Answer 1

What caused the change in Montgomery's bus laws and the end of segregation in buses was:

B. Black citizens refused to ride city buses.

The Bus Boycott:

• The Bus Boycott in Montgomery was a peaceful protest by African Americans who suffered with segregation. Bus seats were separated, some being destined for white riders, some for black.

• However, if the bus was full and a white rider entered, a black person was forced, by law, to give away their seat for that white person to sit.

• African Americans decided to stop taking city buses. Since they were the majority, the bus companies felt the economic impact of the boycott.

• Thanks to the boycott, a federal court decided to end segregation in buses.
