During the 1950s, African American had faced alot of discrimination to keep them away from white Amercian. The white elite made system to helped keep African American from expressing freedom such the right to vote and education system . In 1954 most black American throught the education was unequal. The decision of brown vs Board of education cast to peka helped African America to fight against unfair laws.

NBC newman, Bill monroe said when you see and hear a wildly angry man on the news it attracted audience and grap your audience attention . Dan Rather of CBS recalled looking for place to stay when covering story in Missippi he recalled signs like " No dogs nigger allowed ".

In the early 1960s Alabama became a war zone in the civil right movement . Three thousand Africa American were arrested or injured by police brutality . In 1963 the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr civil  right leader ,who targeted Birmingham to stop the violence. He also used Ghandi theory of nonviolence . Martin Luther King Jr speech " I have a dream helped change and revolutioned the American society.

I  decided to choose this chapter because it seem very interesting . I also compare chapter 11 about Africa American discrimination and chapter 8 about the Jews discrimination seen similar. http// www. martin luther King .org, http// www. King institute.com , http// mlkday.gov
