



Segregation in the South







Jim Crow laws created in the South in the late 1800s
to ensure segregation after Reconstruction. (i.e.
“whites only” water fountains)
Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896) – Supreme Court decision
that established “separate but equal.”
Southern Democrats in Congress banded together to
obstruct attempts to pass federal civil rights
legislation & keep the status quo (the existing
system of segregation)
– Known as the Congressional Bloc
– Many governors from the South, such as George
Wallace (Alabama), Lester Maddox (Georgia), and
Orval Faubus (Arkansas) believed in the status quo
Case would be the landmark case for civil rights until
the 1950s
“Separate but Equal”
Civil Rights in the 1940s






the 1st African American to
cross the “color line” and
join the major leagues in
1947
Truman demanded his
inauguration be integrated
when he was re-elected
Federal order to
desegregate the armed
forces and discriminatory
hiring in the federal
government in 1948

groups such as Tuskegee
Airmen during WWII
Sweatt v. Painter


NAACP won a case involving the right of Herman
Sweatt, an African American, who wanted to
attend the Law School at UT-Austin
– Texas argued that its constitution prohibited integrated
education
– Created a separate law school for Blacks
– Thurgood Marshall argued the case for NAACP



Supreme Court ruled that the separate school
failed to qualify as “separate but equal” in
facilities with other future lawyers and Sweatt
was allowed to attend with White students
– Isolated from peers they would work with in future
Civil Rights up to 1960
Desegregation in Schools


Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) –
Supreme Court overturned Plessy and said
segregation was now illegal.
– Linda Brown was denied admission to a whites
only school that was only 6 blocks from her
home. She had to be bused for miles to the all
black school. Filed suit.
– Thurgood Marshall argued successfully for
Brown.
– Marshall later became the 1st African American
to the Supreme Court
– Southern schools resisted ruling.
Civil Rights up to 1960
Little Rock Nine








White Citizens Councils formed to stop
segregation.
Little Rock Central High School (1957) – 9 black
students wanted to enroll. They were met with
violence and chants such as “Lynch them.”
Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus sent Arkansas
National Guard to prevent them from entering
– One of many governors in the South to favor
segregation
10,000 National Guards sent to school by Pres.
Eisenhower to protect students.
Faubus tried to shut down the school at the end
of the year but forced to keep it open by the
Supreme Court
Photos of Little
Rock Nine

Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC).

vital in organizing civil rights protests.
 King followed in the nonviolent steps of

Civil Rights Act of 1957






Passed in 1957, Eisenhower passed this law to
increase African-American voting in the South
– Many Southern states made African Americans
pass literacy tests or pay poll taxes (pay to
vote)
Created the Civil Rights Commission and a Civil
Rights Division on the U.S. Justice Department.
– Federal courts now have the power to register
African American voters
Act was ineffective because of complex voting
laws but set the pattern for more civil rights
legislation
