Week 7 day four civil rights 1964 75
After the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, conditions did not drastically improve for most African Americans and impatience with the slow pace of change led some to more radical methods. The Freedom Summer campaign in 1964 aimed to register black voters in Mississippi but faced violence. The 1965 Selma march pressured Congress to pass voting rights laws, resulting in the Voting Rights Act. However, discrimination and poverty still plagued urban communities, sparking riots in cities in 1967. New leaders like the Black Panthers advocated for black power, while King continued nonviolent advocacy until his 1968 assassination.

The Slavery in the USA
The document discusses the history of slavery in the United States from the colonial period through the Civil War. It notes that slavery existed since colonial times, with slaves primarily of African descent used to work large plantations growing crops like tobacco, cotton, and sugar. The system denied slaves basic rights and freedoms. The Civil War was fought over the issues of slavery and states' rights, culminating in the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves and the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery nationwide.
Week 7 day two civil rights 1940s 50s
After World War II, African Americans continued facing widespread legal and social segregation despite some gains. They began challenging segregation through legal and protest efforts, including the historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declaring segregated schools unconstitutional, and the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott organized by Martin Luther King Jr in response to Rosa Parks' arrest. However, massive resistance to desegregation persisted through the late 1950s, such as when the National Guard blocked African American students from attending a desegregated high school in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.
Americas Civil War
The document summarizes key events and developments related to race relations in the United States after the Civil War. It discusses the formation of the Confederate States, the results of the Civil War including the end of slavery, and the continued persecution of African Americans through laws and organizations like the Jim Crow laws, the Ku Klux Klan, and Plessy v. Ferguson decision upholding "separate but equal". It also outlines the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-60s and its role in advancing racial equality.
Racism in the united states
Racism has been a major issue in the United States since the colonial era. The document discusses the history of racism against several racial groups including Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latin Americans. It describes how these groups faced legally sanctioned discrimination and were denied equal rights and opportunities in areas such as voting, land ownership, education, and more. Racism persisted through institutions like slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow laws, and its legacy continues to influence socioeconomic inequality and racial issues today.
Chapter 8 Section 3
During this time period in the US, racism led to widespread segregation and discrimination. Segregation was legal and enforced in the South through Jim Crow laws, which separated public spaces by race. Violence against African Americans was also common, with over 1,400 lynchings from 1882-1892 alone. The 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court ruling established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing racial segregation to continue for decades. Discrimination also affected other groups like Mexican, Asian, and Native Americans through systems like debt peonage.
Internal colonialism
Patterns of racial and ethnic relations refer to the regular ways in which dominant groups treat subordinate groups. These patterns include internal colonialism, where non-white indigenous groups in colonized countries are controlled and exploited by white immigrant groups after independence, rather than whites from the colonizing country. Internal colonialism is created through population transfer or expulsion and results in slavery, segregation, discrimination, prejudice, violence, and intergenerational inequalities. It also leads to a split labor market with a primary market for the dominant group and a secondary market for minorities, dividing the working class along racial lines and compounding income and wealth inequality.
Ush ch. 24 section 5 notes
As the document begins, it notes that at the turn of the 21st century, American society was changing and facing new challenges compared to the previous century. Immigration policies were relaxed through laws like the Immigration Act of 1990, leading to a large influx of over 1 million new immigrants annually, most from Latin America and Asia. This changing demographic landscape was increasingly diverse but also debated issues like bilingual education and illegal immigration. Additionally, factors like divorce becoming more common, women increasingly working, and debates around topics like affirmative action, standardized testing in schools, and reforms to Social Security showed how American society was being transformed at the century's start.
Week 7 day three civil rights 1960 64
Student activists engaged in nonviolent protests like sit-ins and freedom rides to challenge segregation laws. The violent response in Birmingham mobilized support for civil rights legislation. In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington. The following year, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, outlawing discrimination in public places and employment.

