In 1948 President Truman signed an order with it saying "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." He basically started the freedom to all of the U.S. In 1955 a girl by the name of Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat at the front of the "colored section" of a bus to a white passenger. In 1960 four protesters sat at a diner and were not aloud to order anything. Within six months they had changed the way of the diner, swimming pools, theaters, libraries, and other public facilities.
