After the Boycott
Integrating the Montgomery buses did not go smoothly. There was a lot of violence, but eventually it subsided. "Black people were not going to be scared off the buses any more than they were going to be scared onto them when they refused to ride." African Americans in other U.S. cities such as Birmingham, Alabama and Tallahassee, Florida started their own boycotts of segregated buses.
After the boycott, Rosa's life was constantly threatened. In 1957, Rosa and her husband moved to Detroit, Michigan. In 1958, Rosa got the news the Martin Luther King, Jr., a dear friend, had been stabbed at a book signing and was in critical condition. He did eventually recover.
Rosa traveled, speaking about civil rights and the boycott.