Racial segregation in the United States stemmed from white supremacist attitudes that took hold during Reconstruction. These attitudes corrupted the goals of equality and led to oppression through policies like Jim Crow laws and segregation. Attempts at establishing equality, such as amendments and court rulings, did not succeed in overturning generations of racial prejudice and the belief in white supremacy. It was not until the civil rights movement in the 1950s-60s, sparked by events like Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger, that major progress was made toward legally establishing racial equality. However, racism still persists in societal attitudes today.
Meeting 27: What is a Civil Rights Movement?
This document provides a history of civil rights in the United States from WWII through the 1970s. It discusses how WWII helped spur the civil rights movement by integrating the military and passing the GI Bill. Key events and figures of the civil rights movement are then summarized, including the Brown vs Board of Education ruling, Rosa Parks' bus protest, the Selma marches, and the assassinations of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 are also mentioned.
The New Jim Crow
The document summarizes key points from chapters 4-6 of Michelle Alexander's book "The New Jim Crow". It discusses how policies such as the War on Drugs have led to mass incarceration that disproportionately impacts African Americans. It notes that more black Americans are now under correctional control than were enslaved before the Civil War. It examines policies that restrict housing, employment, voting rights, and public assistance for those with criminal records, creating a racial caste system. It argues this system parallels Jim Crow by using race-neutral language to discriminate and by disenfranchising black communities. It calls for recognizing mass incarceration as a new system of racial control and mobilizing for large-scale reform rather than isolated
Lecture on reconstruction and-the-black-experience- part I

The demand for civil rights
The civil rights movement in the United States sought to end racial discrimination against African Americans and achieve equal rights under the law. From the 1950s to the 1960s, civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. organized nonviolent protests against issues like segregated public facilities and voter disenfranchisement. Major events included the Montgomery bus boycott, the March on Washington, and protests in Birmingham, which helped build support for new civil rights laws banning discrimination. However, tensions remained over full social and economic equality.
CH_6_The Revolution Within
The document discusses the impact of the American Revolution on different groups in society. It led to more democratic ideals like equality and freedom, though these ideals were not extended to all. Women, African Americans, Native Americans, Catholics, Jews and Loyalists faced restrictions on their rights and freedom in the new nation. The Revolution raised questions about slavery and its compatibility with the principles of liberty, leading some Northern states to abolish slavery, though it continued in the South.

1. The document discusses various population geography concepts including birth rates, fertility rates, mortality rates, population density, distribution of population, and factors that influence population growth and carrying capacity.
2. It notes that over 90% of the world's population lives in the Northern Hemisphere, with high densities in coastal and river regions. More than half of the world's population lives in rural areas but urbanization is increasing.
3. Population distribution and density are influenced by factors like climate, resources, economy and policies. Carrying capacity depends on availability of resources and can be increased by things like technology and infrastructure.
Geo: Chapter Three, Section Four
1) The document discusses soil regions and vegetation regions. Soil is a thin layer of weathered rock, humus, air and water that the world's food supply greatly depends on. (2) Humus refers to stable organic matter in soil that lends it a dark color and can remain for centuries. (3) There are typically four main biomes - forest, grassland, desert, and tundra - and the type of vegetation in each region depends on the climate and soil characteristics.
Geo: Chapter Three, Section One
The document discusses the causes of seasons and weather patterns around the world. It explains that the Earth's 23.5 degree tilt and revolution around the sun cause the seasons as different parts of the Earth experience more or less direct sunlight throughout the year. It also defines key weather terminology like climate, weather, precipitation types, and extreme weather events like hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, droughts, and floods. Seasons and weather are influenced by many atmospheric and environmental factors.

Culture and politics of latin america
Latin America is ethnically diverse, with populations descended from indigenous peoples, Europeans, Africans, and immigrants from various parts of the world. While over 90% of Latin Americans are Catholic due to European colonization, the region has a history of European exploitation of resources and peoples, including the genocide of millions of Native Americans and enslavement of Africans over 300 years. In the 19th century, disease and violence had wiped out much of the indigenous population. Some countries gained independence in the early 19th century through wars of liberation against European powers, but economic and political instability continued until recent decades. Regional differences exist, such as Brazil's growing economy versus Bolivia's poverty.
Filipino Americans A
Filipinos are the second largest Asian American subgroup and largest Southeast Asian American group in the US. They have a population of over 4 million and have immigrated in waves since the late 19th century for work. Filipino Americans have strong family and cultural traditions while achieving success in many fields through high educational attainment. They also face some challenges with discrimination and lack of political representation.
California
California was impacted less by the Great Depression due to its diversified economy across agriculture, industry, entertainment and tourism. The Northeast states were more dependent on manufacturing and were hit harder. California had a moderate Republican orientation during this time and there was tension between more conservative and communist-leaning political factions. In 1937, the Townsend movement tried to ease struggles by guaranteeing meals to those over 50, though this created some controversy over eligibility. Race issues, illegal immigration, and bilingual education were ongoing points of debate in California's history.

This document provides a historical overview of the education of dominated cultures in the United States from the colonial period to the present. It discusses how religious, racial, and cultural differences led to the implementation of policies aimed at deculturalization and assimilation through the denial or control of education for Native Americans, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian immigrants over time. It also outlines how the Civil Rights Movement and other liberation struggles helped shift educational policies towards greater cultural pluralism and self-determination in the late 20th century.

