whole year. People walked miles and miles to get to their job and school, just because the white people in Montgomery did not want to sit with black people on the front of the buses. In 1956 the supreme court ruled segregation on city buses.
