MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a political and social protest campaign started in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, intended to oppose the city's policy of racial segregation on its public transit system. Many historically significant figures of the civil rights movement were involved in the boycott, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, and others, as listed below. The boycott resulted in a crippling financial deficit for the Montgomery public transit system, because the city's black population who were the drivers of the boycott were also the bulk of the system's ridership. The ensuing struggle lasted from December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person, to December 20, 1956 when a federal ruling took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to be unconstitutional.[

@Ebdan88 I agree with your argument,we're being posioned,though air,water,food and popular culture.However,I'm white,I understand the problems and I try to spread truth to who ever I speak to.Part of destroying evil is loving everyone;we are all human beings and part of an infinate beautiful consciousness,whether we are black or white.I'd simply say the average person is dumbed down,but not as many as you might think:society is designed to divide and separate us, and we must fight agaist this.

The average White man is so dum down that they have never understood, and never will. Black people have big harts. I tell you if other places in the world people have done something about the EVIL. When they poisen your water, your air, they put sickness in society so miljons will die, and they have never tried to stop it. How dum down and Creasy is that!!? So dum down they are that they look down at people who tell them the Throuth....!!?
