It had it roots in efforts of African slaves and their descendants to resist racial oppression and abolish the institution of slavery.

The Movement The Movement was all about standing up for what they believe in. They will keep standing until they get knocked down, and then get right back up. Riots and rebellions were led, while African Americans along with other races, fought without violence until they got rights.

Segregation White public treatment White public treatment black public treatment black public treatment

Civil Rights Act of 1964 The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment. Powers given to enforce the act were weak at first, but was building during later years. This was a great relief to the movement but, the movement fought for more rights to help their country become an equal economy, in the work place, schools, and convince the rest of the public that other races were important.

Separate but equal Separate but equal was a legal doctrine, but was not enforced with much effort. This was not completely enforced until later years.

Brown vs. The Board of Education

Brown vs. The Board Brown vs. The Board declared that there should be separate black and white schools. For much of the Brown case, race relations have been dominated by racial segregation. This policy had been endorsed by the U.S. Supreme court case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, which held that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were "equal," segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ("no State shall... deny to any person... the equal protection of the laws.").

Emmett Till Fourteen year old boy from Chicago, Emmett Till is visiting family in Mississippi when he is kidnapped, brutally beaten, shot, and dumped in the Tallahatchie River for whistling at a white woman. Two white men, J. W. Milam and Roy Bryant, are arrested for the murder and acquitted by an all-white jury. They later boast about committing the murder.

Spark of the movement The murder of Emmett Till baffled some across the country. This wanted all races to help, even whites. This was a big spark and got the movement going.

Non-violent organizations NAACP – National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. One of the oldest civil rights organizations. It’s mission, to ensure the political, educational, and economic equality rights. SNCC – Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee. An Organization supporting freedom.

March on Washington Large group of different races gathering for Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous speech.

Malcolm X Malcolm X respected Dr King. But, had a different opinion. He believed that using violence to assert their ways would work in the long run. He believed that if we wait around and hope, nothing is going to come out of it. We need to take action, Malcolm thought. He wanted whites to respect them but, he still wanted to be separated.

Black Panther Party forms after Malcolm X’s speech The Black Panther Party didn’t wait for rights to come to them, they fought until whites respected them, but they still wanted to be separated.

Several African Americans such as Shirley Chisholm exemplified the advances won in the civil rights movement. She was the first Black woman in the U.S. house of representatives. Then finally in 2008, Barack Obama became our first Black president. Several African Americans such as Shirley Chisholm exemplified the advances won in the civil rights movement.
