Bull Connor and the Civil Rights Movement
This National History Day documentary does a fantastic job of detailing Connor's role during the movement. I find the images of firefighters and policemen--people whose job it is to protect citizens--using the firehoses and dogs to be incredibly disturbing.

I agree with what Mr. Brown said. The footage of the firemen and the dogs was absoloutly apalling. I can't believe that Bull Connor was a radio announcer. And after his popularity, the whole reason that he ran for office in the first place was "to see how many friends I had." That is a terrible reason to run for office. I can't believe so many people would have voted for such a terrible man.
