Montgomery Bus Boycott

  • Discussion Questions, Handout, Interactive Lesson, Lesson Plan
Most textbooks and children’s books about the boycott emphasize the second ingredient – the catalytic leadership of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks – leaving out not only the other critical elements, but, most importantly, the role of the thousands of Montgomery residents who boycotted public transportation for over a year. In this activity, students will act as organizers and learn about many of the challenges faced by a group who sustained a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, for 381 days. The activity typically takes five to seven class periods. While it is designed for middle school students, high school teachers can successfully modify this lesson for the upper grades by making the decision-making process less structured.
