Civil+Rights+Violence-KH

Aggression Home | King Jr | Aggression

Although King had been making progress with his speeches the African American community still had many struggles with their fight. Many americans were just not use to the idea that the two races could work cohesively as a community. Along with that there was also the KKK who were throughout all that time trying to use fear tactics to keep people from protesting. Some of the tactics that they used were kidnaping people and firebombing the desegregated buses. When they would kidnap people they would torture them and use those people as examples to others that would try to follow their path. With the fire-bombings they would scare the people out of the buses and once they were out they would begin beating them so as to scare them from continuing their cause. One of the most frightening things about all of this is that a lot of the people that were participating in this violence were high up politicians and law enforcers so who was suppose to help those people.
