Thomas H. Brewer and the Struggle for Civil Rights

<p>The winter of 1956 was a turbulent period in the deep South. Blacks were demanding their rights and finally obtaining some of their goals at the nationa1 level. The 1954 Supreme Court decision in the Brown Topeka. Kansas Board of Education case was the prime VS stimulus.1 While the blacks in the South were feeling encouragement over this decision that declared school segregation unconstitutional, many white southerners felt anger, fear, and uncertainty about how this court decision would affect their lives.</p> <p>Their culture based on racial segregation was threatened with destruction. "Separate but equal, " which had stood for sixty years, appeared to be at an end. This anxiety created a great deal of tension between the races.</p>
