This document provides an overview of major events in the United States from the Ford administration to the election of Bill Clinton in 1992. It discusses the presidencies of Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush, including key policies, elections, and international events like the Iranian revolution and first Gulf War. The rise of the New Right and Reagan's economic and foreign policies are also summarized.
After Watergate, Gerald Ford assumed the presidency but was unable to curb inflation or the economic difficulties of the time. His pardon of Nixon hurt his popularity and he lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter. Carter emphasized human rights but faced challenges like inflation, fuel shortages, and the Iran hostage crisis. This hurt his reelection bid, which was won by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Reagan implemented conservative policies like tax cuts and military spending increases. He faced challenges like budget deficits and scandals but remained popular. The Cold War began to thaw under Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union. George H. W. Bush succeeded Reagan but faced a recession and the Gulf War during his term.
Post-war United States faced rising inflation, race riots, and fear of communism. The Red Scare led to crackdowns on labor unions and immigration restrictions. Prohibition failed to stop drinking and empowered organized crime. Women gained suffrage and new social freedoms as flappers. The Roaring 20s saw economic growth through mass production, consumerism, and credit. New technologies like cars, radios, and airplanes transformed society.

Kennedy launched new strategies to respond to the Cold War threats, including flexible military response, the Alliance for Progress, and Peace Corps volunteers. The Bay of Pigs invasion failed to overthrow Castro in Cuba. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. and USSR came close to nuclear war but reached agreements to establish a hotline and remove missiles from Turkey and Cuba. Kennedy and Khrushchev signed a Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and the Berlin Wall was built, symbolizing East-West divisions.
Freedom Summer in 1964 saw over 1,000 volunteers help register African American voters in Mississippi, though 3 volunteers were murdered. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed, banning literacy tests and allowing federal oversight of elections. However, discrimination and poverty still plagued urban areas, leading to riots in cities like Watts, Newark, and Detroit in 1967.

The document discusses the impact of the Great Depression in the United States. It led to widespread unemployment in cities, with many relying on bread lines for food. Rural areas were also deeply affected, with many farmers losing their land and over 1 million becoming tenant farmers between 1930-1934. The Dust Bowl destroyed millions of acres of farmland in the Great Plains, forcing many farmers nicknamed "Okies" to leave their homes in search of work. The Depression had profound social impacts as well, including falling birth rates, family breakdowns, and increased hardships for minorities.
The Progressive Era began in the early 1900s in response to the immense economic and social changes brought about by industrialization. There was a rise of muckraking journalists who exposed issues in government and big business. Progressive reforms took hold at the municipal, state, and federal levels across four main areas: protecting social welfare, promoting moral reform, reforming the economy, and making businesses more efficient. Theodore Roosevelt championed these reforms as president from 1901-1909, pushing for regulation of big business and conservation. The split of the Republican Party over further reforms led to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who advanced some progressive policies.
Ho Chi Minh led Vietnam to declare independence from France in 1945. The French were eventually defeated in 1954, but the US became involved to contain the spread of communism according to the Domino Theory. The Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel. Elections were planned to reunify the country in 1956 but did not occur due to South Vietnam blocking them for fear that Ho Chi Minh would win. The US supported the anti-communist South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem and began training the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh built up North Vietnam's army and Viet Cong guerrilla fighters in the South. In 1964, alleged attacks by North Vietnam

The document summarizes early efforts for equality in the 1940s-1950s. It discusses how African Americans challenged segregation through legal and protest efforts such as the Montgomery bus boycott. The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional, though it faced resistance from Southern states. The Montgomery bus boycott launched Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement by proving that nonviolent protests could successfully demand change. However, segregation and discrimination remained widespread even after these early victories.

