Rev. Luther Coppedge talks about the harassment his family endured during the mid-1960's after they enrolled their late son Harold Coppedge in an all-white high school in Franklin County, N.C. The Franklin County school system is one of the few North Carolina school districts still under an active court-desegregation order. Rev. Coppedge says his family slept on the floor for years fearing that people might shoot into their home.
