Brown, Montgomery, Little Rock

The idea
Thurgood Marshall's lawsuits attacked Jim Crow, and Brown against Board of Education in nineteen fifty-four barred school segregation. Eisenhower sent troops to desegregate Little Rock's Central High. Montgomery's bus boycott was grassroots.
In practice
The murder of Emmett Till, the violence the anchor names.
Where people slip
Courts and the federal government did not assist in every case. Change came from lawsuits, troops and boycotts together.
