The Civil Rights leaders met that evening to talk about a boycott against segregation on the bus.

One of the events during this time period was the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It was considered a major turning point as Rosa Parks - a seamstress worker and member of the NAACP refused to move from the segregated area of the bus, causing outrage throughout the black community. King organized a protest where for 381 days people refused to use the buses. As a result the bus companies of Montgomery lost masses of money which emphasized the importance of the black community, and the powerful influence that King had within America as he was able to lead them to success showing the effectiveness of non-violent protest. However, there were limitations of the bus boycott; the campaign lasted from December 1, 1955 to December 20, 1956 when a federal ruling, Browder v. Gayle, took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to be unconstitutional.

Both of these are signs of schizophrenia) I have to say that the man was a hero in one aspect.
