Standing Up for Rights Sometimes Backfires
Sometimes, fighting for equal rights can backfire when met with resistance. Initiating a bus boycott led by Martin Luther King in Montgomery, Alabama aggravated people and did not immediately bring about change. The NAACP's legal action through a Supreme Court decision eventually ended segregation on buses. Despite initial progress, two years later, black people were voluntarily sent to the back of the bus again due to white intimidation. This historical account sheds light on the complexities and challenges of fighting for civil rights.
