	The Autobiography of Martin Luther King: The Birmingham Movement
		Had we moved in while Connor and Boutwell were electioneering, Connor would undoubtedly have capitalized on our presence by using it as an emotion-charged issue for his own political advantage, waging a vigorous campaign to persuade the white community that he, and he alone, could defend the city's official policies of segregation.
		Connor, as it developed, was not to adhere to nonviolence long; the dogs were baying in kennels not far away; the hoses were primed.

	math lessons - Bull Connor
		Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor (11 July 1897 - 10 March 1973) was a police official in the Southern United States during the American Civil Rights Movement and a staunch advocate of racial segregation.
		As the Public Safety Commissioner of Birmingham, Alabama in the 1960s, he became infamous for using fire hoses and police attack dogs against unarmed, nonviolent protest marchers.
		The spectacle of this being broadcast on national television helped to catalyse major social and legal change in the South and helped in large measure to assure the passage by Congress of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, so ironically Connor's tactics helped to bring about the very change that he was opposing.

	ICT [2003/07/25] Clarkson: Bull Connor would have been proud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		More than 100 years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court noted in United States vs. Kagama that, for Indian tribes, "the people of the states where they are found are often their deadliest enemies." It doesn't appear that things have changed all that much, at least not in New England.
		The assault was rapid and brutally efficient, and in short order, the invaders had subdued their targets - Narragansett Indians who dared to assert their sovereign tribal rights and opposed the heavy-handed tactics of the state police.
		When the cameras showed a police dog attacking a tribal councilman who lay helpless on the ground in handcuffs, all that was missing from the scene was Bull Connor and over-pressured fire hoses.
