The Birmingham Children's Crusade was a nonviolent protest in Birmingham, Alabama from May 2–5, 1963. This moment in history resulted in the desegregation of public facilities in Birmingham. It also became a launching point for March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August 1963. However, this was not a quickly put together march to demand desegregation of the most city in America. The building tension of lunch counter sit-ins, boycotts, and protests nationwide called Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to return to Birmingham in April 1963 to begin the launch of “Project C.” C represented confrontation, but as always, nonviolent confrontation; ordering food at segregated lunch counters, praying in parks and steps of city halls, boycotting segregated stores, etc. Knowing that scores of the protesters would be arrested, King hoped to overwhelm Birmingham's jails, thus forcing Eugene "Bull" Connor, Birmingham's Police Commissioner to desegregate the city.

Bevel, a Navy veteran who became a minister from Itta Bena, Mississippi, found deep roots in Old Testament prophets and often wore a Jewish skullcap. After attending a seminar led by James Lawson, a fierce pacifist who firmly believed in training students in “the struggle of racial injustice,” Bevel saw the distinction between white oppression and blacks “accepting the status quo.” Interestingly, Diane Nash and Gloria Johnson also attended this workshop. As cited in David Oshinsky's article, Lawson taught, “The time had come for young people to move beyond the passivity of their elders. Segregation would end when devoted Christians, doing God’s work on earth, led a nonviolent crusade to destroy it. The struggle required physical courage, unshakable conviction and a willingness to forgive those who would beat and even murder them out of ignorance and fear… they were going to love segregation to death”. Approaching the Birmingham Children's Crusade with this background, Bevel spoke to the young students at Saturday nonviolent training sessions, “You are responsible for segregation

A noble metal is a metal that is in some way similar to gold. Normally, this means it is resistant to corrosion and oxidation in air, but more specific definitions exist in different fields of chemistry, with different levels of "nobility" for different elements depending on the definition. Gold, silver, and the platinum group metals are usually considered noble. Sometimes, mercury and copper can be regarded as noble metals; in specific cases, other elements like rhenium are added. Some metals like nickel and titanium resist corrosion but are not considered noble because of their other properties, like how they react with oxygen. Noble metals are valuable, because they are not commonly found in the Earth's crust. They have many uses in everyday things including chemical engineering, electronics, and jewelry.
