Soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine
The Little Rock 9 were 9 students of color who had great grades, higher IQ, and were selectively chosen by the NAACP because they had a most likely-hood to succeed in this act. The Nine students were going to attend a recently desegregated School, Little Rock Central High School. The first attempt was to walk through the side door to avoid the crowd of people booing and jeering, it failed. People found them and started yelling, screaming, and even threatening them. The second attempt required the military, President Eisenhower made 1000 United state's troops protect them to get them through their first day of public school. This was a huge breakthrough, as the president was now involved. People stopped booing after that. All of the Little Rock Nine students attended college.

Passage from the "I Have A Dream" Speech
The "I Have a Dream" speech
The I Have a Dream Speech was announced by Martin Luther King Jr, (MLK). It was a powerful speech regarding the concerns of public segregation because of the color of one's skin, stating that he hopes (or "has a dream") that one day segregation will stop.

Rosa Parks
The Montgomery Bus Boycott
Black citizens had to give up their seats for a white person if the bus didn't have any more room. They had to sit in the back as well, even if the bus didn't have anyone else on it. Rosa Parks was the first black citizen to refuse to give up her seat, and she was arrested for breaking the law. This alerted the NAACP, led by Martin Luther King Jr, (he later gave the I Have A Dream speech) who spread the word to convince people to not ride the bus. They didn't ride the bus for just over a year, walking miles to and from work. Intimidated and not receiving extra funds, the bus company removed this rule, and desegregated the buses. They even went as far as hiring black bus drivers!
