Two years before the highly publicized Montgomery Bus Boycott, civil rights leaders staged an organized boycott of the segregated municipal bus system in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

In the year 1953, the first large scale boycott of a municipal bus system was organised. This bus system discriminated against the people of the black community.

The eighty percent riders of that bus were the black people but because of the segregation, they could only sit on the back seats of the bus or had to stand. Some times they were not allowed to sit in the bus also because of the discrimination against them.
