    Chapter 7 – Crossing The Mountain.

    Freedom remained a mere whisper on America's mountaintops. Meanwhile, in Birmingham, the fight for equality was confronted with violence. Bombings continued, targeting the homes and offices of activists such as the NAACP's Field Secretary, Medgar Evers, who was tragically assassinated in front of his own home. At the same time, Governor George Wallace, a fervent segregationist, defiantly opposed integration by famously blocking the entrance to the University of Alabama.

    The 1960s ushered in a new wave of cultural change and influential voices on the American stage.
