Plaque commemorating the boycott.
On April 30, 1963, the Bristol Bus Boycott began. Inspired by the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a group of West Indians in Bristol, England, organized a boycott of the Bristol Omnibus Company for its refusal to employ Black drivers for its buses.
The boycott lasted for four months until the company reversed its discriminatory hiring practice.