Critics rejected the conformity of 1950s culture, expressed by writers like Kerouac and Ginsberg. Many Americans lived in poverty hidden from the suburbs, including in inner cities and rural areas. Minority groups faced discrimination in housing and jobs. Government programs aimed to address urban and rural poverty, but sometimes made the problems worse by displacing communities and concentrating poverty.
The document summarizes the Watergate scandal that led to Richard Nixon's resignation. It describes how Nixon was reelected in 1972 using a "southern strategy" but his administration was plagued by economic issues like stagflation. In 1972, Nixon's reelection campaign orchestrated a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters, known as the Watergate scandal. Investigations by journalists and a Supreme Court ruling forcing Nixon to release secret tapes revealed his involvement, leading to impeachment and Nixon becoming the only US President to resign from office in 1974.
The document provides background on the Watergate scandal that ultimately led to Richard Nixon's resignation as President. It discusses Nixon's narrow election win in 1968, the Pentagon Papers leak, creation of the White House Plumbers unit, the Watergate break-in, the investigation by Woodward and Bernstein, and key events like Senate hearings, the Saturday Night Massacre, and Nixon releasing tapes that confirmed his involvement in the cover up.
Germany surrendered in 1945 and was divided and occupied by the Allies. The Potsdam Conference established this division and began de-Nazification efforts. Europe was largely bankrupt after the war while the US and USSR emerged as new superpowers. The Soviets wanted to rebuild the German economy to their benefit while the Americans prioritized self-determination, leading to the origins of the Cold War between them. Japan also surrendered in 1945 after atomic bombs were dropped and was remade under US occupation with a new constitution and demilitarization. These postwar changes established the foundations for the ensuing global Cold War conflict between capitalist and communist ideologies.

The wartime alliance between the United States and Soviet Union broke down as their differing goals for postwar Europe emerged. The Soviets expanded their control over Eastern Europe, establishing satellite states separated from the West by an "Iron Curtain." In response, the US pursued a policy of containment through the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, and formation of NATO military alliance. When Stalin blockaded West Berlin, the US organized the Berlin Airlift to supply the city, demonstrating US commitment to containing Soviet expansion.

This document provides summaries of important works from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. In the 18th century, works discussed Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and how it established principles of capitalism and laissez-faire economics. Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence advocated for American independence. In the 19th century, works brought attention to social issues like slavery with Uncle Tom's Cabin and civil disobedience. Looking Backward envisioned a utopian future. The 20th century saw works exposing corruption with The Jungle and poverty with The Other America, as well as environmental concerns in Silent Spring and investigations into political scandals.
Theodore Roosevelt embraced the three Cs - control of corporations, consumer protection, and conservation - as part of his "Square Deal" platform. Dwight Eisenhower increased Social Security and the minimum wage as part of his "Modern Republicanism" agenda. Franklin Roosevelt introduced relief, recovery, and reform as part of his "New Deal" in response to the Great Depression.
The Cold War began between the United States and Soviet Union after World War 2. Tensions arose due to differing ideologies around democracy, capitalism, and communism. The US pursued a containment policy to stop the spread of communism through measures like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, NATO alliance, and military buildup. The outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 further escalated Cold War tensions and fears of communism grew domestically in the US through investigations led by McCarthyism.
Crisis Communication 2.0: Social Media in Emergency Preparedness & Responseacobb027
This document discusses the use of social media in emergency preparedness and response. It provides an overview of prominent social media tools and case studies of how different organizations have used social media during disasters. The benefits of social media include rapid information dissemination, accessibility when other systems are down, and addressing special audiences. However, social media can also spread misinformation. The document concludes by recommending that organizations start using social media by creating personal accounts to learn how the tools work before creating official presence.
The Puritan values of religion, education, and community strongly influenced the development of New England colonies from 1630-1600s. Their goal was to create a utopian society centered around Puritan ideals, with the church and commonwealth holding political power. This led to an economy based on communal labor rather than materialism, with taxes supporting the church. Those who challenged Puritan beliefs faced isolation or punishment under Puritan-dominated laws and political system.
The document summarizes key events during the Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover administrations from 1921-1929. It discusses the scandals during Harding's presidency and his weak leadership. It then covers Coolidge's frugal policies as president and support for business. Finally, it outlines Hoover's policies and the beginning of the Great Depression despite his promises to end poverty with high stock prices and a new tariff act that exacerbated the economic crisis.
The document discusses the settlement of New England by Puritans and Separatists in the early 1600s.

