Samule Leamon Younge Jr.

Tuskegee, AL
Raised in the black middle class, Sammy Younge Jr. was energized by the Civil Rights Movement and began to challenge both white and black elites.
A white gas station attendant shot him after an argument over segregated bathrooms. Younge, 21, was the first black college student killed for civil rights activism. |
