Supreme Court Rules Segregated Buses Unconstitutional: Montgomery Won
The Supreme Court struck down Alabama's bus segregation laws, mandating the immediate desegregation of public transit in Montgomery and validating over a year of nonviolent protest. This ruling dismantled legal barriers to equality on Southern buses, setting a direct precedent that accelerated the broader civil rights movement across the nation.
