In the Plessy v. Ferguson case of 1896, the Supreme Court ruled that this separate but equal law did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees all Americans equal treatment under the law. Armed with the Plessy decision, states throughout the nation, but especially in the South, passed what were known as Jim Crow laws, aimed at separating the races. After the Civil War, some African Americans tried to escape Southern racism by moving north. This migration of Southern African Americans speeded up greatly during World War I, as many African-American sharecroppers abandoned farms for the promise of industrial jobs in Northern cities. However, they discovered racial prejudice and segregation there, too. In many ways, the events of World War II set the stage for the civil rights movement. First, the demand for soldiers in the early 1940s created a shortage of white male laborers. That labor shortage opened up new job opportunities for African Americans, Latinos, and white women. Second, nearly one million African Americans served in the armed forces, which needed so many fighting men that they had to end their discriminatory policies. Many African-American soldiers returned from the war determined to fight for their own freedom now that they had helped defeat fascist regimes overseas. Third, during the war, civil rights organizations actively campaigned for African-American voting rights and challenged Jim Crow laws. The desegregation campaign was led largely by the NAACP, which had fought since 1909 to end segregation. One influential figure in this campaign was Charles Hamilton Houston, a brilliant Howard University law professor. In deciding the NAACPs legal strategy, Houston focused on the inequality between the separate schools that many states provided. At that time, the nation spent ten times as much money educating a white child as an African-American child. Thus, Houston focused the organizations limited resources on challenging the most glaring inequalities of segregated public education. In 1938, he placed a team of his best law students under the direction of Thurgood Marshall. Over the next 23 years, Marshall and his NAACP lawyers would win 29 out of 32 cases argued before the Supreme Court. Marshalls most stunning victory came on May 17, 1954, in the case known as Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In this case, the father of eight-year-old Linda Brown had charged the board of education of Topeka, Kansas, with violating Lindas rights by denying her admission to an all-white elementary school four blocks from her house. The nearest all-black elementary school was 21 blocks away. In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down segregation in schooling as an unconstitutional violation of the Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote that, [I]n the field of public education, the doctrine of separate but equal has no place. The Brown decision was relevant for some 12 million schoolchildren in 21 states. ~ The Americans 1. This Supreme Court case ended segregation in public schools (1) Marbury v. Madison (2) Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka 2. The leading lawyer in the Brown v. Board of Education case was (1) Thurgood Marshall (2) Dwight D. Eisenhower Jackie Robinson and Crossing the Color Line: In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American baseball player to cross the color line and join the major leagues In 1948, President Truman ordered the desegregation of the armed forces Brown v. Board of Education, 1954: Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote the unanimous decision, ruling that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional Separate-but-equal has no place in the field of public education. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. In Arkansas, the governor refused to provide special protection to nine black students attending an all-white high school in Little Rock President Eisenhower ordered federal troops to Little Rock to ensure that the students could attend the schoolDr. Martin Luther King Jr.: A Baptist minister, Dr. King emerged in the late 1950s as the main leader Like Gandhi before him, King believed in non-violence that passive resistance to unjust laws could change the attitudes of oppressors. King carried out this resistance through civil disobedience if the government passed an unjust law, people should break the law and face the consequencesMontgomery Bus Boycott, 1955-1956: In the 1950s, old Jim Crow laws in Southern states still prevented African Americans from sharing restaurants, water fountains, or public buses with whites. When Rosa Parks, a seamstress, was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger, local black leaders began a 13-month boycott of the citys public buses. Dr. King emerged as the leader of the boycott.Sit-Ins and Freedom Rides in the South, 1960 1961: In 1960, African-American students held a sit-in at a Whites Only lunch counter in North Carolina In 1961, interracial groups rode buses in Freedom Rides throughout the South The Freedom Riders sought to create confrontations in hope that the federal government would intervene ~ The Key to Understanding U.S. HistoryWho was Jackie Robinson and why was he significant? ________________________________________________________________________ What did President Truman order in 1948? ________________________________________________________________________ Why was Brown v. the Board of Education a significant Supreme Court case? ________________________________________________________________________ What happened in Little Rock, Arkansas? ________________________________________________________________________ What did the governor of Little Rock fail to do? ________________________________________________________________________ Why did President Eisenhower order federal troops to Little Rock? ________________________________________________________________________ Who was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and what did he believe? ________________________________________________________________________ Define civil disobedience. ________________________________________________________________________ Define nonviolence. ________________________________________________________________________ Who was Rosa Parks and why was she significant? ________________________________________________________________________ Identify several facts about the Montgomery Bus Boycott. ________________________________________________________________________ What was Jim Crow segregation? ________________________________________________________________________ How did the Civil Rights Movement challenge Jim Crow segregation? ________________________________________________________________________ Describe the sit-in that occurred in 1960. ________________________________________________________________________ What were the Freedom Rides? ________________________________________________________________________ Why did the Freedom Riders often face violence and death? ________________________________________________________________________ When Dr. King led a march in Birmingham, Alabama, in opposition to segregation, he was arrested.

