New Article Bodies Being Added[edit]

Hello! There seemed to be some important information on two chapters of CORE in New York City, the Brooklyn and the Harlem chapters. Because of this, Brwolfgang21 and I are adding two article bodies detailing their contributions and overall impact throughout their time being active.

Major Edits and Minor Edits[edit]

I added two new paragraphs into the article about the start of the Kentucky chapters of CORE and also some of the early movements that they had. I also took some of the paragraphs that were already in the article and added grammatical fixes and also some extensions to them to add more context and make sure that readers understand exactly what those paragraphs are talking about.

Major and Minor Edits[edit]

Added Irene Morgan and Morgan v. Virginia section following the 'Founding' section. Under the "Freedom Rides" section, added subheadings to differentiate between the Journey of Reconciliation and the First Freedom Ride; specifically changed the sentence structure of the first and last sentences under the Journey of Reconciliation section; changed sentence structure of the first sentence under The First Freedom Ride and added additional information to that section; also added an image to The First Freedom Ride section depicting the event. Added section on the Louisiana chapter of CORE and the notion of armed self-defense within CORE
