The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision declaring segregation on Montgomery, Alabama city buses unconstitutional. This landmark decision followed the historic Montgomery Bus Boycott, sparked by Rosa Parks’ arrest in December 1955.
? Federal injunctions enforcing desegregation were served on December 20, 1965, officially ending the year-long boycott. That same day, Montgomery’s Black community held mass meetings to call off the boycott, marking a major victory in the Civil Rights Movement.
