Bull Connor was a big part of the Birmingham Campaign, he set fire hoses and dogs on the protesters in the hope that they would stop. When he died, Birmingham lost their most valuable tool and they grew weak, which is when Martin Luther King and SCLC came in and started to desegregate lunch counters, buses etc... President John F Kennedy later said of him, "The Civil Rights Movement should thank God for Bull Connor. He's helped it as much as Abraham Lincoln."
