Presentation transcript:

The Civil Rights movement kicks off What started with Brown v. Board of Education leads to Alabama and this young guy… you may have heard of him.

Protesting unfair Bus laws Before Busses were segregated in Montgomery Then on December 1st, 1955 Rosa parks changes this She had been active in the Alabama chapter of the NAACP Leaders had been looking for a case to fight segregation and used rosa park’s stand as their own

This led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott On December 5th, 90% of African Americans who usually rode the bus honored the boycott The lead of the Boycott was Martin Luther King Jr. To make it work, organized carpools, walked, taxis, hitchhiked, rode bicycles, or just walked.

A little background on young MLK 26 years old when chosen to lead the Boycott A Pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, from Atlanta, GA Earned his Ph. D. from Boston University Lived in Montgomery for two years before the Boycott Because of it’s success… he became the leader of the Civil Rights movement

African American Churches jump in MLK worked with other churches to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference There, they pledged to use nonviolent resistance This is rooted in the teachings of the Bible.

Which then lead to the Little Rock 9 Was the first school, Central High School, to integrate in Little Rock The Governor declared he would not support desegregation… sigh so he ordered troops to not allow them to enter the building So… Eisenhower stepped in and went military on them with Executive Order 10730

James Meredith enrolls at Ole Miss When he was rejected… a Korean War Veteran, he turned to the NAACP for help The Governor vowed that no black student would attend while he was in office When JFK intervened, he had Meredith snuck on campus in 1962 which led to riots So… JFK sent troops to protect him and bring peace… which worked, but cost the democrats the south

Why the confederate flag image? “Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.” Alexander H. Stephens “Corner Stone Speech” Savannah Georgia 1861
