When Eisenhower finally did something and sent the 1,000 paratroopers, a lot of the people in America were extremely annoyed, the west and north were angry that it didn't happen sooner and the south were angry that it happened at all, and disowned Eisenhower as a southerner.

In 1962, Nelson Mandela was arrested simply for protesting against the government. He was protesting that black people were not given freedom.

Southern blacks simply stopped using the bus system to show that they weren't going to be treated unfairly, by the community, government and bus system. Every week the black community would gather and have a meeting about the protest, the leader of these gatherings would emerge to be Martin L.

When the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the blacks, they knew it was going to change their way of life.

In 1888 at the age of 18 Gandhi went to London to study law. When he came back to India he was not a very successful lawyer, so he took a job offer in South Africa.

Yet like many areas throughout the country, my small rural hometown of Oxford, North Carolina was not quite ready to accept this integration. In May of 1970, Oxford was the stage of the tragic racially inclined murder of Henry ‘Dickie’ Marrow by several white oppressors known as the Teel brothers.
