Civil Rights Museum

2. Brown vs. Board of Education One thing that was interesting to me was that there was also segregation in other parts of the country. What was it like at the colored only school was the education, and classes the same as the whites school? I got upset because I don’t think its fair for a little girl to walk 21 blocks to get to school when there’s one only 7 blocks away.

3. Thurgood Marshall Here on the left of the photograph is a young Thurgood Marshall. He would later go on to become a Supreme Court justice, serving from 1967 until 1991. But his greatest accomplishment of his life came in 1954 when he helped win the case of Brown v. Board of Education.

7. Hula Hoops The hula hoop was all the craze in the 1950s. Here a young girl in suburban America enjoys the fad.

8. Montgomery Bus Boycott What interested me was that there were a lot of people involved with the bus boycott. What happened after Rosa Parks got arrested? What makes me angry is that the world had to boycott like that just to get people to realize how stupid segregation is.

9. Rosa Parks On Dec. 1, 1955 Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat and move to the back of the bus so a white man could sit there.

14. Central High The little rock nine were the nine students picked to intergate a whites only school. I’d like to know what went through the students minds on the first day.

15. Little Rock School The students of Central High still trying to stop intregation.

16. Education without mixing A parade of cars filled with young whites in the 1950s leads a demonstration protesting the coming of integration in the schools.

20. Martin Luther King Jr. I liked the different speeches he gave. I’d Like to know who inspired him to speak up for equal rights. I liked learning about Martin Luther King Jr, because without him we might still be fighting about equal rights, and I would liked to have met him

21. Martin Luther King Jr Martin Luther king doing his most famous speech I have a dream.

22. Martin and His Wife The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is welcomed with a kiss by his wife Coretta after leaving court in Montgomery, Ala., March 22, 1956.
