• December 1865, Tennessee: former Confederate officers meet in secret and found the Ku Klux Klan.
• December 1 1955, Rosa Parks, a 42 year-old black woman, refuses to give up her seat to a white person and is arrested.
• August 29 1963, before 250,000 people, The Reverend Martin Luther King delivers his famous “I have a dream” speech.
