After the war African-Americans got more equality and freedom which they had the right to vote and work (FEPC).  After whites killed several black veterans in 1946 for daring to vote, it established President’s committee Civil Rights. Its main job to avoid the segregation between white and black and to ensure that both of them have full right’s citizen. It let the president to issued executive orders barring discrimination in federal employment and ensuring the equality.  As result, the Supreme Court declared segregation such as in transportation, sales or rental of property which was the beginning. After that, they declared the segregation in schools but not in all the states. It Border States were the first African-American and white students sat side by side. However, in some states were rejected the idea of joining black and white such as Arkansas. Some of white students blocked blacks to enter to the school and the chance of accepting black was low.  Rosa Parks was a good example of the movement when she refused to get up and let white man sit on her seat. Also, Martin Luther King touch black people by his speech and companied by freedom value and Bible quotes. His idea was focusing that every black deserve to a have right like white people.
