Racism spread from the South to the North in the 1930s as African Americans migrated during the Great Depression and WWII. Black workers suffered disproportionately high unemployment rates compared to whites during the Depression. New Deal programs promoted equal hiring and wages but rarely benefited blacks in practice. Labor unions also excluded or segregated blacks. The experience of racism in the North during this time, as depicted in August Wilson's play The Piano Lesson, included unequal treatment under Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation until being challenged in the 1950s and 1960s.

Americans in the Great Depression
The Great Depression had widespread impacts across American society in the 1930s. Unemployment soared to 25% as the economy collapsed following the stock market crash of 1929. Hardest hit were farmers during the Dust Bowl drought and African Americans who faced high unemployment and discrimination. While popular culture provided some escape, writers and journalists also critically examined the challenges of the era.
Lesson 5
The document provides instructions for students to work in groups to educate their class about discrimination in the 1920s United States. It outlines what each group needs to produce: a presentation on their topic, a poster summarizing the situation in the 1920s, and an interview with a victim of their group's discrimination. The groups will cover discrimination against Native Americans, immigrants, and African Americans.
Lecture 15: Nixonland
This document discusses the political shifts in the United States from the 1960s through the early 1970s. It summarizes that the Democratic New Deal coalition fell apart as the party embraced civil rights, alienating the white Southern vote. Republicans employed a "Southern Strategy" appealing to racial anxieties to attract Southern white voters. Meanwhile, President Nixon employed rhetoric of "law and order" that also appealed to racial fears. By the early 1970s, the Democratic and Republican parties had significantly realigned along racial lines from the New Deal era.
SOCIAL JUSTICE PRESENTATION
The document discusses gender inequality and discrimination against women, particularly unequal pay. It notes that women globally are often paid less than men for similar work. In the US, statistics show women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. The document also discusses the situation in PNG, where there is no data but cultural factors result in women generally being viewed as inferior and paid less than men, especially in small businesses and shops run by Asians. It argues all humans are equal as created by God and calls for laws in PNG prohibiting gender discrimination and unequal pay.
End of Reconstruction
1) Support for Reconstruction and black rights declined in the North due to economic hard times, racism, and a desire to focus on other issues.
2) President Grant's scandals weakened support for Republicans as corruption charges emerged.
3) By the 1870s, the Republican party shifted from advocating for equality to protecting business interests, contributing to the end of Reconstruction.
17 1 rebuilding the south
Reconstruction began as the process of readmitting the southern states back into the Union after the Civil War from 1865-1877. The South's cities and factories were ruined after the war, leaving many people jobless and homeless with worthless Confederate money. Lincoln proposed a lenient Reconstruction plan that offered amnesty to Southerners who took an oath of loyalty, but Congress disagreed and proposed a stricter plan. The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery in 1865 but freed slaves were left poor, jobless and uneducated with nowhere to go. The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress to provide relief and schools for freed slaves. However, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 and Vice President Andrew Johnson became President.
Reconstruction Of The South Chap17
Reconstruction in the South following the Civil War was a contentious period with competing plans over how to rebuild the former Confederate states. There were debates over granting rights to freed slaves, punishing Confederate leaders, and reintegrating the South into the Union. President Lincoln favored a lenient 10% plan for readmitting states, but he was assassinated in 1865. His successor, Andrew Johnson, took a harsher stance against the South. This led to conflicts with Radical Republicans in Congress who passed their own reconstruction plans over Johnson's veto. Reconstruction ultimately ended in 1877 after a compromise resolved a disputed presidential election. However, the end of federal oversight allowed Southern states to impose Jim Crow laws and disenfranchise black voters.
Ch. 18 Review
This document outlines the rules for a classroom activity called the "Stanley Cup" where students will be split into teams and asked questions about Chapter 18. If a team answers correctly, one player can attempt to score goals by shooting a puck across the classroom floor in three attempts to earn points for their team. The document then lists various terms, people, laws, events, and court cases related to the civil rights movement in the 1960s in the United States.

Sucess and failure of sc853
Reconstruction in South Carolina saw both successes and failures in creating political, educational, and social opportunities for African Americans. Initially, African Americans gained the right to vote and hold office, with half the delegates to South Carolina's constitutional convention being newly freed slaves. However, the rise of violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan led to widespread intimidation and violence targeting African Americans and Republicans. As federal protection withdrew, discrimination increased, culminating in the 1876 Hamburg Massacre and voting irregularities that ended Republican rule in South Carolina.
Presidentialpowershs ppt ver3
The document provides information about US presidents including their demographic characteristics such as being overwhelmingly male, Caucasian, and Protestant. It also notes that most came from wealthy backgrounds and large states. The document then discusses the roles and powers of the US president, both formal powers outlined in the Constitution like commander-in-chief and chief executive, as well as important informal powers like executive orders and agreements that have expanded the office's influence. It concludes with some notable quotes from past presidents about the challenges and responsibilities of the job.
