Answer:

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was significant on several fronts. First, it is widely regarded as the earliest mass protest on behalf of civil rights in the United States, setting the stage for additional large-scale actions outside the court system to bring about fair treatment for African Americans.

Literally hit them where it hurt: their pocket.

About 80% of bus users were African Americans and they encouraged each other to boycott buses. Through their combined effort and shared hardships (walked longer distances and carpooled) they eventually achieved some civil rights: the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on buses was “unconstitutional”.

This shows that civil rights could be attained through boycotts.
