Quote:
'The
Negro has many pent-up resentments and latent frustrations. He has to
get them out. So let him march sometime; let him have his prayer
pilgrimages to the city hall; understand why he must have sit-ins and
freedom rides. If his repressed emotions do not come out in these
nonviolent ways, they will come out in ominous expressions of violence.'

However, the Supreme Court ruled against him. The reason why they ruled against him is based on the excerpt above.

Since they were not considered citizens, they had no legal rights that slave owners had to respect.
