It helped all the black people get freedom!

**Not only did the CRM help black people, it helped other disenfranchised groups obtain various rights, most notably women (of all races). Other subsequent movements were inspired by the American CRM.

What did the Civil Rights Act of 1957 do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Do the police have to read you your Miranda Rights when they put you in handcuffs and take you to jail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not necessarily A police officer need only advise you of your Miranda rights if you are "A" in custody and "B" prior to asking you any questions that may solicit incriminating responses. It is a misconception that police officers must advise you as soon as you are placed in handcuffs. They have to be questioning a person in custody before Miranda applies.

Why is same-sex marriage a civil right?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, same-sex couples who live in states where same-sex marriage is not permitted are the ones that seek to obtain civil unions, assuming civil unions are legal where they live. Whatever the legal term used to describe the relationship, the motivation for seeking legal recognition is the same: love, commitment to monogamy, desire or need for legal benefits, desire to form a family.

How is racism a violation of human rights?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the broadest sense, it is a human rights violation not to treat a human being like a human being. Racism is the intentional relegation of an ethnic community to a sub-human state, and thus is not, eo ipso, a "violation" of human rights, but it *is* indicative of an attitude which would *want* to violate human rights.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of ethnic diversity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well there are several disadvantages and critique about the praised diversity in corporations.

1) Reversed discrimination - basically means that the 'regular and indiverse' people who might be more professional are not hired in favor of a person of a minority of an ethnic group, gender, age or sexual orientation.

2) People with significantly different backgrounds might have cultural or other barriers to co-work efficiently

3) Some critics argue that diversity management programs nowadays are ran in order to achieve a better reputation or financial goals, forsaking the basic aim - social fairness

4) Lastly there is almost no empirical evidence of the usefulness for the company of implementing diversity, just theoretical, arguments of necessity.

Of course You can make a much bigger list of advantages, appealing to human rights and social equality, but some of the specific advantages of diversity are:

Better idea generating

Understanding of many cultures and social groups

Diversity might create an internal education and development of employees among colleagues

An image of a 'caring' company

Well this answer might be useful if you need an answer linked with HRM or management, because the word diversity can have several meanings.

I hope I was useful, 'd love to receive feedback :)
