When my family was eating dinner that night I had asked Mama what had started all of the segregation everywhere and while people were so cruel. She had said that the white people were very unconnciderate of others and didn't really care about us African Americans. This time period is called the Civil Rights Movement which has been started by the sparks of many things. She told me about the Jim Crow Laws which inforced the seperation of us and the whites. The white people were trying to not allow any African American the right to vote. So, the angry African Americans formed the NAACP- National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which fought to gain our rights back. Mama then was telling about the the Montgomery Bus Boycott dealing with her hero, Rosa Parks. I remember this briefly from different rumors. The African Americans walked everywhere for an entire year for freedom. Recently the Blossom Plan was approved to desegregate the schools. This was allowing me to attend any school I wanted. Finally she had told me that we were supporting Martin Luther King's recent activity. He founded the SCLC- Southern Christian Leadership Conference that organized civil rights work in the South. I learned also tonight at dinner that our church is sponsored by the SCLC!
