Montgomery Bus Boycott: End
built 629 days ago
By this point, some members of Montgomery's business community were becoming frustrated with the boycott, which was costing them thousands of dollars because blacks were less likely to shop in downtown stores. Although they were as opposed to integration as the next white Montgomery resident, they realized that the boycott was bad for business and therefore wanted the boycott to end. They formed a group called the Men of Montgomery and tried negotiating directly with the boycotters. Eventually... these discussions broke down, and the boycott continued.

The Montgomery bus boycott continued into 1956. Finally, in November of 1956, the US Supreme court declared that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional, and the boycott was brought to an end.

From day one, the bus boycott proved to be immediately successful. Leaders had anticipated about 60% of blacks to participate in the movement, but at the end of day one it was predicted that there was nearly 100% cooperation. People had utilized other ways of transportation such as walking, using cabs, getting rides in private cars and some even rode mules to work.
