Lecture 12 ii - civil rights- chee

LACCD

The civil rights movement of the 1960s achieved many accomplishments, including the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision declaring segregation unconstitutional, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 which prohibited racial discrimination and guaranteed equal voting rights. Key events included the Montgomery bus boycott launched by Rosa Parks, sit-ins led by student groups like SNCC, the March on Washington and MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, and the violent Selma marches which helped pass the Voting Rights Act. However, the decade was also marked by ongoing violence and assassinations of leaders like MLK and Malcolm X.

United States Relations with South Africa: A Critical Overview from the Colon...

elegantbrain

Relations between the United States and South Africa—or the parts of the world these nations now occupy—go nearly as far back as the very beginning of their inception as permanent European colonial intrusions; and this book is a critical overview of them from the late seventeenth century to the present. Unprecedented in its scope (supported by detailed extensive endnotes together with copious bibliographic citations and a lengthy chronology, glossary, and appendices), the book distinguishes itself from extant works in a number of other ways. Set against the backdrop of a wider interdisciplinary exploration of both ideational and structural issues of historical context, it not only gives attention to the importance of contributions from nonofficial actors in shaping official relations, but also considers the impact of the geo-political location of South Africa within southern Africa, where the presence of other nations—particularly Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zimbabwe—looms large. Methodologically, it is written from the perspectives of both traditional narrative history and Khaldunian interpretive historical analysis; consequently, it also sits at the interdisciplinary interstice of political economy and sociology where the aim is to advance our understanding of the Braudelian interconnectedness of world history as an important diachronic determinant of the diplomacy of foreign relations. Written for both scholars and policy analysts, this book’s examination of the agency of the marginalized should also be of interest to activists and the reading public.

The Fracturing of the New Deal Coalition The “credibility” issue: Many will increasingly distrust what their government tells them. The Vietnam War will indicate to many that their government cannot be trusted. In the 1950s, many regarded the government as the engine of growth. Between the 1950s and 1960s, however, many began to grow suspicious of government action. Rather than providing for an improved McCarthyism Student Activism Students for a More Democratic Society “The Port Huron Statement,” 1962 “We are people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort, housed now in universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit.” Answering a Question on the Review Sheet!!! How did fear of foreign communism help to shape post-war American culture? Why were many concerned that the effort to fight communism overseas my have a negative impact on Freedom and democracy at home? The Civil Rights Era or the Black Freedom Movement Historians have had a tendency to isolate the events of the late 1950s and the 1960s from the broader chronology of African Americans pushing for civil rights. The Life of Ella Baker Ella Baker’s life demonstrates the difficulty of limiting the civil rights era to the 1950s and 1960s. Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka From Chief Justice Earl Warren’s decision: “We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other ‘tangible’ factors may be equal deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does.” The Actions of Civil Rights Activists also helped to build momentum for Civil Rights Montgomery Bus Boycotts, 1955 -- largely failed to get national attention. Violence in other places around the South, however, provided powerful images for the national media. Little Rock, Arkansas In 1957, President Eisenhower sent the 101 Airborne division to enforce a court order forcing integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Woolworth Sit Ins In 1960, four black college students from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro decided to sit at the “whites only” counter in their local F.W. Woolworth and order coffee and doughnuts. For the Michigan students who would organize the SDS in 1962, it seemed like an advance for democracy and were excited about joining the movement to topple Jim Crow in the United States. Answering a Question on the Review Sheet!!! How was the “sit-in” movement of 1960 an outgrowth of earlier protests? What major differences divided the various groups—SNCC, SCLC, NAACP, CORE, and others—that were active in protesting against white supremacy in the 1960s? Violence in Birmingham Growing Pressures on the Democratic Party In the 1960s, the Democratic Party would suffer the impossible challenge of defeating communism, satisfying the concerns of student activists, meeting the demands o.

This chapter discusses the economic boom and social changes in the United States during the 1950s. The postwar period saw unprecedented economic growth, fueled by government spending, a surge in births known as the "baby boom", and suburban expansion. Science and technology also advanced rapidly, with breakthroughs in medicine, electronics, computing, weapons development, and the space program. However, not all shared in the new-found prosperity as poverty persisted in rural areas and inner cities. The civil rights movement also gained momentum during this transformative decade.

When news of his death reached Washington D.C., riots broke out among the city's African American community in neighborhoods like 14th and U Street. 2) Over several days, the riots spread throughout various parts of the city. More than 1,200 fires were set, damaging over 200 stores. The National Guard was deployed to help local police regain control. 3) The 1968 riots in Washington D.C. revealed deep racial tensions and economic inequality in the city.

