It was like a dream, that people were so ignorant," [Henry Baul] said. "To see how it is now, it's a great difference, but it was rigidly segregated then. That's the way it was. "The reason why this is so significant is because Mr. Baul was one of the first Black United States Marines recruited into the Marine Corps," [Robert B. Middleton] said. "Mr. Baul's a living legend. If it were not for these first Black United States Marines there would be no other Black Marines. They broke the 160 year color barrier." "I think Mr. Baul basically has been a light bearer, opening doors for not only Blacks in the military, but the multi-cultural mix that exists in the Marine Corps today," he said. "They were precursors to the official Civil Rights Movement. We're all excited about it. Hopefully t...

Louis Austin, the editor of Durham's Carolina Times and one of the most outspoken of the southern black editors, was the leading proponent of the Double V strategy in North Carolina during World War II. He joined other black activists and newspapers in articulating a dual strategy in which blacks fought for victory abroad against the Axis powers while fighting for victory at home against the forces of white supremacy and racial oppression. He further stimulated the politics of protest in the South by calling for an end to racial oppression in education, politics, economics, and the armed forces; and his wartime use of the politics of protest helped lay the groundwork

-The United States Supreme Court declares in the Guinn v. United States case that "grandfather clauses" in many Southern state constitutions and laws were illegal. The case grew out of the practice, common in the South, of setting up stringent requirements in order to prevent Blacks (former slaves) from voting. But in order to insure that whites could vote, the laws exempted them from the difficult requirements by asserting that anyone (or his grandfather) who could vote prior to 1867 did not have to meet the tough standards. Since virtually no Blacks could vote prior to 1867, "grandfather clauses" had the effect of denying Blacks the right to vote. -Hundreds are arrested as law enforcement agents moved in to forcibly close "Resurrection City" in the nation's capital.

As Dr. Martin L. King, Jr., stated, "Segregation is the Negro's burden and America's shame. Disregarding the plight of militant lawyers, the Millions More Movement only gave suspended attorney Chokwe Lumumba 60 seconds in the morning to speak at the rally. Neither [Louis Farrakhan], [Jesse L. Jackson] nor [Al Sharpton] mentioned his plight. Thou shall not offend whites. Predictably, Jackson has called for a march in Baton Rouge on Oct. 29 to boo...
