Albany Movement Albany, Georgia –*This was a battleground for civil rights –More than 500 protestors jailed –MLK Jr. was invited to lead more demonstrations > arrested –Their tactic was to fill the jails –Leaders refused to negotiate with MLK Jr so he left > major defeat –*MLK Jr. learned he would only participate in his own- organized events

Birmingham Campaign Birmingham, Alabama –Known for strict segregation –1963 MLK Jr. jailed > Here he wrote his “Letter from jail” –Used kids as demonstrators –900 arrested > effect? –Eugene “Bull” Connor (police chief) used fire hoses & dogs to break up protestors –Seen on TV > *Changed nations’ perception

Assassination of Medgar Evers Medgar Evers was the head of the Mississippi NAACP –Evers was one of the most effective Civil Rights leaders –In 1963, he was shot in his front yard –Police arrested KKK member Byron De La Beckwith –2 all-white juries failed to reach a verdict in 2 trials so he went free –30 years later, De La Beckwith was tried again & at age 73 in 1994, he was convicted & sentenced to life in prison

March on Washington August 1963 –To build support for the civil rights movement, leaders planned a march at the capital –200,000 people attended –One of largest demonstrations ever –*MLK Jr. “Dream Speech” “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up & live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal’… I have a dream that my 4 children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character. I have a dream today!”

March on Washington

Civil Rights Act of 1964 Kennedy wanted to pass an act ending discrimination in public areas –After the March on Washington, LBJ supported a strong civil rights bill –Civil Rights Act of 1964 banned discrimination in employment & in public accommodations
