I’m not sure if this is the answer you want, but from what I gathered, it looks like there had been lots of planning to boycott before this incident. Parks was an active member of this discussion and some think that her refusal to move was a challenge. When she was arrested, African American rights groups such as the NAACP took that as a chance to begin the boycott, which was organized by Martin Luther King Jr.
