Alabama (1956)

Alabama ( 1956 ) I'm doing my report on events that accured in Alabama in 1956 directly referring to civil rights and the struggles that Black-Americans faced in 1956. The two events that I'm going to concentrate on are the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the integration of students at the University of Alabama.
