罷車運動進行時間超過一年，許多人都希望抓到金恩、透過威脅他來終止這個罷車運動。

金恩與罷車運動終於獲得最後勝利，在1956年11月13日，美國華盛頓最高法院判定阿拉巴馬州巴士的隔離政策是違背憲法精神的（亦即該隔離政策並未依循美國憲法制訂、應予廢除），因為美國最高法院做出此判決，各州均需依循該判決形式，金恩以搭乘巴士並坐在一位白人身後、作為抗爭成功的慶祝。

The bus boycott lasted more than a year. Many people tried to get King to end the boycott by threatening him.

King and the boycotters finally won. On November 13, 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., agreed that Alabama's bus segregation laws were unconstitutional. (Unconstitutional means that the laws did not follow the U.S. Constitution and had to be struck down.) Because the U.S. Supreme Court made the decision, all states had to follow the ruling. King celebrated by riding the bus seated next to a white man.
