The Montgomery bus boycott triggered the national civil rights movement in the United States. This boycott was the first-ever mass-action during the civil rights era and inspired other civil rights activists throughout the nation. After a period of 11 months, the United States' Supreme Court ruled the policy of segregation to be illegal.
