"The Montgomery Bus Boycott" by Martin Gitlin explores the pivotal civil rights protest that began in December 1955. Sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man, the boycott marked a watershed moment in the struggle against racial segregation in America. The book details the organization and determination of African Americans in Montgomery, led by figures like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who emerged as a prominent leader. Through this nonviolent resistance, the boycott aimed to dismantle systemic racism, ultimately leading to a Supreme Court ruling that declared bus segregation unconstitutional, paving the way for greater civil rights advancements.
