This event represents the results of a society without strong structure for their laws for smaller communities. Segregation was seen as an easy solution to deal with the apparent “issue”, for white people, of having free African Americans work and not be slaves to cotton fields or a share-cropping system of living. With the Ku Klux Klan, still being a large organization that many rural town white men took apart of, organizations like the NUL, the NAACP and CORE had to fight extremely hard to keep voting rights, desegregation and equal opportunities for the African Americans that were being marginalized and oppressed. Young men throughout the country either helped or hindered the civil rights movement in a large way. Since young people are usually driven to act upon their beliefs and have nothing truly important left to lose, they see activism and protesting something that they value and want to perform for their morals to be enforced. As young people are being recruited into these organizations and go to work with Freedom Rides or a voter registration workshop, they are also exposing themselves to the violent subculture of the angry white man who is a part of the Ku Klux Klan and this reveals the fear that the white community has towards the African American community and how against integration they honestly are. People like Mr. Applewhite see integration as a threat to their freedom and this brings insecurity towards them. With this insecurity, many are driven towards violent and outlandish actions like attacking a group of protesters for an incident that they had no partaking in whatsoever. With this mass media exposure towards the rioting of the demonstrations, this unfortunately gives the view to other white people of “the violence that the African American community brings” instead of looking at the views and ideas that the community is trying to bring into light.
