In 1946, Isaac Woodard, a Black army sergeant on his way home to South Carolina after serving in WWII, was pulled from a bus for arguing with the driver. The local chief of police savagely beat him, leaving him unconscious and permanently blind.

Board of Education decision, which finally outlawed segregation in public schools and jumpstarted the modern civil rights movement.
