Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
A wide range of Americans contributed to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. Students and young people were a prominent group of activists within the movement. Today, we'll learn about the Little Rock Nine, the Greensboro Four, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and the Freedom Riders. These groups undertook protests and worked to integrate schools and public accommodations by riding segregated buses, demanding service at lunch counters, and even by simply attending school. The: I grew up down the road from Greensboro and the sit-ins were always the center of our Civil Rights education. Even took a field trip to the former woolworths store which is now the GBO Civil Rights Museum, and Mr. McCain even came to our class in 7th grade to talk about his experience then.

I am neither black nor American but this series is so informative and interesting, it's really really developed my interest in black American history - which I didn't know anything about realistically before I started watching. Thanks so much, crash course. If it weren't for well-explained, high-quality FREE videos like this I probably would've gone my whole life just wondering but never learning!

Eisenhower didn't pick just any federal troops to escort the Nine; he sent 1, 000 U. S. Army troops from the 101st Airborne Division (the 327th Airborne Battle Group, or Bastogne Bulldogs. This was both a theatrical assignment, and a practical one. Everyone in America had heard of the 101st Airborne Division and likewise, those men were not the kind to shrink from conflict.

John Lewis was one of the Freedom Riders who was beaten up by the Klan in Anniston and went on to speak at the March on Washington, so he already had some serious street cred when his skull was cracked by the Alabama State Police after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
