Civil Rights Leaders & Strategies
The document discusses several key civil rights organizations and leaders that were important in the American civil rights movement. The NAACP focused on legal challenges and appealed to middle and upper class African Americans. The SCLC, led by Martin Luther King Jr., advocated for nonviolent protests. The SNCC was a student-run organization that shifted away from church leadership and demanded more immediate change. These groups and their varying approaches, along with events like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Brown v. Board of Education ruling, were important in laying the groundwork for the broader civil rights movement.

This document provides an overview of major events and policies related to civil rights and liberalism during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations from 1960-1968. It discusses the 1960 presidential election, Kennedy's domestic agenda, his assassination in 1963. It then covers LBJ's legislative accomplishments as president, the 1964 election, and Great Society programs to fight poverty. The document also outlines the expanding civil rights movement, key civil rights legislation, and the rise of more radical groups like the Black Panthers. It concludes with discussions of foreign policy shifts and the assassinations of MLK and RFK in 1968.
Black power
The Black Power Movement grew out of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, sparked by Stokely Carmichael's popularization of the term in 1966. While sharing similar goals of racial equality, the Black Power Movement advocated a more militant approach and focused on instilling racial pride and self-determination among Black Americans. The movement saw the establishment of Black studies programs, increased interest in African heritage, and the growth of the Black Arts movement, though it began to decline by the late 1970s.
Montgomery Bus Boycott
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger in 1955. In response, the NAACP and Black churches organized a 381-day boycott of the city's bus system. Led by Martin Luther King Jr., the nonviolent protests succeeded in legally desegregating public transit. The boycott demonstrated the power of grassroots activism and inspired the wider Civil Rights Movement.
Civil rights movement
The Civil Rights Movement began nearly 100 years after the Civil War to combat discrimination against African Americans. In the 1950s and 1960s, civil rights organizations and leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for desegregation and equal rights through nonviolent protests, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This led to important victories like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned segregation in public places. However, discrimination continued in other areas like education, employment, and criminal justice.

Legal System Challenge
The legal challenges to segregation in education, notably Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, had significant impact but also faced resistance. The Supreme Court ruling declared segregation unconstitutional and increased federal support for integration. However, it did not mandate immediate change and many schools, especially in the South, ignored or resisted it. This sparked further legal battles and demonstrations over civil rights but also strengthened opposition to desegregation.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965
The document discusses the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to overcome obstacles that prevented equal voting rights, especially for racial minorities. It includes quotes from Lyndon B. Johnson about writing equal rights into law, Martin Luther King Jr. calling voting the foundation for political action, Harvey Milk saying equality cannot be erased from America's core, and Macklemore advocating voting for love, equality, change and humanity.

The Civil Rights & Voting Act
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were hugely important pieces of civil rights legislation that helped end segregation and discrimination against African Americans. President Kennedy began pushing for civil rights reform after protests in Birmingham, but he was assassinated before seeing the Civil Rights Act passed. His successor Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, which banned discrimination in public places and employment. However, Southern states resisted its implementation. This led to a march from Selma to Montgomery to protest barriers to black voting rights. Violence against the marchers increased pressure on Johnson to sign the Voting Rights Act in 1965, which prohibited discriminatory voting practices that had prevented blacks from registering to vote.

Images of police brutality against civil rights protesters in Birmingham in 1963 circulated globally and increased pressure on the federal government to take action to address racism in the United States and protect civil rights. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed after years of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience. However, racism and segregation persisted in northern cities and limitations remained regarding economic inequality facing many African Americans.

Though they faced violent opposition, Civil Rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. remained committed to nonviolence, which helped gain support and effect policy changes like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, racial inequalities and tensions remained even after legal segregation was overturned.

His national security advisor Henry Kissinger played a key role in secret diplomatic outreach to China and the Soviet Union. This led to Nixon's historic 1972 visit to China, establishing diplomatic relations and further cooperation. Nixon also reached agreements with the Soviet Union, including the SALT I treaty that imposed the first limits on nuclear weapons.
Watergate

His successor Gerald Ford later pardoned Nixon for any federal crimes he may have committed.
Impact of the Cold War
The Cold War had major impacts on national security and domestic policies in the US. The National Security Act of 1947 created new institutions like the Department of Defense and CIA to centralize defense efforts. NSC-68 called for expanding the military budget to actively counter communism globally. McCarthyism spread fear of communist influence domestically. Military spending increased dramatically as a percentage of GDP due to the arms race with the Soviet Union. Eisenhower later warned of the growing influence of the "military-industrial complex" on politics and society.
Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th parallel dividing line. The United Nations backed the US-led defense of South Korea in an effort to contain communism. Fighting escalated as Chinese troops joined the North Koreans, pushing UN forces back below the 38th parallel. The war settled into a stalemate along the border until an armistice was signed in 1953, leaving Korea still divided at the 38th parallel. The war had significant effects including the rise of the US military-industrial complex and the desegregation of American military units.
1950s Culture
The 1950s saw a period of prosperity and social conformity in the United States. Several key developments included the post-World War II baby boom, the rise of automobile-centered suburban living, and the emergence of consumerism and new household appliances. Television became hugely popular and shaped popular culture, while new youth cultures like rock n' roll music and teen rebellion also emerged. Strict gender roles were emphasized, and families often conformed to stereotypical television portrayals of suburban life. Religious observance increased and the nuclear family became the societal ideal.
Mobilization--WWII
FDR took steps in the early 1940s to prepare the US for potential involvement in World War II by asking businesses to support Britain's defense efforts and warning of threats posed by Axis nations like Germany. He knew the US would need to massively scale up production of war materials if it did enter the war. FDR mobilized the military and passed laws for conscription. When the US did enter the war in 1941, the government took control of the economy and directed industries to focus on weapons production. Massive federal spending and taxation financed the war effort while rationing and shortages affected daily life on the home front.
Road to War
The document summarizes the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s and the events leading up to America's entry into World War 2. It describes how Germany, Italy, and Japan increasingly violated international laws and invaded other nations. While the League of Nations condemned these actions, they were unable to stop them. Britain and France initially pursued a policy of appeasement toward Germany. As Germany continued expanding territorially through Europe, President Roosevelt took steps to increase US defense and aid to Britain through measures like Lend-Lease, but most Americans still favored isolationism. The war began in Europe in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. By 1940, Germany had conquered much of the continent while Britain stood alone, increasing pressure

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
