The alabama bus boycott was started when Rosa Parks was asked to get out of her seat for a white man. She had been sitting in the black section of the bus (buses were segregated), but the white section was full and when Parks was asked to move she kindly replied ,”no.” She was sent to jail and this infuriated the African Americans and they decided to boycott the buses. They went for 382 days without riding the bus, and finally Rosa Parks was let out of jail, and Jim Crow Laws (legal name for segregation) were “kicked off” the bus.