The document outlines the growth and spread of the New England colonies in the 1600s and early conflicts with Native Americans.
The 1912 US presidential election saw Republican incumbent William Taft challenged by former president Theodore Roosevelt who formed the Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party after losing the Republican nomination to Taft. The Socialist Party candidate was Eugene Debs. Woodrow Wilson ran as the Democratic candidate advocating progressive policies like antitrust enforcement and tariff reform. The split in the Republican party between Taft and Roosevelt allowed Wilson to win the election, ushering in a new period of progressive reform and realigning the party system for the rest of the century.
From 1775 to 1830, many African Americans gained freedom from slavery in the North due to the work of abolitionist and moral reform groups, yet slavery expanded in the South to meet the growing demand for cotton. Enslaved and free African Americans responded to these challenges in different ways. Enslaved African Americans rebelled or conspired to rebel, while free African Americans advocated for their rights and created organizations to aid their communities.
The document summarizes several international agreements and events in the 1920s relating to disarmament, reparations, and relations between the US and other countries:
1) The Washington Naval Conference of 1921-1922 saw the US, Japan, and UK agree to limit naval armaments to prevent an expensive arms race.
2) The Dawes Plan of 1924 restructured German reparations payments to help stabilize its economy.
3) The Young Plan of 1928 further reduced German reparation amounts payable over 58 years.
4) Tensions grew between the US and Mexico in the 1920s over land and resource policies enacted under Mexican President Calles.
The 1960s was a turbulent decade marked by social change and upheaval. John F. Kennedy campaigned on a platform of reform but was assassinated in 1963. Lyndon Johnson continued Kennedy's agenda through programs like the Great Society, but the escalating Vietnam War and urban riots undermined his presidency. The civil rights movement made progress through nonviolent protest and new laws, but was met with resistance and violence. Growing anti-war sentiment and unrest in 1968 led to assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy and riots at the Democratic National Convention, contributing to Richard Nixon's election on a message of restoring order.
The document summarizes key events and developments in the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1960s. It discusses the expansion of protests and key figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and events like the March on Washington. It also covers the passage of major civil rights legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. However, by the late 1960s, the movement was becoming more divided as urban violence increased and the philosophy of Black Power emerged, advocating a more independent approach than the traditional cooperation with whites.
The document provides an overview of key events and developments in the United States during the 1970s. It summarizes the Watergate scandal that led to Nixon's resignation, and the presidencies of Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter during this turbulent time period. It also analyzes how American society changed in the 1970s through events like the energy crisis, rise of religious fundamentalism, and push for affirmative action programs.
The document summarizes key events and policies during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations from the 1960s. It discusses Kennedy's New Frontier agenda which aimed to address social issues and confront the Soviet Union, but was cut short by his 1963 assassination. It then outlines Lyndon Johnson's Great Society programs that aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice through major civil rights laws and social welfare programs. However, Johnson also greatly escalated US involvement in the Vietnam War during this period of significant social change and cultural upheaval in America.
Lyndon Johnson had extensive political experience that prepared him well to become president after John F. Kennedy's assassination. As president, Johnson pursued Kennedy's agenda while also launching his own vision of the Great Society, which aimed to use government programs to eliminate poverty and racial injustice. Johnson was able to pass many landmark laws due to his mastery of politics and relationships in Congress, but growing opposition to the Vietnam War and a shift in Congress slowed his agenda by 1966.
The 1960 presidential election saw John F. Kennedy defeat Richard Nixon in a close race. Kennedy benefited from his performance in televised debates, as well as calling Coretta Scott King when her husband Martin Luther King Jr. was jailed. Kennedy's narrow popular vote victory resulted in him being the first Catholic president. As president, Kennedy proposed expanding civil rights and launching a "New Frontier" domestic agenda, though much of it failed to pass Congress. He also took initial steps towards a "War on Poverty".
President Johnson used his political experience and skills to push through Kennedy's agenda and expand it with his own Great Society programs. Johnson passed major civil rights legislation, launched the War on Poverty through programs like Medicaid and Job Corps, and created new education programs. However, Johnson's domestic reforms declined as attention shifted to the escalating Vietnam War, which consumed increasing resources and divided the nation.
This document provides an overview of John F. Kennedy's presidency from 1960-1963, known as the "Camelot Era". It discusses Kennedy challenging Nixon for the presidency in 1960 and his narrow victory. His agenda as president included establishing the Peace Corps, pursuing the space program, advocating for flexible response in foreign policy, getting involved in Vietnam, and pushing for civil rights legislation. However, his presidency was cut short when he was assassinated in 1963, leaving questions about possible conspiracies unanswered.
The document provides details about John F. Kennedy's presidency and his handling of civil rights issues and international relations. It discusses Kennedy's support for the civil rights movement through executive orders and legislation. It also covers events like the Watts riots and growth of the Black Power movement.

