the Freedom Rides. He also was on the championship debate team portrayed in

Martin Luther King and the SCLC come there to protest segregation there in 1963.

Hundreds of activists and thousands of mostly white

college students from around the country went primarily to

Mississippi in 1964 to help black citizens to register to vote and to

mass action, the affiliation of local community organizations

across the South, and a determination to make the

background.


A group of interracial students in Chicago in 1942

founded this organization which became an essential

part of the Civil Rights Movement sponsoring sit-

ins and many other protests.

were pledged to non-violence but in 1966 turned to “black

power.”


This organization was formed in the days following the December 1955 arrest of

Rosa Parks, to oversee the bus boycott. E.D. Nixon and

Jo Ann Robinson were important leaders.


Mississippi blacks, barred from participating in the state’s Democratic Party, decided to form their own party in 1964. They held parallel precinct

and district caucuses open to all races.

argued in front of the Supreme Court including

perhaps the most famous of all the court decisions on

civil rights.


He was a Freedom Rider, was arrested 24 times for

protesting for Civil Rights, and an influential SNCC leader. Today he is a member of the House of Representatives.

inspired and guided emerging leaders and was instrumental in the creation

of SNCC


She and three others mimeographed and

delivered 52,500 leaflets in one night

As the Civil Rights Movement waned and split after 1966, this

Guard to block the enrollment of black students at the high

school in the state capitol and caused a national crisis.

Birmingham, Alabama—using police dogs and high pressure water hoses against the non-violent tactics of Martin Luther King, Jr.—actually hastened the passage of a Civil Rights

Act.


He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950 for his work

as a diplomat for the United Nations. In 1965 he

marched with Martin Luther King, Jr., to Montgomery,

Alabama.


He is often seen as the standard bearer of white

opposition to integration in the 1960s and in 1963 stood in

the doorway of the University of Alabama to prevent a black

student from registering.


This southern governor was catapulted into the national

spotlight in 1962 when he sought to bar a black man from entering the University of Mississippi in

defiance of a Federal court order. The resulting confrontation led to

riots at “Ole Miss” that left two dead.
