3. Individuals
I can examine the impact of individuals on the Civil Rights movement and their perspectives on change.

4. Stokely Carmichael
Stokely Carmichael joined the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960 after it was formed in April of that year and took part in the Freedom Rides in 1961.
By 1963, Carmichael began to call for stronger action against the racism and violence experienced by black people in the south.
Carmichael believed that black people needed to take control of their own future by using their right to vote.

5. Rosa Parks
Event
Park’s actions sparked a boycott (avoidance) of buses in Montgomery, Alabama by the African American population.
Impact
The courts decided that the segregated nature of Montgomery’s buses was unconstitutional and ordered that they be desegregated.

In 1964, working with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Hamer helped organize the 1964 Freedom Summer African-American voter registration drive in her native Mississippi.

7. MLK Jr. and Malcolm X

8. Groups
I can examine the goals, strategies, and major contributions of groups during the Civil Rights movement.

9. SNCC Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
Began as an interracial group advocating nonviolence.
The philosophy of nonviolence switched to one of greater militancy after the mid-1960s and advocated to the “Black Power” movement.
SNCC strengthened its efforts in community organization and supported Freedom Rides in 1961, along with the March on Washington in 1963, and agitated for the Civil Rights Act (1964).

10. NAACP
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s echoed the NAACP's goals, but leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, felt that direct action was needed to obtain them.
The NAACP even posted bail for hundreds of Freedom Riders in the ‘60s who had traveled to Mississippi to register black voters and challenge Jim Crow policies.

11. SCLC
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was established in 1957, to coordinate the action of local protest groups throughout the South. Under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., the organization drew on the power and independence of black churches to support its activities.
SCLC didn’t seek individual member. It differed from organizations such as the SNCC and NAACP in that it operated as an umbrella organization of affiliates.
‘‘This conference is called because we have no moral choice, before God, but to delve deeper into the struggle—and to do so with greater reliance on non-violence and with greater unity, coordination, sharing, and Christian understanding’’ –MLK Jr.