The summary concludes by noting the polarization over the Vietnam War and Nixon's election in 1968.
Lyndon B. Johnson launched his Great Society program following John F. Kennedy's assassination to combat poverty and inequality through expansive social welfare programs. This included Medicare and Medicaid to provide healthcare to the elderly and poor, programs to provide jobs, housing, education and fight poverty in cities, and the Immigration Act of 1965. While greatly reducing poverty initially, the costs of these programs grew rapidly and led many to view them as ineffective by the 1980s, though the Great Society did make major strides in reducing hunger and poverty for millions of Americans.
This document provides background information on John F. Kennedy's campaign for president and early presidency. It discusses how his charismatic personality and performance in televised debates against Richard Nixon helped him win the 1960 election. As president, Kennedy initiated ambitious domestic programs and worked to advance civil rights, but also faced rising Cold War tensions abroad before his assassination in 1963.
Slide 5 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016WestCal Academy
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.
Kennedy came into office promising a "New Frontier" and change after a complacent 1950s. His youth and vigor inspired Americans. Key programs included the Peace Corps, pushing to put a man on the moon, and proposals to aid education and the elderly. However, Kennedy faced challenges like a weak economy and tensions with the Soviet Union over Berlin and Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis in particular brought the world close to nuclear war. Kennedy also had to navigate the growing Civil Rights movement and calls for desegregation amid violence. His assassination in 1963 left America in mourning and Vice President Johnson took over promising to carry on Kennedy's legacy through programs like the Great Society, aimed at reducing poverty.
The document summarizes key social, political, and economic events in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s.

The document also discusses the impact of the Warren Supreme Court during Kennedy's term.
Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980 and championed smaller government and free market capitalism. He was re-elected in a landslide in 1984. George H.W. Bush succeeded Reagan as president in 1988. Bush oversaw the end of the Cold War and led a multinational coalition to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War. However, Bush lost re-election in 1992 as the economy struggled with high unemployment and a large budget deficit.
This document summarizes key events and movements in the 1960s that challenged traditional authority in the US, including:
1) The rise of the New Left and counterculture youth movements protesting the Vietnam War and demanding civil rights and free speech.
2) Minority groups like Native Americans, Latinos, and gays mobilizing for equal rights and self-determination through organizations like the American Indian Movement and United Farm Workers.

The document discusses the history of relations between indigenous peoples and European settlers in North America, as well as policies toward indigenous groups in both the United States and Canada during their periods of western expansion. It describes how the US adopted a reservation system in 1867 that moved indigenous groups from ancestral lands, while Canada sent mounted police to assert control over lands without significant conflict. It also discusses education and religious assimilation policies toward indigenous peoples in both countries in the late 19th century, as well as religious revitalization movements that emerged in response.
The document appears to be a worksheet or lesson containing multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions about U.S. states and territories. It includes questions about the location of historical events, treaties, colonies, and geographic features within different states across various time periods in American history.

The workbook lesson analyzes the historical context and impact of these influential quotes.
After Watergate, Gerald Ford assumed the presidency but was unable to curb inflation or the economic difficulties of the time. His pardon of Nixon hurt his popularity and he lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter. Carter emphasized human rights but faced challenges like inflation, fuel shortages, and the Iran hostage crisis. This hurt his reelection bid, which was won by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Reagan implemented conservative policies like tax cuts and military spending increases. He faced challenges like budget deficits and scandals but remained popular. The Cold War began to thaw under Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union. George H. W. Bush succeeded Reagan but faced a recession and the Gulf War during his term.
The document summarizes key economic, social, and technological developments in the United States during the post-World War 2 period of the 1950s and early 1960s.

