Alabama City Remembered as Climactic Battle of Civil Rights Movement 

I couldn’t imagine having to confront biting dogs held by the very people who are supposed to serve and protect me. I hope every single one of these school kids know that their courageous attitudes and spirits on those disgraceful days helped bring civil justice to their people.

Making it a point to watch this right now. During this time. So we don't forget history.

They knew this would happen and marched anyway, knowing they wouldn’t fight back. MLK saw the success of Gandhi and adapted the strategy to the USA. If they fight back, the oppressors will use it to justify the racism they already held. But if hey don’t, people will have no choice but to see how monstrous racism really is. These are some of the bravest people in history and I will respect them until I die.

if we forget history, we’re doomed to repeat it

Our men and women and their children who suffered these atrocities need to be recognized and honored. ..period!! They were marching in a domestic war zone peacefully. They deserve medals of honor. Rest in power and fight on!! God bless.

Coming to watch after riots going on

This video is a great reminder of how far we've come as a country and how important the Civil Rights Movement was in shaping our history. It's also a reminder of how much work we still have to do to ensure equality for all. Thank you for sharing this video.

Our Ancestors were so brave

My grandfathers brother was in that picture with the dog attacking the guy with the sweater . For some info

History is repeating itself. It’s 2020 and we are still fighting.

My dad was just 10 years old when this stuff was happening & it's happening again when I'm 32. Keep on fighting and maybe someday, things will be alright.

Everyone here is a legend! Thank you all for your service!

The fact that she was a young a adult then and still not that old now is just crazy to imagine. This world. Why is it taking this long :(

And this is how you make change. I wish the world would learn from Dr. King.

Love to see these old videos. Everyone is so well-dressed and thin.

Very big shoutout to the white folks who was standing together with the Blacks as these things was going on! Ridiculous how evil these people treated others back then.

This was such a great moment for humanity, not for the authorities, but for the protesters who never used violence despite having violent retaliation. They were nothing short of honorable and brave.

Grande homem usado pro Deus, uma grande referência para os dias passados e atuais..

They keep questioning why did God make some people Black? It's not for you to question that, but just know that we have a right to live and be happy regardless.

Thank you

I always will feel like we should have fought for independence instead of rights they created but im very proud ti be black and I honor my ancestors

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is just one of many examples of things many elected officials of a certain political persuasion don’t want your children learning about.

Woods was my assistant principal in high school.

My grandma was 1 yr old in 1956 and I think that stuff was happening too

Wow, they treated dogs better than other humans.

It's wonderful 🧡💚🇸🇸

It's actually said to see now 2020 and it's still exactly the same

Whoa! @2:29, the spray from the fire hose knocks the guy tumbling right over! Now THAT'S some water pressure! Cool! The armored vehicles built and used as crowd control nowadays, have a port so that pepper spray or other chemical irritants can be injected into the water stream, for some extra "oomph"!

Martin Luther King said...I HAVE A DREAM!!!

This is a real low point for government and law enforcement, not too far off from the climate of today. The door is open now, wider than ever, for permanent change. People died for us to get here. We have to see it through .

Please put this on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter also other site this needs to be seen for our voter rights are in trouble!!!!!

Informative!

Very sad time in America 🇺🇸 .

Watching in 2020.

the 35 dislikes from people who just want attention and don’t have friends

“And we turned that bull into a steer” - a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr during his “I have been the mountaintop speech” referring to Sheriff Bull Connor. Dr. King was not violent but he was not a passive man.

Idk if the schools are taking the time in teaching our next generations of this. But the amount of views I see for this event in American history bothers me. This is something so crucial and showing of how not even so long ago discrimination was as nasty as it is today. Hatred. Right here between the borders of our nation not so long ago.

We need to bring this back

Never forget

The Gov should apologize & payup

ACTION not lip service made a difference.

"I miss the good ol' days." The good ol' days:

02:32 Who was the strong looking officer (with dog) latched onto the protester , wearing sunglasses and sleeves part rolled up?

police brutality done under the color of law

No doubt Dr. King was a man sent by God to oppose evil in America. Think about how much courage you needed to face those police dogs, those police officers and you still had to preach Non-violence as your creed? Without Martin Luther King, Jr the cause would've been lost of taken the wrong path.

This is police brutality. Not wanting to get arrested and fighting the officer is not police brutality.

At. The civil Rights museum me and my brother got trumatized

02:33 is for the black man that loosed his two large German Shepherds on me today outside of the Starbucks. He was waiting for me to turn the curb, then gave the dog a command to approach me without a leash. The dog charged me, then stopped as he commanded it to. Looking confused the dog came in my direction again, then stopped, as the owner again called it back. The animal was very confused as to what it was supposed to do. First of all this is illegal in Nashville. But I know the cops here will not address it, because they are also targeting me. I calmed my self and held eye contact with the owner. "wassup?" he stated, glaring at me. "You sic your dogs on me" I asked? "Naw." he lied. "you ain't white". I then walked off calm, but feeling that heat starting to rise in me, as I knew that I had just been targeted. The equivalent of which is having a loaded gun pointed at me and not fired. This is a blatant disregard of legality, law, and the allowance of harm against other beings. AND it happened on Mother's Day. Oddly, I had just seen the same police officer that several months ago, had reached for his gun while I removed my ear plugs. And then two German Shepard's are basically loosed on me; sadly, by another black man. Mr. Black Man, do you not know your history, and how black , brown, yellow, and even white people were terrorized all over the world by these "German" shepherds? So what protection do I have here, if I can be targeted at my job for violence, targeted at my own home with violence, targeted by law enforcement and citizens with violence? How do I defend my right to live on this planet? are there no spirits of the Earth that can aid me? Are all my ancestor's deaf to my need for personal safety? Has all the military completely forsaken the constitution or the law of do no harm? Are there zero consequences for acts of intended violence against humans? I am asking my Kemetic ancestors, the Earth spirits, the military, denizens of the lower middle and upper worlds, and any and all off world allies that I may have? HOW DO I PROTECT MY LIFE FORCE? And will you PLEASE AID ME and all humans in doing so?

