The Civil Rights Movement
a. When did the civil rights movement begin?
Year 1955
b. What was the civil rights movement about?
The African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968) refers to the movements in the United States aimed at outlawing racial discrimination against African Americans and restoring voting rights in Southern states.
The civil rights movement was a worldwide political movement for equality before the law occurring between approximately 1950 and 1980. In many situations it took the form of campaigns of civil resistance aimed at achieving change by nonviolent forms of resistance.
c. State some of the significant incidents that took place in the civil rights movements (choose 2-3 incidents and state them briefly not in great detail)
Brown v. Board of Education, 1954 - a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional
Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955–1956 - a political and social protest campaign that started in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, intended to oppose the city's policy of racial segregation on its public transit system
Desegregating Little Rock, 1957 - Nine black students integrate with white students at Central High School in Little Rock, AR. President Dwight Eisenhower sends the paratroopers in to ward off any violence.
d. Which Singapore President supported the civil rights
movement?
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
President John F. Kennedy
President Lyndon B. Johnson
e. What was the outcome of this movement?
Lead to improvements in the legal rights of previously oppressed groups of people.
f. In what way is the Civil Rights movement related to TKAM?
Both involved the human rights of the African Americans and how they were treated by the Whites and how people tried to fight against it.
Reflections:
I feel that the African Americans should also have their own rights, and it is good that someone would stand up for the African Americans, so that the prejudice against them would be less and the Whites would not treated them like slaves anymore. The Civil Rights Movement allowed the African Americans to finally hold a position in the society, and I am very glad that the Movement took place. Of it had not took place, more African Americans would have been the victims of the KKK, and many of the African Americans would have died, and America would be weak because of the internal wars going on. Therefore, I believe that the Civil Rights Movement was a very significant event in America history.
