Summary
This case study deals with the 1955-1956 protest of segregation on Montgomery city bus lines, which is traditionally treated as the "starting point" for the American civil rights movement. In the primary sources gathered here, the bus protest emerges as a crucial moment in the transformation of the civil rights struggle from an informal and regionally divided effort into an organized mass movement against Jim Crow segregation.
