Ernest Palmer
Bishop Ernest Palmer, a man who grew up in a Jim Crow Birmingham who later became the first black student at the all white Livingston College, now known as The University of West Alabama.When a group of white students threw white baby powder on him shouting, “If you want to be white, take this,” he had to remind himself of the importance of staying the course through a non-violent movement, all this while leading a choir that sang at rallies across the South.
