This story was told to me by my father Dr. C.B. Hauser about his challenge of the Jim Crow Laws a full 9 years before the Rosa Parks incident that sparked the modern Civil Rights Movement. My father, Dr. Charlie Brady Hauser, was born October 13, 1917, in Yadkinville, NC, the 3rd child of 13. He earned a B. S from Winston-Salem State, and an M.S. and Ed D from the University of Pennsylvania. He was a principal and professor at West Virginia State College, Allen University and at Winston-Salem State. As a staff sergeant in the W.W.II he won A Good Conduct Medal and an ETO Ribbon with 5 Battle Stars. He was arrested and awarded a $2,000 settlement when he challenged the North Carolina Jim Crow Laws in 1947.
