Answer:African Americans in Baton Rouge organized the first large-scale boycott of a southern city’s segregated bus system. When the leader of the boycott, Rev. T. J. Jemison, struck a deal with the city’s leadership after five days without gaining substantial improvements for black riders, many participants felt Jemison capitulated too quickly. However, the boycott made national headlines and inspired civil rights leaders across the South. Two and a half years later, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. conferred with Jemison about tactics used in Baton Rouge, and King applied those lessons when planning the bus boycott that ultimately defeated segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, and drew major media attention to the injustices of Jim Crow laws.

The Baton Rouge Bus Boycott did not end segregation on the buses, but it showed that peaceful, well-organized and supported grassroots protests could be effective in the Deep South. The system of ride-sharing provided a model that was used by the Rev. The new law reserved the first two seats on the bus for white people and the last two seats for African-Americans. People of any race could fill the seats in between. The Baton Rouge bus boycott had a large impact on both the Louisiana segregation laws and the American Civil Rights Movement.
