Civil Rights Movement

Rights that are afforded to citizens of a country, namely, or even a city.

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Louise McCauley Parks [February 4, 1913-October 24, 2005] refused an order from Montgomery city bus driver James F. Blake [April 14, 1912-March 21, 2002] to give up her seat to a later-boarding white passenger. African-Americans responded to her arrest, with the Montgomery city bus boycott of December 3, 1955-December 20, 1956. According to a federal district court ruling of June 4, 1956, the laws by which the state of Alabama was able to maintain racially segregated buses were found to be unconstitutional. The ruling was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, on November 13 of the same year. Parks' refusal and subsequent arrest, the boycott, and the two rulings were key to the development of successful civil rights movements in the U.S. For all four events were intended to end the racial segregation that African-Americans had identified as the critical obstacle to the achievement of economic, political and social equality among America's races.

Julio Cesar Chavez has done several things in his life. He was a professional Mexican boxer. He is now retired. He is a six-time world champion. His son is also a boxer. He won a match against the undefeated Meldrick Taylor.

The American Civil Rights movement was one of the most important periods in the country's history. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the leading figures. One of the most important moments was the lunch counter sit-in in Alabama. Rosa Parks made another landmark point when she refused to give up her seat on the bus.

He was from the deep south, and had many political allies who were movers and shakers.

He planned a protest march In front of the White House. (Apex)

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not actually start the civil rights movement. However, he became a widely popular leader of the movement, in part by leading protests at some of the hot spots in the South. Dr. King taught people to resist without violence, a tactic that swung great popular sympathy to the movement.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was basically a way to say that African Americans were protected by the same rights as everyone else. However, just because they were protected by the same rights, they were in by no means equal to whites.

Jo Ann Robinson was the woman who helped start the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

She was born April 17, 1912 near Culloden Georgia. She graduated valedictorian at her high school. She went to Fort Valley State college. Then, she became an English professor at Alabama State college.

In 1949 she sat in the 5th row of a bus in Montgomery. (the first 10 rows were reserved for white people only) The bus driver verbally attacked her and she ran off the bus.

In 1950 she became the president of the Women's Political Council (WCP) where she focused on bus arrangements for blacks.

After Rosa Parks was arrested in 1950, she made flyers to announce a day long bus boycott in Montgomery. On December 5, 1950 the bus boycott began. The boycott lasted for over a year instead of one day.

After her involvement with civil rights, she went back to being a teacher. She moved to Los Angeles where she continued to teach until her retirement in 1976. She died in 1992.

There were many reasons with no one specific explanation for women getting the right to vote in Wyoming and other western states.

Wyoming and other western states needed more people. By giving women the right to vote, Wyoming hoped to attract women from the eastern states.

Granting women the right to vote also brought publicity to Wyoming.

Politics was also a part. African American men were also being given the right to vote at the same time and there were concerns about counteracting their votes.

Plus, people in Wyoming believed that women should be given the right to vote and that voting (suffrage) is a basic right of citizenship.

i dont no u tell me

i think its better than using militant activism or nonviolent confrontation. in the end, results will be made through legal gradualism

Martin Luther King Jr. is a prophet today because he freed native americans for their rights, and he died in the doing so. he knew some people would dislike him for what he has done, and he was okay with that. he gave up his life for what he believed in, and hesacrificed himself for doing so.

Honestly, the specifics depend on what time period you were referring to but in general from the US Civil War through the Civil Rights Movement, southern whites viewed the North as uneducated in the ways of the South, as getting involved in something they had no business tampering with and southerners thought northerners viewed themselves as superior over their southern brethren.

In regards to minorities, many (but not all) Southerners viewed minorities as a lower life form, basically. Quite a lot of fear and misunderstanding played into that view as well because the whites didn't understand many of the customs of the minorities and vice versa. Ironically, many Southerners viewed themselves as superior over minorities, especially African-Americans.

I can only assume that you are refering to : Martin Luther King
