Blacks debated about which tactics to use to end segregation. Audrey's parents tried legal measures. In 1959, they sued the city of Birmingham to integrate its public parks. They won that case, but in 1962, the city closed all of its parks, swimming pools, playgrounds, and golf courses – white as well as black – to avoid having to integrate. The city even filled the holes on the putting greens with concrete.
