Segregation at All Costs: Bull Connor and the Civil Rights Movement

This is a 10 minute video of Bull Connor, one of the most reviled politicians of the Old South, who pandered to worse impulses of society to hold his political power.  Ironically,  he became a galvanizing symbol as a common enemy of the Civil Rights movement and decent people worldwide, and made full civil right reforms possible. 

Politicians long have known how to stir fear and division as a political tool of power.  Watch for politicians using code words to isolate and marginalize people as outsiders, coercion through guilt, emotions over reason.  This is the sign of a demagogue.
