Civil Rights

Martin Luther King, Jr. Quote

“It was high school, college, and elementary school young people who were in the front line of the school desegregation struggle. Lest it be forgotten. Opening of schools to Negroes for the first time in history required that there be young Negroes with the moral and physical courage to face the challenges and, all too frequently, the mortal dangers presented by mob resistance.”
