THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT (1950- 1961)

PRE-1950S “separate but equal” – Segregation legal if both groups have similar facilities - “equal” rarely happened in practice Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) - Establishes ability to make “separate but equal” law de facto segregation – segregation exists by custom, not by set laws

STARTING THE CHANGE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) - Founded in 1909 - Gave legal help to blacks with civil rights cases Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) - Protest group founded in 1941 - Used sit-ins

SIT-INS Form of non-violent protest - Literally, sit and refuse to move Used to desegregate public areas - Lunch counters, bathrooms, waiting rooms, benches, etc. Used as a model for the rest of the Civil Rights Movement

BROWN V. BOARD 1954 – NAACP sues Topeka, Kansas, school board to integrate schools May 17 - Supreme Court rules in favor NAACP (Brown v. Board of Education) - Overturns Plessy v. Ferguson - Makes “separate but equal” illegal in public schools only https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk58Fq9Qzao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQACkg5i4AY

MONTGOMERY BOYCOTT Dec 1,1955 – Rosa Parks arrested for not giving up her seat to a white man Leads to non-violent protest led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blacks boycott (refuse to use) city buses for 381 days City loses money, integrates buses

LITTLE ROCK Sept 1957 – 9 black students ordered integrated into Little Rock Central High (“Little Rock Nine”) Governor sends National Guard troops to block integration President Eisenhower has to send 1000 US Army troops to force integration; they stay the entire school year

SNCC – Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee 1960 - Created to force integration of public facilities Made up mostly of black and white college students 1st president – Marion Barry Followed Dr. King’s tactic of non-violence

THE FREEDOM RIDERS Groups who traveled to the Deep South to integrate bus waiting rooms Met with violence; many were beaten, one bus was firebombed. Few police helped Birmingham, AL: Police Commissioner “Bull” Connor says his men were off-duty for Mother’s Day

SOME QUESTIONS… Which Supreme Court case made “separate but equal” legal? What makes non-violent protests successful? Which Supreme Court case made “separate but equal” illegal? What does SNCC stand for? Where did the Freedom Riders travel?