The death of slavery
After the end of slavery during the Civil War, white southerners feared the collapse of the economy and loss of racial hierarchy. This led to the development of Black Codes that curtailed the freedoms of African Americans and forced them into labor contracts. Federal legislation like the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments along with the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Freedmen's Bureau attempted to protect the rights of freed slaves and provide assistance. However, southern states later instituted racial segregation and Jim Crow laws to maintain the racial caste system and white supremacy.
Things fall apart
The document discusses the concept of alienation in Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart. It analyzes how the protagonist Okonkwo experiences alienation on multiple levels. Okonkwo feels alienated from his father and is ruled by a fear of weakness. He is also alienated from his own son Nwoye, who adapts to the new Christian religion brought by white colonizers. Ultimately, Okonkwo's inability to accept change leads to his alienation from his entire clan as he rejects the new social order imposed on his Igbo community.

This document provides definitions for key terms related to the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. It defines important people, policies, events and strategies from this time period such as the Berlin Wall, Fidel Castro, the New Frontier program, the Civil Rights Act, and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society social welfare plan. Multiple choice questions are also included to test understanding of these concepts.
The Legacy of Watergate & The "Accidental President"
The document summarizes the legacy of the Watergate scandal and the presidency of Gerald Ford. It discusses how (1) Watergate led to Nixon's resignation and restored faith in the rule of law, (2) it affected the 1976 election where distrust of government helped elect Jimmy Carter, and (3) Ford granted Nixon a full pardon to heal the nation despite backlash.
History civil rights compared to anti-apartheid movement (1)
The document discusses the goals and tactics of apartheid in South Africa, including racial segregation and discrimination in areas like housing, education, employment, and political participation. It also profiles Nelson Mandela's resistance to apartheid through organizations like the African National Congress and his eventual imprisonment for 27 years. The research question compares Mandela's anti-apartheid movement to the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s in their shared goals of achieving equal rights and ending racist policies and laws.
Life of a freedman
A poll tax was a tax that had to be paid before a person was allowed to vote during Reconstruction in the Southern states. The poll tax, along with literacy tests and grandfather clauses, were used to restrict the voting rights of freedmen and undermine their newly achieved political freedoms after the Civil War. The 24th Amendment later prohibited the use of poll taxes to restrict voting rights.
Terrorism
The document defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." It notes that the same activities can be labeled differently and discusses the history of terrorism in groups like the IRA, LTTE, and Maoists. It argues that the root causes of terrorism are injustices done to people by politicians and that violence will only stop by addressing the underlying injustices faced by groups.
South Africa under Apartheid
South Africa implemented a system of apartheid, or racial segregation, from 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, the white minority government classified citizens by race and enforced laws that favored white people over other races. This included segregating residential and public areas, restricting the movement of non-whites, enforcing inferior education for black citizens, and prohibiting interracial relationships or unions. The apartheid system faced increasing international isolation and sanctions through the 1960s-1980s due to the growing anti-apartheid movement. Eventually, apartheid was dismantled in the early 1990s through negotiations between the African National Congress and the white government, leading to South Africa's first multiracial democratic elections. However, the legacy of apartheid continues
Political changes8 7.3
The political landscape in South Carolina shifted dramatically in the mid-20th century. Strom Thurmond left the Democratic party to become the first Southern senator to switch to the Republican party in 1964 due to the Democratic party's support for civil rights. African American and women's political participation also increased during this time period. Additionally, the Education Improvement Act was passed in the 1980s to provide more funding for education across South Carolina.
Reconstruction
Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.
Reconstruction of the south
The civil war had devastating social, political, and economic consequences for the United States. Socially, while slavery ended, freed black people continued to face discrimination, harassment, and were denied basic rights like education. Politically, black people were prohibited from voting and holding office, depriving them of a voice. Economically, the South's economy and infrastructure were destroyed by the war, forcing a shift away from agriculture. One example reflecting these impacts was the rise of terrorist groups like the Ku Klux Klan targeting black people, which the government failed to address. Overall, the document argues that though slavery ended legally, the civil war left a legacy of ongoing discrimination and imbalance across American society.
Brinkleybr8 ppt ch15
This document summarizes key events and issues during the Reconstruction era following the US Civil War. It discusses the devastated post-war South, competing notions of freedom between newly emancipated black Americans and white Southerners, and the various Reconstruction plans put forth by Lincoln, Congress, and President Johnson. It also examines the establishment of new state governments in the South during Radical Reconstruction, the emergence of sharecropping and poverty among black Americans, and the eventual abandonment of Reconstruction efforts in 1877.
