The Movement Takes a New Turn

kbeacom

The civil rights movement split in the mid-1960s due to the rise of black nationalism and calls for black power led by Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael which advocated for racial separation and black self-sufficiency rather than integration. This split the movement from groups like the NAACP and SCLC that pursued non-violent protest and integration. The tragic assassinations of MLK Jr. and RFK in 1968 further eroded hope in non-violent change and sparked riots across the country. However, the civil rights movement achieved its goal of ending legal segregation and saw more African Americans able to vote and get elected to political office, demonstrating its lasting legacy of progress toward racial equality.

The Significance of Martin Luther King

RCB78

Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968 had major consequences for the civil rights movement in the United States. As the most prominent leader and spokesperson, his death left the movement without its figurehead and main organizer at a pivotal time. It also sparked riots across many US cities and damaged the image of the civil rights movement. The momentum of the movement declined as support for it waned in the aftermath. The failure of Resurrection City, set up to continue King's Poor People's Campaign, further weakened the movement and its ability to stage large demonstrations. By the late 1960s, the civil rights movement had lost much of its prominence as the focus shifted to opposing the Vietnam War.

Prelude to civil rights in mississippi

Allison Barnette

The document summarizes the social and political climate in Mississippi from the Great Depression through the 1950s that set the stage for the civil rights movement. It discusses how the Depression devastated the state's economy and disproportionately impacted African Americans. World War II and related industries provided economic opportunities. President Truman supported civil rights, alienating Southern Democrats who formed the Dixiecrats. The 1954 Brown v. Board decision found segregated schools unconstitutional, sparking massive resistance from whites in Mississippi. The brutal 1955 murder of Emmett Till drew national attention to racial violence in the state. Lynchings were also common. African American leaders emerged to advocate for civil rights amid this deeply entrenched racism.

Black History Month is celebrated in February to recognize African American achievements throughout history. It commemorates pivotal events in the civil rights movement such as the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape to freedom, and key figures like Frederick Douglass who fought for abolition as a leader and orator. The civil rights movement of the 1950s-60s aimed to end racial segregation and discrimination through nonviolent protests led by Martin Luther King Jr., including Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat which sparked the Montgomery bus boycott. Major victories were the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, though discrimination continues to be addressed today.

The 1960s was a turbulent decade in America marked by civil rights struggles, opposition to the Vietnam War, and the rise of a counterculture movement. Literature, music, and art reflected and helped shaped this period of social and political change. Pop artists like Andy Warhol appropriated images of consumer culture to challenge conventions of fine art. Events like the Kent State massacre and the Civil Rights movement further fueled anti-war and anti-establishment sentiments that permeated 1960s culture.

Examine the patterns of African American migration from the South to.docx

AlleneMcclendon878

Examine the patterns of African American migration from the South to North and West during the twentieth century (CO#1) Discuss the impact of the Great Migration on the Civil Rights movement (CO#1, CO#2, CO#5) In the years between 1910 and 1970, approximately six million African Americans left the US South for the North and West. Many moved from rural areas to settle in large cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles seeking new opportunities as well as an escape from the oppression of Jim Crow. Some historians break this up into two distinct migrations, the first starting in 1910 and ending when the Great Depression slowed migration, and the second between 1940 and 1970 as wartime work during World War II once again provided new opportunities. In addition to reading the chapters in Takaki, view the following map of the migration patterns in this era from the US Census and Jacob Lawrence’s paintings The Migration Series. In a post of at least 250 words consider the following: How did the migration of African Americans to the North and West in the twentieth century compare and contrast to the “push” and “pull” patterns of immigrant groups in the same era? How did the changing demographic patterns of African Americans influence the growth and progress of the Civil Rights movement after the war? .

TERMS & NAMES For each of the following, write a sentence explaining its significance. MAIN IDEA 2. TAKING NOTES Re-create the tree diagram below on your paper. Then fill it in with examples of student organizations, issues, and demonstrations of the New Left. CRITICAL THINKING 3. DEVELOPING HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Imagine it is 1967. Do you think you would ally yourself with the hawks or the doves? Give reasons that support your position. 4. EVALUATING Do you agree that antiwar protests were “acts of disloyalty”? Why or why not? 5. ANALYZING VISUAL SOURCES This antiwar poster is a parody of the World War I Uncle Sam poster (shown on page 588), which states, “I want you for the U.S. Army.” Why might the artist have chosen this American character to express the antiwar message? Responding to antiwar posters, Americans who supported the government’s Vietnam policy developed their own slogans: “Support our men in Vietnam” and “America—love it or leave it.” JOHNSON REMAINS DETERMINED Throughout the turmoil and division that engulfed the country during the early years of the war, President Johnson remained firm. Attacked by doves for not withdrawing and by hawks for not increasing military power rapidly enough, Johnson was dismissive of both groups and their motives. He continued his policy of slow escalation. A PERSONAL VOICE LYNDON B. JOHNSON “ There has always been confusion, frustration, and difference of opinion in this country when there is a war going on. . . . You know what President Roosevelt went through, and President Wilson in World War I. He had some senators from certain areas . . . that gave him serious problems until victory was assured. . . . We are going to have these differences. No one likes war. All people love peace. But you can’t have freedom without defending it.” —quoted in No Hail, No Farewell However, by the end of 1967, Johnson’s policy—and the continuing stale- mate—had begun to create turmoil within his own administration. In November, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, a key architect of U.S. escalation in Vietnam, quietly announced he was resigning to become head of the World Bank. “It didn’t add up,” McNamara recalled later. “What I was trying to find out was how . . . the war went on year after year when we stopped the infiltration [from North Vietnam] or shrunk it and when we had a very high body count and so on. It just didn’t make sense.” As it happened, McNamara’s resignation came on the threshold of the most tumultuous year of the sixties. In 1968 the war—and Johnson’s presidency—would take a drastic turn for the worse.

The document summarizes three leaders who fought for independence in Latin America: Miguel Hidalgo of Mexico, Simon Bolivar of South America, and Toussaint L'Ouverture of Haiti.
