Black communities even organized a carpool so every African American could get to their destination, instead of having to take the bus; which led to the decision declaring bus segregation unconstitutional. The demonstration challenged the policy of segregation on buses. On the day Parks was scheduled to appear in court, almost the entire black community did not ride the bus at all. The protest has hurt bus systems, as more African Americans ride buses than whites to get where they need to go. As a result, most bus revenues declined when black passengers stopped riding the bus until they gained the same rights as whites. On December 13, 1955, no African American blacks took the segregated bus, they carpooled, walked, canceled plans, or used any other means other than taking the bus to get to their destination. African Americans were trying to take the lead, to show how nonviolent their protest could be by marching and stopping taking the bus. After the three hundred and eighty-one day boycott, black bus passengers went to the Supreme Court to protest that it was not legal to separate blacks from whites on public transportation. So the Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to separate people. base
