After the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, conditions did not drastically improve for most African Americans and impatience with the slow pace of change led some to more radical methods. The Freedom Summer campaign in 1964 aimed to register black voters in Mississippi but faced violence. The 1965 Selma march pressured Congress to pass voting rights laws, resulting in the Voting Rights Act. However, discrimination and poverty still plagued urban communities, sparking riots in cities in 1967. New leaders like the Black Panthers advocated for black power, while King continued nonviolent advocacy until his 1968 assassination.

this article talks about how African American were still upset even after the civil rights act because they were still being discriminated against.
TOPIC CENTER: CIVIL RIGHTS REIGNITES, 1965-1968
During the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century, African Americans took up many different strategies in their struggle for political and social equality. Beginning in the 1950s, many activists turned to leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated nonviolent protest and civil resistance as the primary means to secure equal rights. However, by 1965, many African Americans were frustrated by the racism and discrimination that continued in their daily lives. By this time, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had been passed, which banned discrimination based on race and ended racial segregation in schools and the workplace. This legislation, while a major victory for civil rights leaders, did not necessarily trickle down immediately to become reality for most African Americans. For them, everyday life was still characterized by poor socioeconomic conditions and discrimination. As such, other movements that advocated for black civil rights began to develop along the mainstream civil rights movement, the most prominent of which was the black power movement. Epitomized by the Black Panther Party, this movement advocated self-defense and black nationalism in opposition to the nonviolence of such leaders as King.
Urban Riots and Violent Protest
By the time the Civil Rights Act was finally passed, African Americans had spent decades fighting for equality in a society that had viewed them as second-class citizens. Even though slavery had been abolished and African Americans had won the right to vote, deep-seated racism persisted. Accepted social practices like segregation in housing and education kept blacks relegated to the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder, with little opportunity to climb up.
In response to these injustices, civil rights leaders like King advocated for nonviolent protest, insisting that reacting in violence would only feed into the negative stereotypes of African Americans that formed the basis for racism. However, by the mid-1960s, frustrations exploded. Urban unrest such as the 1965 Watts riot in Los Angeles and the 1967 Detroit riot drew media attention to the realities of black life in, making the situation something that white Americans could no longer ignore.
Black Nationalism
Black nationalism was an ideological movement that could be traced back to abolitionist Martin R. Delaney, who in the mid-19th century advocated for Af ...

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

5. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
Even after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed,
conditions did not improve drastically for most
African Americans.
Impatience with the slow pace of change led
some African Americans to turn to more radical
behavior, and sometimes violent methods. Riots
occurred in many cities. After Martin Luther King,
Jr.’s assassination, more civil rights legislation
was passed, but new challenges arose.
What successes and challenges faced
the civil rights movement after 1964?
6. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
In 1964, many African Americans
were still denied the right to vote.
Southern states used literacy
tests, poll taxes, and intimidation
to prevent African Americans
from voting.
The major civil rights groups sought to end
this injustice.
7. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
• Three campaign volunteers
were murdered, but other
volunteers were not deterred.
• From this effort, the Mississippi
Freedom Democratic party
(MFDP) was formed as an
alternative to the all-white
state Democratic party.
In the summer of
1964, the SNCC
enlisted 1,000
volunteers to help
African Americans
in the South
register to vote.
The campaign was known as
Freedom Summer.
8. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
A MFDP delegation traveled to the Democratic
Convention in 1964 hoping to be recognized as
Mississippi’s only Democratic party.
Neither the MFDP
nor Mississippi’s
regular Democratic
delegation would
accept the
compromise.
MFDP member Fannie Lou
Hamer testified on how she
lost her home for daring to
register to vote.
Party officials refused to seat
the MFDP but offered a
compromise: two MFDP
members could be at-large
delegates.
9. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
In March 1965, Rev. King organized a march on Selma,
Alabama, to pressure Congress to pass voting rights laws.
Once again, the nonviolent marchers were met with
a violent response.
And once again, Americans were outraged by what
they saw on national television.
President Johnson himself went on television and
called for a strong voting rights law.
10. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.

states that discriminated
against minorities
• Extended to include Hispanic voters in 1975
11. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
President Johnson also
called for a federal voting
rights law. The Twenty-
fourth Amendment to
the Constitution, which
banned the poll tax, was
ratified.
At the same time,
Supreme Court
decisions were
handed down that
limited racial
gerrymandering and
established the legal
principle of “one
man, one vote.”
12. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
The Voting Rights Act stirred growing African
American participation in politics. Yet life for
African Americans remained difficult.
• Discrimination and poverty continued to
plague Northern urban centers.
• Simmering anger exploded into violence in the
summer of 1967.
• Watts in Los Angeles; Newark, New Jersey;
and Detroit, Michigan, were the scene of
violent riots.
13. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
Johnson appointed the Kerner Commission
to determine the cause of the riots.
The Commission found that long-term racial
discrimination was the single most important cause of
violence.
The commission’s findings were controversial.
Because of American involvement in the Vietnam War,
there was little money to spend on the commission’s
proposed programs.
14. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
One was Malcolm X, a
minister in the Nation of
Islam, which called for
