Question

Why were people so angry, to the point of violence, about the integration of our schools? please need help

topic is civil rights

Answer 1

The racial integration that took place in the schools of the south of the nation, especially from the 1960s, had the objective of including African American children in schools that until then were only used by whites.

At that time, there was still the conception that African Americans were second-class citizens, racially inferior and not deserving of real equality with whites. That conception, added to the traditionalist society of the south of the country at the time, caused these movements for equality to be received violently, and resisted by a large part of society.
