how did the montgomery bus boycott end

The Montgomery Bus Boycott ended successfully on December 20, 1956, after lasting 381 days. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal district court ruling in November 1956 that declared Alabama's and Montgomery's bus segregation laws unconstitutional. Following this Supreme Court decision, Montgomery's bus system was officially desegregated, marking the end of the boycott. African American citizens then resumed riding the buses under the newly integrated system. This victory was a significant moment in the civil rights movement and brought Martin Luther King Jr. to national prominence as a leader.
