What major civil rights event involved a bus boycott initiated by Georgia activists?

The Montgomery Bus Boycott is a pivotal event in the civil rights movement that was initiated primarily in Montgomery, Alabama, but it had strong ties to activists from Georgia and other parts of the South. Sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks in December 1955 for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person, the boycott was organized by local civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., who was inspired to take action against racial segregation in public transportation.

The boycott lasted over a year, demonstrating the economic power of African Americans and their collective resistance to segregation. It resulted in a Supreme Court ruling that declared segregation on public buses unconstitutional, marking a significant victory in the fight for civil rights. While the other options represent significant events in the civil rights movement, they do not directly relate to a bus boycott initiated by Georgia activists in the same way that the Montgomery Bus Boycott does.
