This previous answer is not true. Although the modern Civil Rights Movement was in fact at first, led by Martin Luther King Jr, he did not start it. Important events such as the murder of a young black boy from Chicago named Emmett Till, who was lynched by 2 white men, and the passing of cases such as the Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education. Such events as these helped cause the blacks to finally unite and fight for their rights. A women's political group actually began a meeting that became the first time blacks united together to fight for their rights as a people. It was at this meeting that Martin Luther King was voted to lead the non-violent era of the Civil Rights Movement.

it led to the sale of the majority of native americans land to whites

martin luther king jr was arrested 5 times for taking part in civil rights protests.

what best decribes the ideology associated with the civil rights movements

The Civil Rights Movement was a profound movement of the 20th century. It helped people of color to be treated the same as people who were white. That they had a fair trial, and were not murdered in cold blood. It helped to give people of color equal opportunities to jobs, housing and more.

they attracted national sympathy for a nonviolent movement that was being attacked with violence

Segregation was the shameful practice - especially in South Africa, where black and white people were segregated - kept apart from each other - in all sorts of social ways. For example, white people (who ruled the country) kept the most fertile land for themselves, giving the blacks the rest. The best schools, hospitals, areas of the towns, doctors, shops, even beaches and sports centres were whites only - with black people having to make do with the poorest resources. Even transport was segregated - black people were not allowed to ride on the same buses as white people. Relationships between black and white people were banned, and even business or social activities was not acceptable. Thankfully nowadays segregation in South Africa is against the law, but there is still quite a bit of racism there - mostly whites agains black people, but also vice versa as well, although one could almost forgive the bitterness some black people show to white people because of the years of oppression by them.

In the US, as well as other countries, everyone has the right to vote.

The black where separated from the whites because of the color of their skin. Also blacks had little rights. The blacks could not fight with whites, play, date, or marry a white person. The civil rights movement changed that so that blacks were able to have the same rights as white people.

Daisy Bates the Civil Rights Activist, publisher, and writer had no children of her own.

I have heard many things about this but I would say it took place in about the 1850s.

Equal pay for equal work, voting rights for women, the right of women to sit on juries and to apply for more jobs than they previously could. The right to serve as volunteers on active duty in the armed forces, and the right to run for political office.

jackass people were the two features

The Compromise of 1850 called for the admission of California as a free state; the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Law; popular sovereignty in Utah and New Mexico concerning the question of slavery; the abolition of the slave trade in D.C.; and the federal assumption of Texas's debt.

As reconstruction ended and the Blacks lost political power in the South, there was no more federal civil rights legislation until The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960. The spark that started the modern Civil Rights movement occurred in December of 1955. Blacks were very tired of the discriminating, but what really set it off was the murder of Emmett Till. Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, as Montgomery, Alabama law required. The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. became the spokesman for the protest that developed and led the Black boycott of the Montgomery Bus system. The result was felt nation wide. Sit ins at all White lunch counters, marches, and demonstrations forced the government to act. In 1957, the first Blacks tried to enroll in Central High School, in Little Rock. Whites and the governor blocked their way. President Eisenhower had to use troops to protect the Black students and allow them entrance to the High School. The most comprehensive civil rights legislation was passed by Congress and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination for reason of color, race, religion, or national origin in places of public accommodation, and anything covered by interstate commerce. That included restaurants, hotels, motels, and theaters. The act also forbad discrimination in employment and discrimination on the bases of sex.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was the most prominent man of God involved with the Civil Rights Movement. He was an ordained Baptist minister.

Civil disobedience (compassion through respectful disagreement) has brought about very important social change, especially when it has been very well organized, well understood by participants, and effectively executed. See link

Since the Civil War (1860-1865) African-Americans still were treated unjustly. With the South's "Jim Crowe" laws that stated that African Americans were equal but separate. This meant they did not have the same rights as the majority of people. They had to drink from fountains labeled "Negroes only," or could not stay at a reputable hotel, even had bathrooms labeled "Negroes only." They also could not go to the same school with whites. In the 1950's and 1960's, the African-Americans were represented by two powerful speaking men Malcolm X and Rev Dr. Martin Luther King. On June 6, 1963, President John F. Kennedy urged the nation to take action toward guaranteeing equal treatment of every American regardless of race on national T.V. Soon after, Kennedy proposed that Congress consider civil rights legislation that would address voting rights, public accommodations, school desegregation, nondiscrimination in federally assisted programs, and more.

Despite Kennedy's assassination in November of 1963, his proposal culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson just a few hours after House approval on July 2, 1964. The act outlawed segregation in businesses such as theaters, restaurants, and hotels. It banned discriminatory practices in employment and ended segregation in public places such as swimming pools, libraries, and public schools.

Passage of the act was not easy. House opposition bottled up the bill in the House Rules Committee. In the Senate, opponents attempted to talk the bill to death in a filibuster. In early 1964, House supporters overcame the Rules Committee obstacle by threatening to send the bill to the floor without committee approval. The Senate filibuster was overcome through the floor leadership of Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, the considerable support of President Lyndon B. Johnson, and the efforts of Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois, who convinced Republicans to support the bill.

There are 3 women who refused to give up their seats in Montgomery that year.

Claudette Colvin was the first black girl (she was 15 and had just written a school paper about prohibitions on black people trying on clothing in the 'white' section of a department store) to refuse to get up when told she had to. She was arrested and hauled off the bus 9 months before Rosa. She was raped and got pregnant so, in an incident of victim blaming, was denied her chance at being the poster girl for civil rights.

Mary Louise Smith was 18 when she refused to give up her seat and was arrested. She was jailed and fined $9, it was paid by her father. He had a drinking problem so the NAACP passed her up as the poster girl for civil rights.

Rosa, as a secretary for the NAACP, was involved raising money for Claudett's defense 8 months earlier. She was a devout woman and had no dirty laundry in her closet. She was the perfect candidate to advance the bus seating protest.

President John F. Kennedy and his administration finally began to support the civil rights movement after the Birmingham Campaign of 1963. He signed the Civil Rights Act in response to the highly publicized and violent confrontations of the campaign.
