1. There is a deeper story to the Bus Boycott than originally conceived.
2. One not as well known figure of this Boycott was Jo Ann Robinson
3-5. Rosa Parks was well-educated and after her arrest, E.D Nixon and Parks worked to use her case to stop segregation on buses

7-9. As MLK became president of the group they continued the Boycott
10. The Boycott went on longer than people had originally expected
11. The private taxi plan was widely accepted
12-15. Fake news (haha) was spread by many white people as they bombed MLK and Nixon's homes to try and stop this movement
16-17. In the face of many challenges the Boycott continued.
18. The Black community took the case to the supreme court and the court ruled that segregation on buses was unconstitutional which ended the boycott.
