CHAPTER 21 – CIVIL RIGHTS

RIDING FOR FREEDOM Civil rights activists ride buses across the South (Washington D.C. to New Orleans) CORE in 1961 tests Supreme Court decisions banning segregation on interstate bus routes They wanted a violent reaction from white southerners– why? Beaten in Alabama by white mobs and by cops in Birmingham Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, makes bus drivers continue driving Pres. Kenney sends 400 U.S. marshals to protect the riders

INTEGRATION OF SOUTHERN SCHOOLS James Meredith is accepted to Uni. Of Mississippi (1962) Gov. Ross Barnett refuses to let him register Pres. Kennedy sends federal marshals Riots break out Federal officers had to accompany him to class

Birmingham, Alabama “Bombingham” Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and MLK Jr. are invited to help desegregate the city King is arrested during a demonstration on April, 1963

How did King feel about white religious leaders who felt he was pushing too fast?

Birmingham, Alabama King gets out of jail after two weeks Helps plan demonstrations African-American children march 2,000 black kids are shown on t.v. being beaten, attacked by dogs, sprayed by fire houses Pres. Kennedy demands Congress pass a civil rights bill

Questions 1. What did the freedom riders hope to achieve? 2. What events led to desegregation in Birmingham? 3. Why do you think many white southerners used violent means to oppose (fight) the civil rights movement?
