Answers #2

Rights Movement and the Civil War?

fought to end slavery, Civil Rights
Movement was fought and won to stop
discrimination between white people and
black people.
29. 5 Essential Answers #3
How did Martin Luther King Jr. make such a
change?
He made a big change with his “I have a
dream” speech and he was also involved
in several groups and riots for change,
30. What was behind the prejudice behind the white
people and the black people?
The prejudice of the whites and blacks are similar to the prejudice of Germans and
Jews. The whites are trying to stay the perfect race when suddenly all these
colored people come to America. Whites try to solve that by making the colored
slaves, but that only lead to the Civil War. After the whites and blacks became
“equal” whites are still mad.
31. Why was Emmett till’s death so important to the Civil Rights Movement?
5 ESSENTIAL ANSWERS #5
When Emmett Till was murdered, the trial
for the murderers was unfair because the
jury was all white. The death of a child is
more shocking than the death of an adult,
and many people were mad seeing the
killers walk on by after they just killed a
boy.

In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience. and inspiring his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, "l Have a Dream", he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. While at seminary King became acquainted with Mohandas Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent social protest. On a trip to India in 1959 King met with followers of Gandhi.

The Children’s Crusade was the name bestowed upon a march by hundreds of school students in Birmingham, Alabama, on May 2, May 3, and May 4, 1963, during the American Civil Rights Movement's Birmingham Campaign.
