    In 1946, the black woman I. Morgan followed the bus from Virginia to Maryland. She was demanded to sit down at the end of the cabin in the place for the "blacks," according to the laws of the state of Virginia. The woman objected. In her opinion, since the bus followed between the states, the laws of Virginia did not apply to it. As a result, the woman was arrested and fined. The Supreme Court ruled that the plaintiff was right because local laws should not have prevented free movement between states. The need was noted for the adoption of a federal law governing transport segregation.

    Marshall has secured a Supreme Court decision to prohibit interstate bus segregation. Later in the Boynton v. Virginia case (1960), Marshall convinced the court to cancel segregation at bus stations and other interstate passengers. Decisions in these cases led in the 1960s to the new Freedom Flights movement.
