Civil Rights Movement

because it showed people that american society needed to change, more specifically it showed the house wife that stayed home and watched this happen on tv.

No. For most, it took about another hundred years or so.

That depends on you definition of "get their civil rights." They certainly gained some civil right immediately following the civil war, as they were no longer slaves, however it was many years before they had all of the civil liberties that whites could enjoy.

The movement splintered due to a march being done. During that march Martin Luther King said what do we want and Stokely Charmiceal said Black Power, causing a different meaning to be protrayed. Also many times where whites helped to make advancements in civil rights it cause theyre death and whites to get even more upset that they are killed for blacks. so many people didnt want to be hated on and created all black organization only wanting their people that actually are discriminated against instead of "outsiders" that dont even get the hatred.

After Rosa Parks was arrested the churches met to discuss how they could change the law. King was a young minister and it was decided that a boycott was the way to go instead of using violence.

There is a lot of ways LR9 affected the CRM. They challenged segregation, they brought attention to the impact of the integration, it raised public awareness (media attention), their enterance made nationwide news and the govenment helped them out. Well, President Eisenhower did. Hope this helped!

what role did Coretta Scott king play during and after the civil rights movement and after martin Luther kings death? aha.

Answer this question… He compares the journey to both a "tortuous road" and "a super highway of justice."

The first "Freedom Ride" left Washington, DC, for the southern states on May 4, 1961. The bus rides continued for a number of months throughout that year.

Malcolm x used violence to gain civil rights. He was the leader of the black panther.

No

He met with Truman and Congress

He planned a protest in front of the White House

The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 prohibited lands from being taken away. The Act did not require tribes to have a constitution and is commonly known as the Wheeler-Howard Act.

yes

The divine right of kings was a long term cause of the war because Charles I would always talk about it and how it gave him power to do what he wanted and no one could tell him what to do as God had given him power.

World War II set the stage for the Civil Rights Movement. The immediate demand for soldiers created a shortage of white male workers in the labor force. President Roosevelt issued a directive banning any discriminatory practices by federal agencies or those involved in war related industries. This opened new job opportunities for blacks and set the stage for the Civil Rights Movement.

When state troopers met the demonstrators at the edge of the city and beat them, it triggered a wave across the nation.

The popular political notion is that 20th century Democrats were the ones supportive of civil rights, and that Republicans didn't much care or even opposed it, having supposedly long before sold ought freed slaves to political expediency. The history is completely different. The "Civil Rights Movement" of the mid-20th century was supported in various ways by Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. Truman began strong efforts to integrate the military, which were greatly expanded by Eisenhower. In fact, while Truman talked much more about it, Eisenhower, who talked little and sought to "do the right thing", accomplished much more. (Partly because of this difference between rhetoric and actual policy, Eisenhower is seldom given the credit due him in this area, though some new research into his Presidency is beginning to rectify that, as seen in the 2007 book, A Matter of Justice, by David A. Nichols http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2007/11/21/an_inside_look_at_eisenhowers_civil_rights_record/) Eisenhower quickly and decisively forced equal treatment in Washington D.C. backed Supreme Court justices & the enforcement of their decisions (beginning esp with Brown v the Board of education)in favor of civil rights and secured passage of the first great modern Civil Rights Act in 1957. Kennedy's support for the movement was mixed. Lyndon Johnson is often most associated with the movement, since it was 'on his watch' that the most extensive legal gains were made. His record was not as good in the 1950s when, as a powerful Texas Senator he had played a bit of both sides - wanting Northern support and credit for helping to pass civil rights legislation but without offending his constituents and fellow Southern Democratic Senators. (In 1960 his lukewarm support almost prevented the Civil Rights bill Eisenhower wanted, but in the end members of the administration compromised .) But during his Presidency Johnson strongly backed such legislation, and was finally able to pass it, though only through the overwhelming support of Republican Senators who short-circuited Southern Democratic filibuster attempts. Support for "the movement" (and more importantly for civil rights) continued under Richard Nixon, who also gets little credit for the major gains under his policies which quickly and peacefully integrated schools, for example. (Again, and unfortunately, political posturing and misinformation has led to the popular notion that Nixon didn't care much about civil rights. It is often alleged that Nixon's "Southern strategy" to gain the Presidency was a move built on bringing white racists to the Republican Party. On the contrary, at that time BOTH parties were signalling that they would NOT tolerate racist policies, so that people would have to choose a party for OTHER reasons. Nixon had also been a strong supporter of civil rights record in the Senate, including when he presided there, long before Kennedy or Johnson.) http://www.nixonera.com/library/domestic.asp http://hnn.us/articles/5331.html It should also be noted that many earlier Republican Presidents from the time of Reconstruction (Grant) to the 1920s (Harding) made many attempts to expand the civil rights protections of blacks, though often thwarted, esp. by the unified South.
