Editor's Notes

  1. In 1954, Brown Vs. Board of Education was ruled that public school segregation was unconstitutional which led to desegregation. In 1956, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person which led the bus boycott to desegregation of public transportation. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. started the non-violence Civil Rights Movement along with other activists called The Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In 1960, four black students ate in a segregated restaurant and President Kennedy issued an Executive Order in ending discrimination in federal government hiring. Also, in 1960, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was founded at Shaw University, Raleigh, North Carolina. The SNCC provided younger blacks in joining which led to a more radical organization. In 1964, the 24th amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was created. The 24th amendment was the abolishment of the poll tax and President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to abolish all segregation in public facilities and schools. No one should be discriminated against their race, religion, color, or national origin. The “Jim Crow Laws” was abolished. The Voting Rights Act 1965 gave the opportunity for southern blacks to register to vote. In 1968, the Civil Rights Act 1968 was signed by President Johnson in prohibiting discrimination in property sales, rental, and financing (“International Civil Rights Center and Museum”, 2016).
  2. Every individual has the right to have both civil rights and human rights. However, protection can differ depending on the type of rights. Human rights and Civil rights can both intertwine with one another. Human rights are rights in which every one is born with—the right to civil rights and to participate in their community and culture, the rights to an education and work conditions (“reComparison beta”, 2016). The Civil Rights Movement was primarily under civil rights fights for equal opportunities in which human rights existed. However, the civil rights differed because of the national legislation that had discrimination within the South part of the United States. The Civil Rights Movement exercised human rights by using freedom of expression: Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood (“United Nations”, 2016). Article 2: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty (“United Nations”, 2016).
  3. Everyone in the world are entitled to human rights. Its is an universal right and has international legislation. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (2016), The Preamble states: “Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law, Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations, Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge, Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction” (“United Nations”, 2016).
  4. Affirmative action began in 1962 when President Kennedy assigned an Executive Order that all contractors to take “affirmative action” within their company so that everyone would be employed regardless of their race (Gratz, 2014). This intent of this order was to create diversity in jobs by having people from different backgrounds or culture to be able to work together. However, affirmative action changed over the years which companies or employers started to use affirmative action in a negative way by picking people based on their race. This is where the issue started.
  5. The Civil Rights Movement gave an opportunity for African-Americans to have equal rights no matter what part of the United States they are in. Every human being shall no be discriminated based on their race, religion, gender, disability, socioeconomic and should have the right to education. Adult learning has been impacted on different paradigms including diversity. For some people, adult learning is a personal achievement, whereas others will continue learning for job advancements. No matter the influences, everyone has the right to receive education.