It notes that minorities currently comprise over 30% of the population and will become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics increasing from 16% to over 30% of the population. The country is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. It also briefly discusses the historical backgrounds and current demographic characteristics of the major racial groups in America: Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans.
Immigration realities slideshow
This document discusses several issues related to illegal immigration, including:
1) Illegal immigration poses challenges to a nation's legal policies, culture, and sovereignty. If left unchecked, it could destabilize a country and erase its history and traditions.
2) Illegal immigration is a global problem, as people move across borders in search of better opportunities. Several European and Western nations face large immigrant populations that are changing their demographics and cultures.
3) California has experienced a large increase in illegal immigration and its Hispanic population is growing rapidly, changing the state's demographics and culture. If trends continue, Hispanics will become the majority in California.
4) There are reasonable arguments on both sides of the
(£7 INVENTING HISPANICS A DIVERSE MINORITY RESISTS BEI.docx
This document discusses the experiences of Asian Americans and challenges stereotypes about this diverse group. It profiles C.N. Le, who fled Vietnam as a refugee in 1975 with his family after the fall of South Vietnam. While Le barely remembers the experience as a child, his parents found it traumatic to leave their home country behind. The document notes that while Asian American immigrants come from various countries and backgrounds, their common goal is seeking a better life, whether through more education/career opportunities, escaping political conflicts, or making sacrifices to provide opportunities for their children. It aims to provide historical and cultural context for understanding Asian Americans and explain that they are not a homogeneous minority group.

Native Americans originally inhabited what is now the continental United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii. They comprised many distinct tribes and ethnic groups that lived in hunter-gatherer societies with value systems different from European colonists. After colonization, conflicts arose between Native Americans and settlers as the US expanded westward. Today, over 562 federally recognized tribal governments exist with rights to self-governance, though some advocates argue for full sovereignty as independent nations.
Asian Americans Chapter 7 Ppt
- Asian Americans have ancestral roots in various countries across Asia, with the six largest populations coming from China, Japan, the Philippines, India, Korea, and Vietnam.
- While Asian immigration to the US was severely limited until 1960, their population has grown rapidly from 3.5 million in 1980 to 10 million in 2000 and is projected to make up 10% of the US population by 2040.
- While some view Asian Americans as a "model minority" due to educational and economic success, there is great diversity within the population with incomes ranging from over $75,000 to under $10,000 annually.

Native Americans originally inhabited what is now the continental United States and parts of Alaska and Hawaii. They comprised many distinct tribes and ethnic groups that lived in hunter-gatherer societies with different value systems than European colonists. After colonization and the founding of the US, policies aimed to assimilate or relocate Native Americans, often forcibly, leading to conflicts and wars between cultures. Today, over 562 federally recognized tribal governments have sovereignty within the US political system, but some advocates argue this falls short of true self-determination.

- Asian Americans have faced significant discrimination through exclusionary laws and policies as well as social oppression. This has included the Chinese Exclusion Act, internment of Japanese Americans, and the model minority myth.
- While the overall population is often perceived as high achieving, there is
History group project
The document summarizes aspects of slave culture and resistance in America. It describes how slave culture was shaped by elements of African culture but also developed into its own identity over time. Slaves engaged in various forms of resistance such as slow work, sabotage, and running away to fight against the slave system. Strong family and community bonds helped slaves cope with the harsh conditions of slavery. Education was forbidden for slaves but they found ways to learn through oral traditions like music, folk tales and storytelling. The document also outlines differences in slave experiences across regions as well as political and social developments that impacted slavery over the years.
Ethnic And Racial Groups In The Us
The document discusses racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans.