1. Gilded Age politics was dominated by the two-party system, with Democrats and Republicans appealing to distinct voting blocs.
2. The federal government practiced a laissez-faire approach with minimal intervention in the economy or social issues.
3. Reformers emerged who sought to reduce political corruption and patronage, leading to some civil service reforms under President Arthur in response to the Mugwump movement. However, the major parties remained the key political forces.
The document discusses many aspects of culture that flourished in the United States during the 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties. It describes the rise of African American culture through the Harlem Renaissance and jazz, which became a symbol of rejecting traditional values. Literature from this era was highly innovative and gave insights into 1920s lifestyles through works by authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. New technologies like radio, movies, and magazines helped spread fads and ideas across the nation during this period of social and cultural change.
Henry Ford's introduction of the Model T and assembly line production methods in the early 1920s drove mass production and consumerism in the US. This led to economic growth and rising wages but also created disparities, as farmers struggled with overproduction and falling prices while unemployment remained high. New technologies continued to disrupt jobs even as industries like autos and related sectors boomed through standardized and efficient manufacturing processes. However, not all Americans shared in the prosperity of consumer goods and rising stock prices, as racial minorities and farmers faced difficult conditions through much of the decade.
The document summarizes several key events in the 1920s including the Washington Naval Conference of 1921-1922 which sought to limit naval armaments, the Dawes Plan of 1924 which provided loans to help Germany pay reparations, the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 which renounced war as an instrument of national policy, and economic expansion in Latin America under the Good Neighbor Policy.

This document provides background information on Henry Ford and the economic environment of the 1920s in the United States. It describes Ford's early life and experiments with engines that led to the founding of the Ford Motor Company. It then discusses the agricultural problem of overproduction during this period and the resulting labor unrest. New farming technologies increased yields but demand did not rise accordingly, putting many farmers into debt. The document also outlines the growth of mass production techniques using assembly lines in factories and how this improved productivity but also led to issues of overproduction and unemployment.
- The Red Scare of 1919-1920 swept across America as fears grew of communism spreading from Russia. Attorney General Palmer ordered raids to arrest suspected radicals.
- Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Italian immigrants and anarchists, were convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence and executed, amid accusations of anti-immigrant bias.
- The 1920s saw debates between traditional moral values emphasizing religion and social order versus modernist views accepting new social norms like evolution, women's changing roles, and consumerism. Prohibition criminalized alcohol but led to speakeasies, while the Scopes Trial banned teaching evolution in schools.
The document summarizes key aspects of 1920s American culture, including the Harlem Renaissance which brought jazz music to the mainstream and produced influential African American authors.

In later years, Americans came to believe
that the Warren Commission report had

behind the murders.

JFK , Johnson was able win support for many
New Frontier proposals. Was also able to

