Introduction to segregation and civil rights movement for beginners
Black slaves were brought to America and by the 1800s there were 4 million slaves living in the South. After the Civil War in 1865 and the abolition of slavery, black Americans were legally free but still faced widespread discrimination and segregation in the South through Jim Crow laws. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement protested segregation and fought for racial equality through nonviolent protests like the Montgomery Bus Boycott sparked by Rosa Parks' arrest, and sit-ins at segregated facilities. The movement achieved many legal victories but racial inequalities still persist today.

Immigration Power Point
Undocumented youth in America face many challenges. As of 2012, there were 1.1 million undocumented immigrant minors in the US.

Social workers can help these youth by educating them about options to gain legal status like the DREAM Act or student visas. They also accompany minors to legal proceedings since the government does not provide lawyers. Social workers aim to find pathways to citizenship for youth who know America as their home.

Usa41 04 A Civil Rights Web
Black Americans faced ongoing discrimination and racism in the 1950s, particularly in the Southern states with Jim Crow laws enforcing segregation. Voting rights were undermined by violence and intimidation tactics. The NAACP campaigned for equal rights and challenged segregation through strategic court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that segregated schools were inherently unequal. However, desegregation led to resistance from states like Arkansas where the National Guard had to be deployed to enforce integration of Little Rock High School. The civil rights movement employed both non-violent and legal strategies to challenge discrimination and make progress, but full equality was still not achieved.
Civil Rights Cases
