In the 1963 Birmingham Campaign, Bull Conner used fire hoses and police dogs on protesters shocking the nation. It was a turning point in the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s & 60s. King was arrested and wrote his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Bull Conner lost his job, and King became a national hero.