7. In the 1960s, the federal government took steps to create important
new social welfare programs:
Medicare: a program to provide federal aid to the elderly for medical
expenses
- it avoided the stigma of “welfare” by making Medicare benefits
available to all elderly Americans, regardless of need. The program
also defused the opposition of the medical community by allowing
doctors serving Medicare patients to practice privately and to
charge their normal fees.
The Centerpiece of this “war on poverty” was the Office of
Economic Opportunity (OEO)- created an array of new educational,
employment, housing, and health-care programs and it was
controversial because of its commitment to the idea of “Community
Action”
8. Community Action
Program
Community action was an effort to involve members of poor communities
themselves in the planning and administration of the programs designed to
help them.
It also provided many jobs for many poor people and gave them valuable
experience in administrative and political work.
Despite its achievements, the Community Action approach proved
impossible to sustain because of administrative failure and apparent
excesses of few agencies damaged the popular image of the program.
Spent nearly $3 billion in its first 2 years and it helped reduce poverty but
didn’t eliminate it because of the weakness of the programs and the funding
for the programs as well.
9. Cities & Schools
There were Federal efforts to promote the revitalization of decaying cities and to
strengthen the nation’s schools.
- The Housing Act of 1961- offered $4.9 billion in federal grants to cities for the
preservation of open spaces, the development of mass-transit systems, and the
subsidization of middle income housing.
In 1966 Johnson established a new cabinet agency, the Department of Housing and
Urban Development and inaugurated the Model Cities program, which offered
subsidies for urban redevelopment pilot programs.
-Americans feared that aid to education was the first step toward federal control of
the schools, and Catholics insisted that federal assistance must extend to parochial
as well as public schools.
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965- the bill extended aid to both
private and parochial schools and based the aid on the economic conditions of the
students, not on the needs of the schools themselves.
10. The Johnson administration supported the Immigration Act of 1965snd it
maintained a strict limit on the number of newcomers admitted to the
country each year (170,000), but it eliminated the “national origins” system
established in the 1920s, which gave preference to immigrants from
northern Europe over those from other parts of the world.
Continued to restrict immigration from some parts of Latin America, but it
allowed people from Europe, Asia, and Africa enter the United States.
By the early 1970s, the character of American immigration had changed,
with new national groups- particularly large groups of Asians- entering the
United States and changing the character of the American population.
11. Legacies of the Great
Society
The Great Society reforms meant a significant increase in federal spending.
In 1964, Johnson managed to win passage of the $11.5 billion tax cut that Kennedy had first
proposed in 1962. The cut increased the federal deficit, but substantial economic growth over the
next several years made up for the revenue originally lost.
The high cost of the Great Society programs , the failures of many of them, and the inability of
the government to find the revenues to pay for them contributed to allowing disillusionment in
later years with the idea that federal efforts to solve social problems.
- Many Americans believed that indeed government programs to solve social problems could not
work.
Despite many failures it did have some significant achievements. It reduced hunger in America
and it made medical care available to millions of elderly and poor people who would otherwise
have had great difficult affording it.
It also contributed to the greatest reduction in poverty in American history.
12. The Battle for Racial
Equality
JFK was sympathetic to the cause of racial justice, but was not very committed to it. He had
helped release Martin Luther King Jr. from a Georgia prison, but feared alienating southern
Democratic voters and congressmen.
He set out to contain the racial problem by expanding enforcement of existing laws and
supporting litigation to overturn existing segregation statutes, hoping to make modest progress
without creating politically damaging divisions.
Protests began in Greensboro, North Carolina- staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch
counter and then spread across the South. Those who participated formed the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which worked to keep the spirit of resistance.
Groups of students, working with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) began “freedom rides.”
They met savage violence at the hands of enraged whites that the finally dispatched federal
marshals to keep the peace.
Other protest groups formed such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)
which created citizen-education and other programs to mobilize black workers, farmers,
housewives, and others to challenge segregation, disfranchisement, and discrimination.
13. Birmingham, Alabama
In April 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. helped launch a series of nonviolent
demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama.
Eugene “Bull” Connor supervised a brutal effort to break up the peaceful
marches , arresting hundreds of demonstrators and using attack dogs, tear
gas, electric cattle prods, and fire hoses as much of the nation watched
