Reaction to the Brown Decision Joel Ramirez, Josue Mancilla, Herick Morales

Reaction to the Brown Decision Many school districts were enforcing desegregation Gov. of Georgia was going to resist and do whatever was necesary to keep white children in white schools and colored children in colored schools Within a year , more than 500 school districts had been desegregated

Resistance to School Desegregation The KKK reappeared and white citizens council boycotted businesses that supported desegregation In many areas where African Americans were a majority, whites resisted desegregation To speed things up, Supreme court handed down a second ruling (Brown II) that ordered school desegregation implemented “with all deliberate speed”

Crisis in Little Rock In 1948, Arkansas had become the first state to admit African Americans to the State University without being required by court order Governor Orval Faubus publicly showed support for segregation by ordering the National Guard to turn away the “Little Rock Nine” which were 9 African American students who had volunteered to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School as the first step in Blossoms Plan The crisis forced Eisenhower to act

The Montgomery Bus Boycott The mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, asking that bus drivers no longer be allowed to force riders in the colored section to yield their seats to whites Rosa Parks, sat down in the front row where the whites only sit. And the bus was full and they asked her to move and she didn't so they arrested her.

More facts of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Black community picked MLK Jr. To lead the group. His speeches brought people to their feet and filled the audience with a sense of mission . Everyone wanted to help out MLK since they bombed MLks house some would donate one fifth of their salary.
