The guided missile destroyer USS Chancellorsville, which was named after a Confederate victory in the Civil War, was renamed the USS Robert Smalls, the Navy announced Monday in a news release! Smalls went from slave to stealing a Confederate ship to becoming the Captain of said ship, and ultimately a member of Congress. This is a wonderful way to honor an American Hero! https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/27/politics/robert-smalls-chancellorsville-navy-renamed/index.html
Clennon King, a black student who applied to the University of Mississippi in 1958, was forcefully committed to a mental asylum. The presiding judge ruled that a black person must surely be insane to think that he could be admitted to the University of Mississippi.
In the summer of 1958 King attempted to enter the graduate program in history at the University of Mississippi. No African American had ever applied to the university, and the white power structure struck back quickly and devastatingly. When King arrived in Oxford to register, Gov. J. P. Coleman, members of the state highway patrol, and several plainclothes officers greeted him. After forcibly removing King from the registration area, state authorities carried him to jail. Two physicians then declared King insane, and he spent nearly two weeks in a state asylum before his younger brother, civil rights lawyer C. B. King, secured his release.
In 1960 King became the first black man to run for president. Running on the Independent Afro-American Party ticket, King won 1,485 votes in Alabama and finished eleventh nationally in a twelve-candidate field. During the 1970s he waged unsuccessful gubernatorial, state legislative, and local commission campaigns in Georgia. King made national news during the 1976 presidential campaign by attempting to desegregate Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter’s whites-only Plains Baptist Church. King moved to Miami in 1979 and established All Faiths Church of Divine Mission, the Arenia Mallory School of Religion, the Miami Council for Church and Social Action, and the Party of God. King ran in local elections on the Party of God ticket into the 1990s, behaving increasingly bizarrely: his 1993 campaign used intentionally outlandish profanity, while in 1996 he wore lipstick and sweatpants to campaign events. King died of prostate cancer on 12 February 2000.
