Civil Rights Movement

W.E.B. DuBois was one of the most important leaders of African-Americans during the first half of the 29th century. He was the first African-American to promote the concept of Pan Africanism. He founded the Niagara Movement and helped found the N.A.A.C.P. He was a staunch rival of Booker T. Washington, another prominent black leader of the time.

Generally, they were Civil Rights Activists.

More specifically, they were people from the 1960's who wanted segregation laws changed. Many of them were members of the Congress of Racial Equality. Freedom Riders were both African-American and white.

Some notable Freedom Riders are: Stokely Carmichael, Roby Doris Smith-Robinson, James Peck, James L. Farmer, Jr., James Lewis, William Mahoney, and US Representative Bob Filner (D-CA).

The Civil Rights movement has had lasting effects. Students attend school together, regardless of race. Discrimination has been made illegal.

Well I'm no expert...I'm only 14. But I think that the Civil Rights movement, helped us prepare for the future. I mean look at all the races that are here today. Pretty much every kind of race is here. What kind of people would we discriminate against? Would there be Jewish schools, African American schools, White schools, Mexican schools...? The list goes on. Well that's all I can really contribute for now. And if you want to discuss it more at all for some reason. My email is ff7valentine@comcast.net

Yes & No New Zealand was the first to give women the right to vote in 1893. The colony of South Australia enacted legislation giving women the vote in 1894. Places with similar status which granted women the vote include Wyoming Territory (1869). Other possible contenders for first "country" to grant females the right to vote ( called suffrage ) include the Corsican Republic, the Isle of Man (1881), the Pitcairn Islands, Franceville, and Tavolara, but some of these had brief existences as independent states and others were not clearly independent.

An Anglo family, I believe she worked for them, sponsored her to go to a gospel camp where Anglos and African Americans sang and socialized together. That is where she saw Anglos and African Americans being treated the same. When she returned to a segregated Montgomery, she knew that it was not right to be separated because of skin color.

E. D. Nixon got Rosa Parks more involved in the civil rights battle when he wanted to use her case to test the constitutionality of segregation. After Martin Luther King, Jr. was chosen to be the leader of the bus boycott in Montgomery, Rosa Parks got heavily involved with civil rights.

Three important people come to mind as important people in the US civil rights movement. Sadly both of them were assassinated. The men were Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers. Also, Rosa Parks also was an important figure.

The 19th Amendment gave women suffrage, or, the legal right to vote.

Mass Action was born out of the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1957 (instigated by Rosa Parks and the NAACP), which contributed to the growth. Out of the MBB, Martin Luther King arose as a prominent leader, which also contributed. MLK gained white and black support, and targeted mainly souther christians. Later, Malcolm X arose from the Nation of Islam, but was more radical and into Black Power. Malcolm X reached out to those that MLK could not - mainly Nothern Ghetto blacks.

The Dawes Act was enacted on February 8, 1887 regarding the distribution of land to Native Americans in Oklahoma. Named after its sponsor, U.S. Senator Henry L. Dawes of Massachusetts, the act was amended in 1891 and again in 1906 by the Burke Act. The act remained in effect until 1934. * Section One authorizes the President to survey Native American tribal areas and divide the arable land into sections for the individual. It says that a Native American family may receive 160 acres (0.65 km2) if they are to farm, 80 acres (320,000 m2) if they are to raise cattle and 40 acres (160,000 m2) for any normal living purposes. * Section Two states that each Native American will choose his or her own allotment and the family will choose for each minor child. The Native American agent will choose for orphan children. * Section Three requires the U.S. American agent to certify each allotment and provide two copies of the certification to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs one to be kept in the Indian Office and the other to be transmitted to the United States Department of the Interior (Secretary of the Interior) for his action, and to be sent to the General Land Office. * Section Four provides that Native Americans not residing on their reservation and Native Americans without reservations will receive the equal allotment. * Section Five provides that a Secretary of the Interior will hold the allotments "in trust" for 25 years. At that time, the title will belong to the allotment holder or heirs. It also allows the Secretary to negotiate under existing treaties for the land not allotted to be purchased on "terms and conditions as shall be considered just and equitable between the United States and said tribe of Indians." * Section Six states that upon completion of the land patent process, the allotment holder will become a United States citizen and "be entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of such citizens". * Section Seven addresses water rights on irrigated land. * Section Eight exempts the Five Civilized Tribes and several others from the act. * Section Nine appropriates the funds to carry out the act. * Section Ten asserts the Power of Eminent Domain of the Congress over the allotments. * Section Eleven contains a provision for the Southern Ute Native Americans that they could move from their present reservation in Southwestern Colorado to a new reservation if a majority of the adult male members wanted so.
