Origins of the Civil Rights Movement Objective: Identify factors that contributed to the Civil Rights Movement; Explain the significance of Brown v. Board of Education

How did WWII change attitudes about segregation? Americans began to see racism as evil War had made African Americans more determined to win equality at home in jobs, housing, and education African Americans gained important resources to help fight segregation.

CORE Congress of Racial Equality founded in 1942 in Chicago Carried out protests in public places that refused to admit or serve African Americans Helped end segregation in restaurants and other public places in many Northern cities

Explain Plessy v. Ferguson Louisiana law called for ‘equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races’ on trains. June 7, 1892 – Homer Plessy took a seat in a train car reserved for whites. Conductor told him to move, and he refused. Plessy convicted of breaking the “separate car” law.

Supreme Court decision – “separate but equal” facilities for blacks and whites did not violate the Constitution. State governments across the south applied decision to all areas of life. “Jim Crow” laws forced African Americans to use separate restaurants, hotels, train cars, parks, schools, and hospitals.