Women’s rights
This document discusses the history of women's rights movements and current issues regarding gender equality around the world. It notes that women gained legal rights in western countries in the 19th century. One turning point was when women gained the right to vote in Europe and North America. Today, issues remain such as lack of rights for women in parts of Africa and Saudi Arabia, increasing rates of femicide or killing of women, and ongoing efforts for greater equality and awareness of women's rights issues globally.
The Era of the Movements for Civil Rights, 1941-1973...and Beyond?
This document provides background on the need for civil rights movements in the United States, focusing on the African American civil rights movement and the women's rights movement. It describes the oppression and lack of rights that African Americans and women faced for much of U.S. history post-Civil War/Reconstruction and through the early-mid 20th century, including lack of voting rights, segregation, violence, and limited economic opportunities. It also outlines some of the early activism and organizations that emerged to advocate for civil rights, such as the NAACP, CORE, and women's suffrage conventions.
150410 Tufts Fletcher School Can US and Russia be friends
The document discusses views and opinions of Russians on various political topics based on a presentation given in the United States in 2015. It summarizes that most Russians do not believe Russia has a functioning democracy and have little trust in their government, seeing it as acting in its own interests rather than the people's. Additionally, Russians hold mixed views of the United States and their relationship, and generally support Putin's actions in Ukraine while believing Western countries have long acted as warmongers against Russia. The document ends by calling for abandoning attempts to influence Russia and instead focusing on long-term mutual interests and consistency between Western words and actions.
Reconstruction and the black experience
During Reconstruction, newly freed African Americans sought to reunite families separated by slavery and build new lives through education, employment, and participation in politics. Freedmen's schools educated over 150,000 students by 1869, though many southern whites opposed these schools. While some hoped the government would provide land, most freed people had to work through sharecropping systems or labor contracts that often led to debt. African Americans were actively involved in politics through the Republican party, holding hundreds of offices, though they faced growing violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan seeking to suppress black rights and voting.
American history
Slavery began in North America in 1619 and existed because it was believed to be God's will and a way to civilize Africans, though slaves faced brutal treatment. The abolitionism movement sought to end slavery and asserted all men are equal. This led to the American Civil War between slave states and free states from 1861-1865. Ultimately, the Union prevailed and slavery was abolished with the 13th amendment's ratification on December 6, 1865, though discrimination continued.

Chapter from a raw dealto a new deal1 9 2 9 1 9 4 5
The document summarizes the impact of the Great Depression on African Americans. It describes how African Americans were disproportionately affected by unemployment, which rose above 50% in northern cities. As opportunities declined, migration to cities continued, intensifying poverty in urban black communities. Racism further compounded issues, as white workers and unions tried to replace black workers. The Republican administration of Herbert Hoover did little to relieve the suffering of the poor and destitute.
Group 1--Shauntel, Ditra, Aaron, Jack
The document summarizes a presentation on how racial stratification and gender inequality are "moving targets" over time. It discusses the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North from 1910-1970 as they sought freedom and opportunity. It then explains how de jure segregation laws enforced racial segregation after the Civil War. Next, it outlines some of the technological, economic, and social changes that led to racial and gender inequality in the workplace. The presentation concludes by discussing affirmative action and how its goals and legal status have evolved over time.

Main points -Patrick Moynihan, The Negro Family (1965)
This document analyzes Patrick Moynihan's 1965 report "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action". The summary is:
1) Moynihan argued that the deterioration of the African American family structure, particularly the absence of strong father figures, has negatively impacted the African American community and is a key factor in social issues faced.
2) He attributed this in large part to historical discrimination and segregation policies that undermined the role of African American males.
3) Unemployment of African American males has contributed to forcing the community into a matriarchal structure rather than the nuclear family model of other communities.
4) Moynihan calls for a national effort to

World War II had mixed effects on African Americans' fight for equality. While some opportunities arose due to labor shortages, discrimination persisted. The war highlighted the contradiction between America's principles of freedom and blacks' unequal status. New Deal programs aimed to relieve the Depression failed to safeguard African Americans against racial discrimination in the South. Overall, World War II brought both progress and setbacks for civil rights.
Slave Society
The slave trade was banned in 1808, but the enslaved black population still grew to 4 million by 1860 through reproduction. By then, there were around 250,000 freed blacks mostly in the upper South. Freed blacks faced restrictions on where they could work and live. Abolitionists like Theodore Dwight Weld, William Lloyd Garrison, and David Walker published works condemning slavery and calling for emancipation, while the American Colonization Society unsuccessfully tried to transport blacks to Africa. Southerners defended slavery and said it benefited blacks, while abolitionist speeches in the North angered mobs.
