Explanation

During the bus boycott, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was chosen to speak for the people at a mass meeting. He emerged as a prominent leader during the civil rights movement, advocating for nonviolent protests and equal rights for African Americans. His eloquence and powerful speeches made him a natural choice to represent the people and articulate their grievances and demands.
