Today in History: The Montgomery Bus Boycott On December 5, 1955, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, uniting a community to demand justice. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led with a clear vision, stating, “The bus boycott is not aimed at putting the bus company out of business but at putting justice in business.” Today, we honor this legacy by continuing to stand for justice through nonviolence. #MontgomeryBusBoycott #MLK #TheKingCenter #Nonviolence365
