Unk, did you know that an incident involving Jackie Robinson in 1959 was the spark that really started the Greenville, SC Civil Rights movement? He was denied the ability to wait in the waiting area at the airport here and because of that, a huge march on the Airport was organized on Jan. 1, 1960 and because of that, they desegregated the waiting areas at the airport which led to even more protests that eventually helped Greenville, SC desegregate in a very peaceful manner. But it all started here with Jackie Robinson.Originally Posted by Unklescott;2920926;
