In 1957 William and Daisy Myers moved their family into the Dogwood Hollow section of Levittown and were met with racist harassment and threats from a small portion of the, previously, all white neighborhood. Eventually the situation would require intervention by state authorities as the Myers family refused to be chased out of their home. Later, their case received national attention and Daisy Myers was hailed as "The Rosa Parks of the North".