televised reports in horror.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0lD37bq8YI
14. To generate support for legislation, and to dramatize the power of the
growing movement, more than 200,000 demonstrators marched down
the mall in Washington D.C., IN August 1963 and gathered before the
Lincoln Memorial for the greatest civil rights demonstration in the
nation's history.
Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a Dream"
The assassination of President Kennedy 3 months later gave new
impulses to the battle for civil rights legislation.
Johnson was able to muster up two-thirds majority necessary to close
the debate and pass the most comprehensive civil rights bill in the
nation's history.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V57lotnKGF8
15. The Civil Rights movement shifted its focus to voting rights. During the
summer of 1964, thousands of civil rights workers, black and white,
northern and southern, spread out through the South to work on behalf of
black voter registration and participation. Campaign was known as
"freedom summer"
Freedom summer also produced the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party
(MFDP) and challenged the regular party's right to its seats at the
Democratic National Convention that summer.
MLK organized a major demonstration in Selma, Alabama, to press the
demand for the right of blacks to register to vote. Selma sheriff Jim Clark
led local police in a brutal attack on the demonstrators
Two Northern whites participating in the march were murdered-one, a minister,
was beaten to death in the streets of the town; the other, a Detroit housewife,
was shot as she drove along a highway at night with a black passenger in her
car.
The national outrage helped Lyndon Johnson to propose and win passage
of the Civil Rights Act of 1965, better known as the Voting Rights Act,
provided federal protection to blacks attempting to exercise their right to
vote.
16. Although the economic condition of much of American society was
improving, in the poor urban communities in which black population
was concentrated, things were getting significantly worse.
By the mid-1960s the issue of race was moving out of the south and
into the rest of the nation
The battle against school desegregation had moved beyond the initial
assault on de jure segregation (segregation by law) to an attack on de
facto segregation (segregation in practice, as through residential
patterns.)
Lyndon Johnson gave his tentative support to the concept of
"affirmative action" in 1965 and over the next decade, affirmative
action guidelines gradually extended to all institutions doing
business with or receiving funds from the federal government.
this movement's new direction led to Organizers of the Chicago
campaigned hoped to direct national attention to housing and
employment discrimination in northern industrial cities in much the same
way similar campaigns had exposed legal racism in the South. Failed to
arouse national conscience in the way the events in the South had
17. Urban Poverty came to national attention when the Watts section of
Los Angeles began to riot.
A white police officer struck a protesting black bystander with his club
which triggered a storm of anger and a week of violence.
10,000 people participated in the violence-attacking white motorist,
burning buildings, looting stores, and sniping at policemen. 34 people
died during the Watts uprising, which was eventually quelled by the
National Guard.
Televised reports of the violence alarmed million and gave a
growing sense of doubt among many of the whites who
embraced the cause of racial justice only a few years before.
Lyndon Johnson created the Commission on Civil Disorders- the
commission issued a celebrated report in the spring of 1968
recommending massive spending to eliminate the abysmal
conditions of the ghettos. Many white Americans thought there was
a need more for stern measures to stop violence and lawlessness.
18. Philosophy of "black power" suggested a move away from interracial
cooperation and toward increased awareness of racial distinctiveness. It
also instilled racial pride in African- Americans, who lived in a society whose
dominant culture saw blacks inferior to whites.
it encouraged the growth of black studies in schools and universities
helped stimulate important black literary and artistic movements and a new
interest among many African Americans in their African roots
some blacks began to adopt African styles of dress, even to change their names.
Also black power created a schism within the civil rights movement
Groups such as the NAACP, the Urban League, and King's Southern Christian
Leadership Conference- now faced competition wit radical groups
these groups were calling for radical change and occasionally violent action
against racism of white society and were openly rejecting the approaches of
older, more established black leaders.
Whites were alarmed by organizations that existed outside the mainstream
civil rights movement.
Black Panther Party- from Oakland, California promised to defend black rights
with violence and wore weapons openly and proudly.
19. Nation of Islam (founded by Elijah Poole)- taught blacks to take
responsibility for their own, to live by strict codes of behavior, and to
reject any dependence on whites.
The most celebrated of the black Muslims was Malcolm Little, a former
drug addict and pimp who had spent time in prison and had rebuilt his
life after joining the movement. (adopted the name Malcolm X)
Malcolm X was influential to younger blacks, as a result of his
intelligence, his oratorical skills, and his harsh, uncompromising
opposition to all forms of racism and oppression.
did not advocate violence, but insisted that black people had the right to
