===Montgomery Bus boycott===
===Montgomery Bus boycott===
On Dec. 31, 1955, MArtin Luther King, Jr. led the nonviolent [[boycott]] of city buses of [[Montgomery]], [[Alabama]], after he sent [[Rosa Parks]] to be arrested for not moving to the back of the bus.<ref>http://www.thekingcenter.org/mlk/chronology.html</ref>
===Little Rock Nine===
===Little Rock Nine===
In 1957, Governor [[Orval Faubus]] of Arkansas mobilized the state National Guard to prevent a court ordered desegregation of Little Rock public schools. When the federal court issued an injunction Eisenhower intervened decisively, taking control of the National Guard and send in Army combat troops. He enforced the desegregation of schools. In the late 1960s several southern states expressed forceful opposition to what was considered Federal tyranny; some redesigned their state flags to include the old Confederate banner. In 1962, the prospect of a black student being admitted to the [[University of Mississippi]] resulted in campus riots suppressed by Federal troops and a national guard now brought under Federal control.
