Owner's Comments

The Modern Civil Rights Movement. Rosa Parks' refusal to surrender her seat on a Montgomery bus in 1955 sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr. The movement transformed the constitutional promise of equal protection into a sustained national campaign against state-sponsored racial segregation. Elsewhere, President Eisenhower sends advisors to Vietnam.
