SINTHIA!!!!! PUT THIS AFTER THE INTRO PARAGRAPH [18 May 2005|06:03pm] Throughout the years the mistreatment of the African Americans had not faded thus the civil rights movement came about. One of the first movements of the civil rights would have to be the boycotts on buses. This boycott due to the act of segregation put upon Rosa Parks. Due to the fact that this woman denied to give her place up for a white in the bus she was sent to jail. This Brought about the year long boycott that took place in Montgomery, Alabama. This boycott was against the bus companies of the city. As Martin Luther King Jr. by the boycotters side the fight against African segregation took on its way. The civil rights begins to mold up. Another major even of the civil rights movement would have to be the sit in at North Carolina. A couple of students were offended as they were denied service at a restaurant lunch counter. These students thought of a perfect way to solve this problem and set up a sit in at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College. This lunch counter found in Greensboro. These were a few of the major events that set up the stage to the largest African American civil rights movement of the country. Following the sit ins held by the students was the second part of the bus movement. Blacks were determained to be able to have a choice of spot in the buses they rode on a daily basis. On May 4th of 1961 African Americans began to sit in white sections of the bus this known as the freedom ride. This choice was not a good one as the white took the issue personally the began to burn buses as a sworm of violence took over. The issue became so drastic that the state even had to send in their Marshals to take control and restore the peace. This was not the only act of violence that took place during the civil rights not at all, violence ran all over the place. A young black man by the name of James Meredith angered a group of whites as he tried to enroll into the University of Mississipi. The people were offended by what was happening and tried to solve the problem with violence. At this time of course blacks were not found much in white schools especially universities and acts such as the enrollment of James Meredith erupted the violence that was only bound to come out. 4 Kids did...| wanna duel?
