Ahh! I was looking for an article about a boycott. It was effective because it was a town. So, people just went outside town to buy gas and groceries. I mean, the bus boycotts organized by Martin Luther King lasted like 2-3 years. Davis boycotted Taco Bell forever and it work! So, for a boycott to be effective must need to be really focus and people have to be willing to sacrifice and help out. It is easier for a town because if Pancho slacks or his car breaks, he can be either help out or held accountable. National and state boycotts are hard to pull off because there is no one to held you accountable if you slack or help out if it is very hard for you to keep going.
