Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in 1956 during the Montgomery Bus Boycott for violating a court injunction that prohibited the boycott of the city's bus system. The boycott was a response to the arrest of Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger. King's activism and leadership in the boycott highlighted the struggle for civil rights and drew national attention to the movement. His arrest symbolized the broader fight against racial segregation and injustice in the United States.
