Civil Rights Story

This is the story of a man named Clyde Kennard who wanted to attend Mississippi Southern College. He was denied admittance twice, and there was even a fabricated lawsuit made against him. He was then sentenced to prison. I think this can relate closely to the essay that Dr. King wrote while he was in prison in Alabama. They were both put into prison for trying to fight for equal rights, and in both cases there were ways that people found minor technicalities in what they were doing and put them into prison for it.
