It is my answer to the question. However, I don't know whether it is correct or not.

The verb should be "led" not "lead" since you are phrasing it in past tense.

The civil rights movement started before this, and her act was a planned one. It was still courageous, but it was all carefully planned, as was the year-long bus boycott that followed.

It was a VERY important milestone in the civil rights movement, but it was not the start of it.