History is repeating itself....ALL over again.

It wasn't only King that lead to desegregation it was the "worldstar" videographers videos sent around the world that caused pressure. Had there been no cameras who knows what would happen. Anyway as I watch this video it's like watching pure evil displayed.

All we say to America is, “Be true to what you said on paper.” If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn’t committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right. And so just as I say, we aren’t going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren’t going to let any injunction turn us around. We are going on. ~MLK~

DEEP!

1:55 singing

The most courageous elegant example of PURE Christianity. Such a gorgeous, strong and profound people who have given us everything culturally the World loves about America. Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, Rock n Roll, Hip Hop - the greatest Artists, writers, actors and musicians. The most creative spark, Dignity, Grace, Brilliance, Power and Humour- all while being CONSTANTLY brutalized since the first day they were dragged from their homes and dumped here in 1619 ! Remarkable beyond measure! I pray we shall ALL overcome this sickness and disease of Racism.

El saber que hablas con palabras dd DIOS!!

years later here we go!!! 🚮🚮🚮💔

Boy he was successful just look at Birmingham Al today and good ole Memphis TN.

🔥

ITS 2020! ITS TIME FOR CHANGE! I AM NOT BLACK BUT I STAND WITH YOU! I AM NOT BLACK BUT I HEAR YOU! I AM NOT BLACK BUT I SUPPORT BLM! THINGS NEED TO CHANGE! WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST BE FUCKING NICE TO EACH OTHER! WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS! #blacklivesmatter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

The one thing I disagree with is ever putting women, children or elders in harm"s way. This was and is a war our men should fight (2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV). And before anyone says they aren't, there are plenty of brothers out in the streets and online teaching and gathering their brothers and sisters.

Whaaaaaaa

the footage makes me cry

I remember watching this on television as it was happening in real time. It was the summer before I started kindergarten in Chicago. As I watched my mother’s face as she watched in horror and called her friends to watch (among them Dorothy Gautreuax), it was at that moment, at the age of 5, that I learned about race in America. These people are my martyrs. Unfortunately little has changed since then.

They trying to delete this

Same media sez these were peaceful too. Not sure who to believe.

Now what's happening right now, now people are still continuing their racism, I feel like all human species need to be gone

May God continue to Give strength and Energy to those fighting against Racism, Hate, and Evil. Whites are not bad people....But there are many hiding in plain sight today, that have allowed the Devil to use them as His tool for evil.

i hate how black people get treated AND WE NEED TO STOP THIS NOT BY VOILENCE NO RUDENESS but kindness and staying united LETS PROVE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR THAT WE CAN DO it

Everytime i talk and listen about the bombing in Birmingham i get slightly teary just thinking about it all.

I think it’s safe to say, its still segregated… by money & not by color

These amazing people went through hell. They truly fought for what they wanted. Equality. These fools nowadays follow the culture. Dr King did his job. Can’t we support his faith in peace and equality? Not gangs and crime.

The mad dog Bull Connor sent police dog against unarmed protesters.

Very sad

Why can we have peace and peace not peace and violence

Does that mean

I do not know how to swim

It is no such thing as a African-American never ever forget that

well baby our people fought back TODAY! Bet yall wont try that ish no more cant bully us like you did our grandparents … Selma Alabama learned today 😂😂😂😂

#NEVERFORGETKING

There’s a difference between protests now and then. These people now deserve what those back then didn’t deserve. If you gonna burn buildings, loot business and beat down inoccent shop owners, then by all means yous get what you deserve

MY GUESS THIS CITY WAS BIRMINGHAM

Connor is simply a Minnis plain and simple

And we suppose to forgiven forget

Anyone like first responders now

This is how Donald Trump wants America to be like .

I’m reminded of the argument of peaceful protests vs riots in 2020, considering the mlk-led protest was at most civil disobedience what happened in the summer of 2020 is nothing short of a mockery to the 1960’s protestors and the manifestation regarding the democrat-led destruction of the black nuclear family.

This is how Bukkake was invented except the water was changed to semen

Just pointless to segregate stuff we are all children of god

Yet, the iconic GSD remains one of America’s most beloved, & sought after canines.

I don't want to be sprayed I'm just

Thank you police for your service to The United States Of America.

What did Malcolm X say about this?

Wow watching is hard

Who keeps deleted my nevermind I just

Better run

that's RIN TIN TIN 2:33

My bishop Calvin woods

We never received justice for what we suffered and for what we built; we only receive contempt. Instead of reparations, we get performative POC solidarity and pan-Africanism pandering from a nation of immigrants who prosper from our pain and exploitation.

That's mest up

If i could i would go back in time to when Martin Luther King was alive and before James Earl Ray could shot him would knock the gun out of his hand and blast him through the wall with the power stone or i would revive Martin Luther King before at his funeral before they bury him.