While progress has been made since the civil rights movement, many minority groups still face socioeconomic disadvantages and underrepresentation compared to white Americans.
Chapter 21 presentation
This document summarizes the history of discrimination and civil rights in the United States. It discusses how African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and women faced discrimination and unequal treatment. It then outlines key civil rights legislation passed from the 1950s onward that aimed to outlaw discrimination, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968. The document also discusses changes over time to immigration policy and how American citizenship can be obtained through birth or naturalization.
Between two worlds
This document examines young Latinos ages 16 to 25 in the United States. While data shows they are generally optimistic about their futures, they also face challenges such as higher rates of dropping out of school and teenage pregnancy than other youth. Additionally, they have greater exposure to poverty and gangs. The modern wave of Latin American immigration to the U.S. is unprecedented in size, comprising about half of all immigrants since 1965. However, illegal immigration has become a politically contentious issue, and there is some doubt that today's young Hispanic immigrants will achieve the same upward mobility as previous European immigrant groups.
Abraham Lincoln has the reputation of being the key person in endi.docx
Abraham Lincoln has the reputation of being the key person in ending slavery in our country. Yet it appears that Lincoln held racist beliefs, as indicated in the following ex-cerpt from a speech he delivered in 1858:I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurorsde of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter-marry with white people . . . and in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
234Understanding Human Behavior and the Social EnvironmentSuch a statement needs to be viewed in its historical context. Our country was more racist years ago than it is today. Lincoln, who was in the vanguard of moving for greater equality for African Americans, was also socialized by his culture to have racist attitudes. (The impact of culture on individuals was discussed in Chapter 1.)A PerspectiveNearly every time we turn on the evening news, we see ethnic and racial conflict—riots, beatings, murders, and civil wars. In recent years we have seen clashes resulting in bloody shed in areas ranging from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Syria to Israel, and from the United States to South America. Practically every nation with more than one ethnic group has had to deal with ethnic conflict. The oppression and exploitation of one ethnic group by another is particularly ironic in democratic nations, considering these societies claim to cherish freedom, equality, and justice. In reality, the dominant group in all societ-ies that controls the political and economic institutions rarely agrees to share equally its power and wealth with other ethnic groups. Ethnocentrism and racism are factors that can adversely affect the growth and development of minority group members.Learning ObjectivesThis chapter will help prepare students toLO 1Define and describe ethnic groups, ethnocentrism, race, racism, prejudice, discrimination, oppression, and institutional discriminationLO 2Outline the sources of prejudice and discriminationLO 3Summarize the effects and costs of discrimination and oppres-sion and describe effects of discrimination on human growth and developmentLO 4Suggest strategies for advancing social and economic justiceLO 5Outline some guidelines for social work practice with racial and ethnic groupsLO 6Forecast the pattern of race and ethnic relations in the United States in the futureEP 2aEP 2bEP 2cEP 3aEP 3bLO 1 Define and Describe Ethnic Groups, Ethnocentrism, Race, Racism, Prejudice, Discrimination, Oppression, and Institutional DiscriminationEthnic Groups and EthnocentrismAn ethnic group has a sense of togetherness, a con-viction that its members form a special group, and a sense of common identity ...

Ancient influence on europe and the world
Ancient Greece and Rome had profound influences on modern-day Europe and the world. [1] Greece is considered the birthplace of democracy, developing the first democratic government in Athens in the 5th century BC. [2] The Roman Republic and Empire expanded to control most of Europe and parts of North Africa and the Middle East by the 2nd century AD. [3] The split of the Roman Empire into Western and Eastern halves in 395 AD led to divergent developments in religion, art, and culture between Western Europe and the Byzantine Empire that still impact the world today.
North Africa - GEO - Mr. P
The document discusses various geographic, historical, cultural, and economic influences on North Africa. It notes the influence of the Nile River on early civilizations, the spread of Islam across North Africa beginning in the 7th century, and how the region's economy later came to depend on oil exports to Europe. Culturally, it highlights the importance of souks (markets), music, and changing gender roles. The largest overall influence on North African culture and society has been Islam, which spread widely after the 7th century and remains a major religious influence today.
Chapter 6 US History - Mr. Philen
After the ratification of the Constitution, President George Washington took his first steps in establishing the new government by signing the Judiciary Act of 1789 to create the Supreme Court and establishing the initial three Executive Departments. However, differences soon emerged between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson on the role and power of the federal government, leading to the formation of the first political parties - the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. As these early administrations faced challenges with Native American relations, foreign affairs with Britain and France, and internal dissent, the divisions between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans continued to grow.
GEO:Chapter Four, Section 5
This document discusses key concepts in economic geography including different types of economic systems, levels of economic activity, natural resources, and infrastructure. It also examines standards used to compare economies such as per capita income, GNP, and GDP.

Chapter 4, Section 4
This document discusses several key concepts in urban geography including:
1) The growth of urban areas and how cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas are defined. Urbanization has led to both advantages and disadvantages for areas, societies, and cultures.
2) Models of urban land use including the concentric zone model, sector model, and multiple nuclei model which describe how different functions are arranged within a city.
3) The functions of cities which provide essential services to residents like retail, transportation, business, education, and more. Cities concentrate these functions making them efficient.
Chapter Two, Section 2
Water is essential for life and makes up 71% of the Earth's surface, with oceans helping to distribute heat and drive ocean currents, waves, and tides. The hydrologic cycle involves water evaporating from various sources and surfaces before condensing and falling as precipitation, soaking into the ground or flowing into rivers to be recycled. Different landforms exist both on land and under the oceans, including mountains, plains, canyons, and ridges.
Geo: Unit 1, Chapter 2 Powerpoint

