in 1991, the Civil Rights Act of 1991 was signed by George H.W. Bush into effect. It protected individuals from discrimination based on race, color, s*x, religion and national origin and put in established legislation providing for monetary damages up to a certain limit in cases of intentional employment discrimination.

"He has apparently faltered under the awesome burdens, complexities and responsibilities of his office, therefore, I cannot engage in a public debate with him. I have nothing but sympathy for this man who has served his country so well."

~MLK, 19 November 1964, Statement on J. Edgar Hoover calling King "the most notorious liar in the country."

When we discuss the Civil Rights Movement, The Deacons for Defense are usually left out. The fact is if had not been for Negroes with guns there wouldn't have been a Civil Rights Movement. -Michael Imhotep

Most of them were veterans of World War II and the Korean War. Their aim was to protect members of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) against Ku Klux Klan violence.

Attacks were so frequent that many Civil Rights Workers armed themselves for self-protection. Even the home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had so many guns during the 1950s that one visitor called it an “arsenal.”

And when it became pretty clear that some cooperation existed between the Ku Klux Klan and local law enforcement agencies, denying civil rights workers in some areas police protection, a group emerged to protect Black lives.

On July 10, 1964, a group of African-American men in Jonesboro, Louisiana, led by Earnest “Chilly Willy” Thomas and Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick founded the group known as The Deacons for Defense and Justice.

Their aim was to protect members of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) against Ku Klux Klan violence.

Most of the “Deacons” were veterans of World War II and the Korean War.
