They endured weeks of harassment before the state intervened to protect them. Daisy Myers became known as the "Rosa Parks of the North" and a fair-housing civil rights leader. This is one of the early civil-rights fights of the era and the most nationally significant event in Levittown's history. Key dates within the event: August 15, 1957 — Governor George Leader ordered State Police to Levittown. August 20, 1957 — commonly cited as the date the family became the first African American residents. August 26, 1957 — protesters dispersed and the State Police withdrew. WWW.PENNWIRELESS.ORG
