The Baton Rouge Bus Boycott ended on June 25, 1953, when the city council agreed to let black passengers sit in the front seat if there were not any white passengers sitting there. This was a major victory against Jim Crow laws in Louisiana. This proved African-Americans in Louisiana could eliminate segregation in Louisiana if they wanted to.'This bus boycott later served as a template for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. I find it interesting that a important step in the Civil Rights Movement started in my home town. It is even is even more interesting that most of the meeting places of this boycott happened in my material grandparents' neighborhood.
