SynopsisIn 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Brown v. Board of Education case that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, but in Montgomery, Alabama, segregation remained the way of life, especially on the buses. Not only were black citizens forced to sit in the back of the bus, they were frequently the victims of abuse and humiliation. When Rosa Parks, a modest black woman, was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, civil rights activists decided to use her case as a rallying point, and quickly urged all black citizens of Montgomery to boycott the buses. More than 90 percent complied. Soon, a charismatic, young preacher named Martin Luther King Jr. was selected to lead the strike, and the Civil Rights movement began. But the white authorities in Montgomery held desperately to power, battling the strikers in the courts and on the streets. Inspired by King and determined to demand equality, the black people of Montgomery refused to back down, or be intimidated by anything thrown at them, whether it was fines, beatings, arrests, or bombs.
