president obama had a powerful speech.
martin luther king jr had a march on washington and he also had a very powerful speech named 'i have a dream' he also spoke during the civil rights movements because he was a very knowledgeable speaker.
brown vs bored of education was about how an afican american wannted to go to school. but had to walk ten blocks just to go to school. her dad didn't like that . because there was an all white school two block down. as time went on her dad brouht it to Supreme Court , and thurgood marshall got invold. after eveerything got figured out. elibeth was able to go to the all white school, if u look at today in time kids ca n go to school without feeling that people don't like them.over all it made a big inpact in america history which is good.
m.l.k. JR was an awsome speaker.and many young people listen to what he had to say. he was young himself but people still listened to what the he had to say,between him and rosa parks they both made a big inpact in people life..though every good thing has to come to an end. m.l.k. Jr got assinted on april 6th 1948
civil rights act was an idea John F. Kennedy came up with to state that weather your black or white you have a chance of getting a job and a good education. j.f.k. had brought that bill to the congress,but before they could past it. J.F.K. was assassinated,the vice president was Lyndon Baines Johnson,and he toke over the case. the congress toke a vote on it and it passed with 73 out of the 27 people they needed to sign it,but once it passed there were still some issue like everyone had to provide equal employment opportunities, for everyone,and if they found out that you were not doing that then the federal funds could be cut. the Civil right act also help african-american vote in the deep south,over all i think it was a good idea to pass this bill.
plessy vs ferugson. was about how black and white people should have equal rights. but in mississippi .they didn't look at it that way. a man by the name of Homer Plessy was sent to jail for sitting on in the white car part of a train.though because he was one-eight black and seven-eight white. they trail him as black so he toke it to court and told the judge that it is breaking the Fourteenth amendment. which states the Separate Car Act violated.which ment that the train was equal for everyone but just like the bus,there was a part for black's and another for white. after Homr plessy was found guity. he brought this to the Supreme Court,and was still found guilty. in the end he didn't go to jail.
black power movement. made a turning point,so that african-american and whites could have a realtaionship, though many people didn't like the idea of african-american and whites being together. the NAACP and SCLC worked with african-american and white to have a positive out-look on his to show people it was ok for african-americans and whites to be together. martin luther king also played a part in this, so that there was no violent,for people who wanted to be together but were of different color.if you look at today in society,things have changed, you see afrian-americans and whites having family's,though i bet there is still people in today world who don't agree with that.
thurgood marshall played a part in the NAACP he also worked with MLK. JR,on it. he also played a part with the brown vs borad of education destion.. he made an inpact on young african-americans life,and he told them that they could do something if they set there mind to it. over all i feel that thurgood marshall had a small inpact in the way things are run in today in society.but overall he made a good change.
freedom riders,were african-americans and white people,who didn't ride the bus after the jim crow law was put into affect.
little rock nine,out of those nine kids only one graduate from Central High School,his name was Ernest Green. the story plays out like this.thier were nne kids and they were all african-americans,they wanted to go to a school closer to were they lived, so all nine of them went to central H.S. but the President t the time was Eisenhower and he had to send the Airborne Division. to watch these kids.because the white people didn't want them to go to school there which,after the brown vs. bored of education,they didn't have a choice those kids could go there now. the downfall was that each day they got made fun of. just for being africa-american's in an all white school. this toke place in Arkansas. the overall out come of this was that all nine ended up finishing there school time there,they all have careers now,in some kind of major. i think those kids had a right to stand up in what they believe in,and that what they did with their parents right beside them
