# The Montgomery Bus Boycott
|
||||
[Back to main]()
|

|

## Legal Victories
|
||||
|
||||
### Browder vs Gayle
|
||||
This was the specific lawsuit created by 5 women who were mistreated on buses to try and stop the city's segregation laws directly. The Supreme Court eventually declared bus segregation unconstitutional, officially ending the 381-day boycott
|
||||
|
||||
### Brown vs Board of Education
|
||||
This case ruled that "separate but equal" schools were unequal and unconstitutional in public schools. It was used to argue that segregation should also be illegal on public transport
