This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

Answer:
Between that time Alabama had witnessed bombings in Birmingham and there was a face off between Wallace and Federal Forces over the matter of the University of Alabama.
Explanation:
George Corley Wallace was born on 25th August 1919. He was a supporter of the Jim Crow laws of segregation. In 1962, Wallace was selected for governor and took his governorship on the promise of keeping with segregation and economic issues. According to the author, when in 1958, Wallace stood against John Patterson, he denied using segregation and race as a tool but after realizing the power of this tool he supported it when he again stood for the election in 1962. In his governance, he denied the enrollment of black students at the University of Alabama.
<u>On 15th September 1963, Birmingham witnessed bombings at the Street Baptist Church that killed four young girls and left many injured. The church was the congregation of black people and also a place where civil rights leaders would gather. There was a face-off between Wallace and Federal forces during that time.</u>
Wuthering Heights, a manor in the Yorkshire moors, is associated with all that is primeval, natural, passionate, and wild. The residents of this manor, the Earnshaws and Heathcliff, exhibit a similar ruggedness and wildness in their behavior. This manor, as Lockwood observes, looks more like the home of a northern farmer than that of a gentleman.
In contrast, Thrushcross Grange symbolizes the sophisticated, civilized world. The manor is opulent, manicured, and well maintained. Similarly, the Lintons represent the refined English gentry, who are conscious of their status and display proper social etiquette and behavior. We get a view of the residents of Thrushcross Grange from what Heathcliff tells Nelly in chapter 6:
The light came from thence; they had not put up the shutters, and the curtains were only half closed. Both of us were able to look in by standing on the basement, and clinging to the ledge, and we saw—ah! it was beautiful—a splendid place carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered chairs and tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold, a shower of glass-drops hanging in silver chains from the centre, and shimmering with little soft tapers. Old Mr. and Mrs. Linton were not there; Edgar and his sisters had it entirely to themselves.
Nelly’s comment in chapter 6 also conveys the civilized traits of the Lintons:
‘They are good children, no doubt, and don’t deserve the treatment you receive, for your bad conduct.’
The sentence is missing two words, "will" and "a."
the corrected version would be:
