|
|

### Local Government Pressure

The Montgomery city government lost a massive amount of tax money because the bus company nearly went bankrupt without the black passengers

|
|
||||||
|
### Federal Intervention

||||||
|
The boycott forced the national government and the Supreme Court to step in end segregation rather than leaving it to individual states