Anti-Black violence: How it’s used to control America
This document discusses the history of anti-black violence in America and how it has been used to control the population and working classes. It notes that lynchings and other violent acts against black Americans have been used to divide working class whites and blacks. More recently, a resurgence of anti-black violence and rhetoric has occurred as global capitalists seek to impose fascism and lower living standards to turn the world into an investment colony. However, the document argues that the creation of a large, multi-racial unemployed class provides an opportunity for working class unity across racial lines to fight back against these oppressive conditions.
The New Afro-American Nationalism, Dr. John Henrik Clarke (Fall 1961)
The document discusses the rise of a new Afro-American nationalism in response to the murder of Patrice Lumumba. It outlines several nationalist groups that emerged in Harlem advocating for Black pride and a return to African customs and religion. The Black Muslim movement is highlighted as the largest and most dynamic of these groups, appealing to Black Americans who felt they had lost faith in the United States and were still denied full citizenship and dignity. The document examines how these new nationalist ideologies reflected a growing search for identity and rejection of the cultural legacies of slavery among African Americans.
Abolitionism in black and white
The document discusses the abolition movement which sought to end slavery of African Americans in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. It began as black resistance to slavery and grew as Christian morality and revolutionary ideas spread in the late 1700s. Abolitionists in Europe and Britain succeeded in banning the slave trade by 1807. In the US, abolitionism increased with slave rebellions and the work of Quakers and radical abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison. The Underground Railroad helped slaves escape to the North and Canada. The Civil War and 13th Amendment ultimately led to the legal end of slavery in 1865, though discrimination continued.
Progressand poverty
This document summarizes a chapter on progress and poverty from the 1990s. It covers divergent economic and social realities for African Americans, conservative policies under Reagan that impacted civil rights, and growth in black artistic and political representation. Global issues like the end of apartheid in South Africa and Bill Clinton's presidency focusing on racial reconciliation are also addressed.
Black Power
The document discusses the rise of the Black Power movement in the 1960s. It began with Malcolm X advocating for black self-determination and control of the civil rights movement. The term "Black Power" was coined in 1967 and became an ideology for black youth calling for an end to white power. The Vietnam War also divided black America as blacks made up a disproportionate number of casualties. Martin Luther King Jr.'s opposition to the war shifted blacks' views and led to attempts to discredit him, culminating in his 1968 assassination. The Black Power movement inspired black separatism and nationalism through literature and art and groups like the Black Panthers.
USA Depth Study New Deal
1) During the Great Depression, desperate people organized to help themselves and each other in the absence of assistance from the government or businesses. This included groups like the Sharecroppers Union and Workers Alliance that helped prevent evictions.
2) Self-help organizations formed across the country where people exchanged goods and services without money, including over 300,000 members in 330 groups in 37 states by the end of 1932.
3) In Pennsylvania, unemployed miners dug small illegal mines on company property, mined "bootleg" coal, and sold it below market rates, producing over 5 million tons and evading prosecution through jury and jailer support.
The Political Background to Apartheid in South Africa
The document summarizes the development of apartheid policies in South Africa from the early 20th century. It describes how Afrikaner nationalism intensified in the 1930s, promoting the idea that Afrikaners were a chosen people meant to rule South Africa. This ideology supported the development of apartheid policies after the National Party victory in the 1948 election, which legalized racial segregation and discrimination. The new government passed extensive apartheid legislation between 1949-1953 to codify racial segregation and the oppression of non-white racial groups.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 1. What was the experience of racism for blacks in the North in the 1930's? By Saron Kebede
- 2. Significance ● Racism spreaded out from south to north. ● Tensions increased in the North as African- Americans migrated there, especially during WWII and the Great Depression. ● The migration of blacks to the North led to the election of President Roosevelt which in turn led to improvement of segregation laws.
- 3. The Great Depression ● Black community suffered worse than White community; 50% or more unemployment for Black workers and 30% for white workers ● National Recovery Act (NRA): created by the liberal Roosevelt administration ○ its goal was nondiscriminatory hiring and an equal wages for Whites and Blacks ○ RESULT: rare hiring and unequal wages for Blacks ○ Almost every labor organization gave no opportunity for Blacks to participate. ● Blacks were either excluded or forced to organize in separate unions and when they try to organize, they are often the target for lynch mobs.
- 4. Connection to The Piano Lesson ● the book was centered on racism and the problems black people faced during the 20th century. ● Winning Boy: "Now that's the difference between the colored man and the white man. the colored man can't fix nothing with the law." ○ White people's control of the law was the main advantage they had over black people. ○ hints at the Jim Crow laws: "separate but equal" treatment of both White and Blacks races. This law Applied to separating Restaurants, Bathrooms ,schools, hotels and even the United States military, until integrated by Harry S. Truman after WWII.
- 5. Jim Crow law ● 1874- 1975 ● anti-blacks law ● challenged by Rosa parks in 1955
