Martin Luther King's funeral is held in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Lester Maddox, governor of the state at the time, refuses to close the state government in honor of the slain Civil Rights leader, or attend the funeral. Maddox felt King was an "enemy of the country." The governor additionally stationed 64 riot-helmeted state troopers at the entrances of the capitol to protect "the property of the state."

    @sierria64 The freedom riders had absolutely nothing to do with colored people attending Princeton University or with people of color having the same opportunities as white Americans. They were trying to desegregate bus facilities.

    It's a terrible shame that white liberals used black people as their political pawns in order to gain power. The Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and every other "civil rights" act, not to mention all the court rulings have practically turned this nation into a communist nation.