defend themselves, violently if necessary, from those who assaulted
them.
Malcolm died in 1965 when black gunmen, presumably under orders
from rivals within the Nation of Islam, assassinated him in New York.
Had been working on a book before his death (the Autobiography of
Malcolm X) attracted wide attention after his publication in 1965 and
spread his reputation broadly through the nation.
20. Kennedy administration was convinced that the United States needed
to be able to counter communist aggression in more flexible ways than
the atomic-weapons-oriented defense strategy
Kennedy also favored expanding American influence through peaceful
means
repaired the detoriating relationship with Latin America, he propose
an "Alliance for Progress."-made a series of projects for peaceful
development and stabilization of the nations region
also inaugurated the Agency for International Development (AID) to
coordinate foreign aid.
Also established the Peace Corps, which sent young American
volunteers abroad to work in developing areas
21. The first policy ventures of the Kennedy administration was a
disastrous assault on the Castro government in Cuba.
Eisenhower administration began the project and by the time
Kennedy took office the CIA had been working for months to train a
small army of anti-Castro Cuban exiles in Central America.
On April 17, 1961- 2,000 of the armed exiles landed at the Bay of
Pigs in Cuba. They expected American air support and then a
spontaneous uprising by Cuban people on their behalf (received
neither).Kennedy withdrew the air support , fearful of involving the
United States to directly in the invasion.
Well-armed Castro force easily captured the invaders, and within
two days the entire mission had collapsed.
22. Kennedy traveled to Vienna in June 1961 for his first meeting
with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev.
Khrushchev was particularly unhappy about the mass
exodus of residents of East Germany to the West through
the easily traversed Berlin.
On August 13, 1961, the East German Government,
complying with direction from Moscow, began
constructing a wall between East and West Berlin. The
Berlin Wall served as the most potent physical symbol of
the conflict between the communist and non-communist
world.
23. On October 14, aerial reconnaissance photos produced clear evidence that the
Soviets were constructing sites in Cuba for offensive nuclear weapons.
placing missiles in Cuba probably seemed a reasonable way to counter the
presence of American missiles in Turkey. To Americans the missile sites
represented an act of aggression by the Soviets toward the United States.
On October 22, he ordered a naval and air blockade around Cuba. On October
26, Kennedy received a message from Khrushchev implying that the Soviet
Union would remove the missile bases in exchange for an American pledge not to
invade Cuba.
24. The Political Challenge
In the summer of 1967, dissident Democrats tried to mobilize
support behind antiwar candidate who would challenge Lyndon
Johnson in the 1968 primaries.
Asked Robert Kennedy but he declined. Turned to Senator Eugene
McCarthy Minnesota.
Robert Kennedy
He finally entered the campaign, embittering many McCarthy
supporters, but bringing his own substantial strength among blacks,
the poor, and workers to the antiwar cause.
Robert Kennedy quickly established himself as the champion of the
Democratic primaries, winning one election after another. But Vice
President Hubert Humphrey, entered the contest and began to
attract the support of party leaders and of the many delegations that
were selected by state party organizations.
25. Kennedy continued his campaign for the presidential nomination. Late on
the night of June 6, he appeared in the ballroom of a Los Angeles hotel to
acknowledge his victory in that day's California primary.
As he left the ballroom, Sirhan Sirhan, a young Palestinian apparently
enraged by pro-Israeli remarks Kennedy had recently made, emerged from
a crowd and shot him dead.
Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination
On April 4, Martin Luther King Jr., who had traveled to Memphis,
Tennessee, to lend his support to striking black sanitation workers in the
city, was shot and killed while standing on the balcony of his motel
The assassin was James Earl Ray and he had been hired by others to do
the killing, but he himself never revealed the identity of his employers and
doubts about his role in the assassination continued after his death in
prison, in 1998.
26. The turbulent events of 1968 persuaded many observers that American
Society was in the throes of Revolutionary change.
The most visible sign of the conservative backlash was the surprising
success of the campaign of the segregationist Alabama governor George
Wallace for presidency.
He became a third-party candidate for president, basing his campaign on a host
of conservative grievances, not all of them connected to race
A more effective effort to mobilize the "silent majority" in favor of order and
stability was under way within the Republican Party.
Richard Nixon reemerged as the preeminent spokesman for what he called
"Middle America"
Nixon recognized that many Americans were tired of hearing about their
obligations to the poor, the sacrifices necessary to achieve racial justice, judicial
reforms that seemed designed to help criminals.
By offering a vision of stability, law and order, government retrenchment, and
"peace with honor" in Vietnam, he captured the Republican presidential
nomination.
27. Nixon wins the
election of
1968, but the
election made
clear that a
majority of the
American
electorate was
more interested
in restoring
stability than in
promoting
social change.
