Some reputable sources make the argument that “…the gains of the Montgomery Bus Boycott were small compared with the gains blacks would later win…” In essence, this is true. However, such an argument<span> does not acknowledge the true significance of the Bus Boycott. Obviously the greatest success in the movement was the passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. However, with</span><span>out incidents <span>like the Boycott, the movement it<span>self may never have ex<span>isted in the first place. It<span> took<span> place very early in the civil rights period, and <span>was <span>highly prominent in the garnering of national attenti<span>on <span>to the issue of Civil rights. Serving as a true 'kick-start<span>,' the Mo<span>ntgomery Bus Boy<span>cott <span>was the <span>spark needed to start a revolution.