Why do you think African Americans could no longer wait for their constitutional rights? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In 1963, Dr. King and other Civil Rights leaders called for a March on Washington in support of a new Civil Rights bill pending in Congress. A quarter of a million people attended the march. Dr. King gave his famous I Have a Dream Speech. What do you think was Dr. Kings dream? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As a result of the March on Washington and the assassination of President Kennedy, President Johnson pushed a bill through Congress. The act prohibited discrimination based on race, color, religion, or ethnic origin in hotels, restaurants, and in places of employment doing business with federal government or engaged in interstate commerce. This Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a turning point.

Eisenhower sent Federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1957 school integration crisis, he was exercising his constitutional power as Chief Legislator Commander-in-Chief Chief Diplomat Head of State Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. -Brown v. Board of Education 6. The effect of this Supreme Court ruling was to establish affirmative action programs in higher education require the integration of public schools desegregate the armed forces and the military academies force states to spend an equal amount on each public school student Spotlight: On the Road to Equal Voting Rights In 1965, Dr. King went to Selma, Alabama, to organize a march demanding the vote for African Americans. When demonstrators were attacked, President Johnson reacted by introducing a voting rights bill The Voting Rights Act of 1965 ended poll taxes, suspended literacy tests where they were used to prevent African Americans from voting, and led to a substantial increase in the number of African-American voters. The Twenty-Fourth Amendment, 1964 Eliminated poll taxes in federal elections Questions: What did Dr. King organize in 1965? ________________________________________________________________________ Why did Dr. King organize this? ________________________________________________________________________ What happened to demonstrators? ________________________________________________________________________ How did President Johnson react? ________________________________________________________________________ What was the Voting Rights Act? ________________________________________________________________________ What was the Twenty-Fourth Amendment? ________________________________________________________________________ Primary Source: Excerpt from Dr. Kings Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1963 You may well ask: Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isnt negotiation a better path? You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. The purpose of our direct action program is to create a situation so crisis packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation. I therefore concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved Southland been bogged down in a tragic effort to live in monologue rather than dialogue. Why does Dr. King believe in nonviolent action? ________________________________________________________________________ Why does Dr. King believe nonviolent action is necessary for growth? ________________________________________________________________________ According to Dr. King, what does the South need? ____________________________       & - . 7 k  I J z | / 0 g h X Y E F 57)+:;pq2 hyVi5hyVihyVi5 hS 5hS hS 5hNhN56]hNhN5 hN5 hT15 h>5M   Lc $IfgdyVi $IfgdlngdyVigdNgd>$a$gd> 23opOPat56<?[\^  CD{|%&8Uxy  Ӿ hN5hyVihyVi56hyVi56]hyVihyVi56]hyVihyVi5\hyVihyVi56\]hyVihyVi5hS hS 5\hS hS 5 hyVi5@ Pcg0  '()ptXY˹˱ñˍ˅ˍ˅{˗h]nhR 5>*h]nhX25h]nhX25>*h]nh: 5h]nhR 5h]nh}56h]nh}5h]nh),}5>*h]nh),}5h]nh95h]nh95>*h[h[<h[hO#5h[hln56h[hln502xqh[[  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd>gd[kd$$Ifl0H$ t0644 lapyt[ ~~~~  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd>jkd$$Ifl$h% t0644 layt]n  )t~~~  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd>jkd$$Ifl$h% t0644 layt]n\)X~~~  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd>jkd$$Ifl$h% t0644 layt]nXYA~~~  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd>jkd$$Ifl$h% t0644 layt]nv j!k!!!!''''))),+,,083S3n4p4y444669'9)969e9{999;;;?@ƹƴƬ}}}h8/h8/5 h8/5 hUs5hUshUs5>*h]nhTM56]h]nhTM5h]nh&Q!5 h!5hHhH5 hln5 hH5 h~>5hlnh56 h5h]nh95h]nh5h]nh: 5h]nhR 5/elY k!!-""*###$$$ & Fgd: jkdt$$Ifl$h% t0644 layt]n$%'),Y---.V.W.../2/e/g///A00  & F $Ifgd]n  & F $Ifgd]n $Ifgd&Q!  & F $Ifgd]n  & F$Ifgd]n & FgdH & Fgd: 0000000000H1x111 2 222222  & F$Ifgd]n $IfgdTM  & F$Ifgd]n  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd]n $Ifgd&Q!  & F $Ifgd]n2273T3333'4l4m4n4o4 $Ifgd!  & F$Ifgd]n $Ifgd]n $IfgdTM o4p445f5:6\6667|tldt\WO & FgdUsgdUs & FgdUs & FgdUs & FgdUs & FgdUsgd?C}}kd$$Ifl0$  t0644 lahytln 7j77?889e9=??E@@ & Fgd8/gd8/gdUs & FgdUs 21h:pT1/ =!"#$% $$If!vh#v:V l t065pyt[x$$If!vh#vh%:V l t065h%yt]nx$$If!vh#vh%:V l t065h%yt]nx$$If!vh#vh%:V l t065h%yt]nx$$If!vh#vh%:V l t065h%yt]nx$$If!vh#vh%:V l t065h%yt]n$$Ifh!vh#v#v :V l t0655 ahytlnb 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~PJ_HmH nH sH tH J`J T1Normal dCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRi@R 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List H`H > No SpacingCJ_HaJmH sH tH jj 9 Table Grid7:V0PK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭V$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
