They used King and Shuttlesworth to lift the Negro laws. The Negro laws were very strict. The laws prevented black people from freedom and freedom of speech and many other privileges.

The characters in the Watson go to Birmingham the author used things to show that the book is about 1963. The 16thstreet church was bomed on September 15 1963.