Maps are referenced to show patterns in religious populations around the world.
Chapter 3, Section 1 Colonial England
The document discusses Britain's policies toward its American colonies in the 17th-18th centuries. It established strict trade regulations through Acts like the Navigation Acts to control colonial trade for economic and political gain. However, Britain faced difficulties enforcing these policies as the colonies grew. It began practicing "Salutary neglect", relaxing regulations to maintain colonial loyalty and trade. This inconsistency in policy could have consequences, as the colonies may one day forget their allegiance to Britain and seek independence.
Swasiaphysicalgeo
The document summarizes the physical geography of Southwest Asia, including its landforms, climate, vegetation and human-environment interactions. Some key points are:
- The region has a variety of landforms from coastal plains to mountains, and is an important land bridge between continents. It contains many strategic waterways.
- The climate is mostly arid with deserts limiting movement. Agriculture depends on irrigation of rivers and coastal areas have a Mediterranean climate.
- Half the world's oil reserves are found in Southwest Asia, but water is scarce, forcing various irrigation techniques. Disputes arise over water resources like the Euphrates River.
Ch22 Sw Asia
This document provides an overview of religion, politics, and oil in Southwest Asia, focusing on three main regions: the Arabian Peninsula, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Northeast. It describes the dominant religions of Islam and various sects, the impact of colonialism and formation of nation states after World War I, and ongoing conflicts over land and political power between religious and ethnic groups.

Ch6markstru
1) The document discusses different types of market structures including perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopolies, and monopolies.
2) Perfect competition is characterized by many small sellers, identical products, perfect consumer information and easy entry/exit. Monopolistic competition involves differentiated products and non-price competition.
3) Oligopolies are markets with a few large sellers offering similar products, while monopolies involve a single seller with no close substitutes and high barriers to entry.
Ch5prices
The document discusses the price system and how it guides producers and consumers. It outlines several benefits of the price system, including providing information to consumers, incentives for producers, consumer choice, and flexibility. However, there are also limitations like externalities and public goods that the price system does not always account for efficiently. The goal of the price system is to reach market equilibrium, where supply and demand are balanced. When surpluses or shortages occur, prices adjust through a trial and error process. The government may intervene to control prices through price floors or ceilings, but this can create shortages or surpluses and require rationing.
Econ Ch4supply
The document summarizes key concepts related to supply in microeconomics. It defines supply as the quantity of goods producers are willing to offer at various prices. The law of supply states that producers will supply more goods at higher prices and fewer goods at lower prices, based on seeking profit. Supply is determined by factors like the prices of resources, government interventions, technology, competition from other producers, and producer expectations about the future. Firms analyze costs of production like fixed, variable, total, and marginal costs to determine optimal production levels.
Econ Demand
The document discusses key concepts in microeconomics including demand, the law of demand, demand schedules, demand curves, determinants of demand, elasticity of demand, and how to measure elasticity. Specifically, it defines demand as the quantity of a good consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices in a given time period. It explains that the law of demand states that as price increases, quantity demanded decreases, and vice versa. Demand schedules and curves illustrate the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Factors like income, tastes, prices of related goods, and expectations can cause shifts in the demand curve. Elasticity refers to the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price changes, and can be elastic, inelastic,
Understanding Economics
This document provides an overview of key concepts in economics, including:
1. Economics is the study of how societies use scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. It includes microeconomics and macroeconomics.
2. Economic decision makers are consumers, who buy goods and services, and producers, who make goods and services. Goods are physical objects and services are actions.
3. Economic resources include natural resources, human resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurship. All resources are scarce but wants are unlimited, so societies must allocate resources efficiently.
Nandskorea
The document provides a history of the Korean Peninsula and the division between North and South Korea. It describes how the peninsula has been isolated geographically and influenced by China and other neighboring countries over time. In the mid-20th century, Korea was divided after World War II along the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south. This eventually led to the establishment of two separate states - North Korea embracing communism and South Korea becoming a democratic republic - that remain divided to this day.
Todays Issues East Asia
Japan is located in the Ring of Fire and experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to tectonic plate subduction under Japan. On average, Japan experiences 1,000 earthquakes per year. In 1923, the Great Kanto earthquake killed 140,000 people and left Tokyo in ruins. Japan has established strict building codes and conducts regular disaster drills to deal with seismic threats.
East Asia emerged as an economic powerhouse following the end of isolation and industrialization after World War II. Countries like China and Japan became known for mass producing low-cost goods. The economic growth of nations like Japan, South Korea and Taiwan led to the formation of a global economy and interdependence between nations. However,
