Another significant group that emerged after the Montgomery bus boycott was the Student Non-violence Coordinating (SNCC). This group was involved with running leadership programs, citizen's education program and voter's registration drives.

Arguably the Jim Crow Laws instigated in the USA from 1896, was the most important long term cause of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
