The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a nonviolent resistance started on December 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama. This social protest was led by Martin Luther King and it included the participation of all the black community in Montgomery. At first, black people stopped using the bus service and started  carpooling, they took taxis -for a lower price-,  they rode bicycles, they walked and they even rode mules to get to work. The Montgomery administration tried to stop these practices by fining people who would carpool and taxi drivers that charge less than usual,  Martin Luther King's house was even burned as well as some Baptists churches where black people gathered and discuss their protest strategies. At one point, Martin Luther King was charged with a $500 fine or 386 days in prison because of threatening the bus business, he gave himself and this attracted more attention to the protest that was happening in this city. As a result, in 1956 the United States Supreme Court declared the laws that prohibited black people to sit on the ten front seats of the buses were unconstitutional, and this led to more social protest about the segregation of black people in public and private facilities.
