What was the major goal of civil rights movements of 1950?

Answer 1

ANSWER:For some Blacks the postwar era offered new and significant gains in employment and education and greater opportunities in sports, the military, and the entertainment field.

By 1950, Black enrollment in colleges had increased 2,500 percent over the previous decade. In Hollywood, film actor Sidney Poitier would later become the first Black male to win the Academy Award for "Best Actor." Gwendolyn Brooks won a Pulitzer Prize for her poetry. Hulan Jack was elected president of the borough of Manhattan, in New York City. Benjamin Davis, Jr., became the air force's first Black general.

But these people were a small part of the Black population. The vast majority experienced poverty, chronic unemployment, discrimination in jobs, and inferior housing and schooling. These conditions hurt even more than they had before, because the new mass media with all its advertising constantly reminded Blacks of the affluence of others.

Of all forms of official discrimination in America, the segregation of races in the public schools was the most obvious. Black schools lagged miserably behind those of Whites in equipment and facilities. The 14th Amendment attempted to guarantee that the states would give their citizens the "equal protection of the laws." In the 1890's, in the case Plessy v. Ferguson, the United States Supreme Court came up with the "separate but equal phrase." The Court ruled that separate facilities for different races, as long as they were equal in quality, did not violate the 14th Amendment. The original "separate but equal" doctrine referred to railroad accommodations.

Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark case for Black Americans. In 1954, the Supreme Court helped knock down some of the nation's racial barriers in its ruling of Brown v. Board of Education. The suit actually involved a number of school systems from Topeka, Kansas, to Washington, DC.

Speaking for the unanimous Court, Chief Justice Earl Warren declared that separation is inherently unequal. The following year the Court ordered 17 states to develop plans for eliminating segregation "with all deliberate speed."

In September of 1957, a federal court ordered Central High School, in Little Rock, Arkansas, to admit nine Black students. It would be September of 1958, before the situation was finally resolved and the schools reopened, integrated.

With the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which was in connection with Rosa Parks being arrested for sitting near the front portion of a city bus. It would be 11 months after Rosa Parks was arrested before the Supreme Court would declare that the "Alabama segregation laws were unconstitutional."
