Explanation:

The Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956) was a key civil rights action led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated and practiced nonviolent resistance as a core strategy. The boycott relied on peaceful mass protest (avoiding segregated buses) rather than violence, and was not centered on economic independence or the "any means necessary" ideology associated with more militant activism.
