Right after the Montgomery Bus Boycott
in December 1955, the black leaders of the community began discussing the need
for a federal lawsuit to challenge the city of Montgomery and Alabama
segregation laws. On February 1, 1956, Browder vs. Gayle was filed in the U.S.
district court. In June 1956, the court ruled that "the enforced
segregation of white and black passengers on motor buses operating in the city of Montgomery violates the Constitution and law of the United States,"
because the conditions deprived people of equal protection under the 14th
amendment.
Our group believes that this event in America's history is truly the biggest turning point because of the fact that without the decision of Browder v. Gayle, our nation would not be as diverse in schools, public transportation, and also in workplaces if the the decision was not made. We found that it would be very difficult to imagine a segregated society in the present time. Now, there are many rules associated with racial inequality because of the decision of this case. This county would not be known as "The Land of the Free" if racial segregation still existed in the nation.