WEEK 6· Chapter 13 • Goodbye America The Chicano in t.docx

WEEK 6· Chapter 13 • Goodbye America: The Chicano in the 1960s 295 consider the ending of poverty a worthwhile goal. Euro-Americans increasingly wanted the poor to just go away. According to U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, "The fact is that most people who have no skill have no education for the same reason-low intelligence or low ambition:'48 Bureaucratic conflict also weakened the War on Poverty. The Department of Labor refused to cooperate with OEO; social workers perceived it as a threat to the welfare bureaucracy and their hegemony among the poor. Local politicians claimed that OEO programs "fostered class struggle." Meanwhile, as government officials and others quickly gained control of the programs, the participation of the poor declined. By 1966, President Johnson began dismantling the OEO, with Head Start going to Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Job Corps, to the Department of Labor. He then substituted the "Model Cities" program for OEO. Johnson, faced with opposition within his own party over the war in Vietnam, announced that he would not seek reelection. The assassination of Robert Kennedy during the California primary also dealt a blow to Mexican American hope. The election of Richard Nixon in 1968 put the proverbial final nail in the coffin. Impart of the War on Poverty The impact of the War on Poverty on Chicanos was huge. A study of 60 OEO advisory boards in East Los Angeles-Boyle Heights-South Lincoln Heights, for instance-showed that 1,520 individuals, 71 percent of whom lived in these communities, served on the boards; two-thirds were women. Many Chic;ano activists of the 1960s developed a sense of political consciousness as a result of poverty programs, which advertised the demands and grievances of the poor and created an ideology that legitimized protest. Many minorities came to learn that they had the right to work in government and to petition it. Legal aid programs and Head Start, a public preschool system, also proved invaluable to the poor. The number of poor fell dramatically between 1965 and 1970 as Social Security, health, and welfare payments more than doubled. When the federal government cut the last of the War on Poverty programs in the 1980s, poverty escalated.49 MAGNETIZATION OF THE BORDER <t--VJ -\\ e....'(' -e_ A population boom in Mexico tossed millions into Mexico's labor pool, thus intensifying the push factors. In 1950, Mexico had a population of 25.8 million; it jumped to 34.9 million 10 years later and was rushing toward 50 million by the end of the 1960s. Driving this increase was the fertility rate of Mexican women, which increased from an average of 1.75 percent in 1922-1939 to 2.25 percent in 1939-1946 and to 6.9 percent in the late 1950s. Mexico had the fastest-growing gross national product (GNP) in Latin America, but it did not offset this increase in population. The termination of the bracero (guest worker) program in 1964 worsened Mexico's econ.

Required Reading : American YAWP Chapter 27 Primary Sources: Lyndon Johnson, Howard University Commencement Address (1965) National Organization for Women, “Statement of Purpose” (1966) George M. Garcia, Vietnam Veteran, Oral Interview (2012/1969) The Port Huron Statement (1962) The 1960s was a pivotal decade in American history. The legacy of the 1960s, for example, the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, and feminism, still resonates in America today. When John Kennedy assumed the presidency in 1961, he inspired a generation of young people to serve their country in organizations like the Peace Corps. Millions of Baby Boomers, born after World War II, went to colleges and universities in the 1960s. Many young people in the 1960s felt they could change the nation for the better. Early in the decade, many young Americans fought for civil rights and the end to racial discrimination in public places and in voting. The Civil Rights movement had major successes in the 1960s with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. By 1964-65, the growing anti-war movement grew on college campuses across the country as the United States increased its military involvement in South Vietnam. Vietnam had been divided in 1954 between a communist North Vietnam and a democratic South Vietnam. The United States supported South Vietnam with economic and military assistance because we did not want South Vietnam to fall to communism. In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson began to dramatically increase US military involvement in South Vietnam as hundreds of thousands of American troops were sent to fight the war. The war became deeply unpopular in the United States among young people, and by the late 1960s, other Americans as well who became disillusioned by the lack of progress in the war. The 1960s saw the rise of many movements to address sexism, homophobia, and the environmental crisis in America. The Second Wave feminist movement challenged the gender norms of the 1950s that women belonged in the home. The modern gay rights movement started during the Stonewall Riots in 1969 against police brutality and discrimination of gay and lesbian people. Finally, we also saw the environmental movement gain national attention as it focused on clean air and water.
