Sammy Younge, Jr.
Samuel "Sammy" Leamon Younge, Jr. (November 17, 1944 – January 3, 1966) was a civil rights, and voting rights activist who was murdered for trying to desegregate a "Whites Only" restroom. Younge was an enlisted service member in the United States Navy, where he served for two years before being medically discharged.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement Veterans -- Sammy Younge )〕 Younge was an active member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and a leader of the Tuskegee Institute Advancement League.〔
Younge was the first African American university student to be murdered in the United States due to his actions in support of the Civil Rights Movement.〔 Three days after his death, the SNCC became the first civil rights organization in the United States to oppose the Vietnam War, partly on the grounds that like Younge, innocent civilians should not face deadly violence.
==Early life==
Younge was born on November 17, 1944, in Tuskegee, Alabama. His father, Samuel Younge Sr., was an occupational therapist, and his mother was a local schoolteacher.〔 From the ages of 12 to 14, Younge attended Cornwall Academy, in Massachusetts.〔 He later graduated from Tuskegee Institute High School, in 1962, before joining the United States Navy. Younge served as a sailor until July 1964, when he was medically discharged after having to have one of his kidneys removed.〔 Upon his discharge from the Navy, Younge began attending the Tuskegee Institute, in 1965, as a political science student.
