Civil Rights Pretest What is one success of the civil rights movement in the 1950s? Congress did not pass any civil rights laws in the 1950s. The Supreme Court ruled that segregation in schools was legal. Governor Wallace prevented students from entering schools. The Supreme Court ruled that segregation on buses was illegal.

How did Linda Brown’s parents help to end segregation? They organized a bus boycott. They boycotted the Topeka, KS schools. They went to court to fight for desegregation of schools. They marched for equal rights in Washington, D.C. Rosa Parks’ is most associated with militant movement The March on Washington The Montgomery Bus Boycott Brown vs. Board of Education

Who was the attorney who won the Brown vs. Board of Education case? Thurgood Marshall Robert Kennedy Malcolm X Martin Luther King, Jr. Which of the following actions would Martin Luther King, Jr. have MOST LIKELY supported? segregation in the military African Americans carrying guns in case they are attacked by white racists the arrest of Rosa Parks African Americans sitting at an all-white lunch counter asking to be served.

Civil Rights Movement The movement that fought for laws that guaranteed constitutional rights to all citizens regardless of race

Civil Rights Act of 1964

The Civil Rights Movement finally led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. The act prohibited discrimination based on color, race, or religion in places like restaurants, hotels, motels, and theaters. The law enforced desegregation of schools by saying that no federal money would be given to segregated schools. The Civil Rights Act also said that people of all races, male or female, should be provided equal chances to get a job.

Voting Rights Act of 1965

The 15th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution had given African American men and women the right to vote. Yet many states still used reading tests (known as “literacy tests”) to keep them from voting. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 put a stop to voting discriminations by banning all literacy tests! **Interesting Fact** In Mississippi in 1960, only 5% of eligible African Americans were registered to vote in the state. In 1968 after the Voting Rights Act, nearly 60% of eligible African Americans were registered.
