Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders organized challenges to segregation in the 1940s-1950s. This included Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in 1943 which sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and student sit-ins at segregated lunch counters in Greensboro in 1960 to protest racial discrimination. The boycott and sit-ins met with opposition but were ultimately successful at drawing attention to the injustices of segregation policies.
