...American History Essence Harden 5/2/00 African-American Civil Rights “Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation.” –Coretta Scott King, page666 The 1960’s were a time of great turmoil in America and throughout the world. One of the main topics that arouse was black civil rights. In my essay I plan to compare the difference of opinion between these particular writers and directors, towards racism and the civil rights movement in the 1960’s The movement truly got underway with civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King jr. and Malcolm X in the early 1960’s. Students who wanted to bolt on the equality and protest bandwagon quickly followed. Most of the students went to the Southern states (Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, etc.), to stop the racism and hate crimes. The truth of the matter is that the violence and abhorrence would get worse before it got better. The Klan became stronger and more violent, committing many more lynching and gruesome murders. Bit by bit most of the Caucasian Americans came around to the idea of integration, and did not believe that the African Americans as a ‘threat’ anymore. The only reason that this great monumental change occurred was because of the great leadership of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King jr., and not to mention the thousands of other less famous civil rights leaders, that worked to change the views of their community. There also where lobbyist and protesters that risked there...

...Martin & Malcolm & America In this paper, there will be a primary focus on two of the most prominent leaders during the civil rights era. These two leaders are Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The paper will discuss how these extraordinary men made their phenomenal contributions to America by offering to bring about their own political, racial, and social views that were affecting the people of color. Their ability to voice their strong opinions about the injustices that were taking place among African Americans and the oppositions that were before them gave them the durability to prolong the fight for freedom and justice. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X were both men of purpose, dignity, and pride. The ongoing effort they gave for the people and to the people helped them to earn the respect that has followed them for decades. For that reason, this paper will reflect the ways in which both men contributed to the African American culture and the shaping of America in an effort to bring about a change that was needed to move forward. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X had different political philosophies; however, they both went about using different methods to campaign for civil rights. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a champion of non-violent protests and peace marches. His speeches entranced both blacks and whites into action for the civil rights movement. MLK knew that if the blacks worked for peace, peacefully, then equality was inevitable. “What they...

...African Americans are disadvantaged throughout time. From the terrible establishment of slavery to being discriminated against they have been marginalized. However, there are people that have fought for the rights of African Americans in the United States, and there have been many court cases that have helped decide the fate of African Americans in society. I do not know where African Americans would be today if those brave people did not stand up for the rights of African Americans. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. He stood up for the rights of his fellow African Americans, and it ended up putting his own life in danger. With his courageousness, and vision he helped advance the African American community in society. African Americans were used as slaves for much of early American history. Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation finally set them free on January 1, 1863. However, just because they were set free did not mean they were equal. Abraham Lincoln did not agree with the institution of slavery for different reasons than most people. He did not necessarily think they were equal to their white counterparts, but he thought freeing the slaves would help crush the south during the civil. Freeing the slaves in the south would effectively crush their economy and infrastructure. Their society’s base was the hard would of the slaves, and without the hard work of the slaves the society would crumble. White people would have to do the work they only saw fit for an underappreciated...

...------------------------------------------------- AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Civil Rights Movement Deyana Faraj On the 4th of July 1776, 56 delegates to the Continental Congress signed a document that would not only declare independence of America from British colonial power but less than 200 years later, become the backbone of a new established America where the walls of discrimination and segregation would finally begin to deteriorate. The Declaration of Independence is a powerful document that has led to the development of equal rights and social justice within societies on a world context. More specifically, principles in this document were instrumental when argued by African American Civil Rights leaders in achieving equality and abolishing racial segregation and discrimination against African- Americans in the United States, during the African American Civil Rights Movement (1954-1968). Before the American Civil Rights Movement, laws known as Jim Crow laws had forced racial segregation of facilities and the prohibition of intermarriage. These laws were similar to the apartheid legislation and it became the law mainly in the south of America. Where there is inequality and injustice within a government, the people of the nation demand change. Since the Jim Crow laws were enacted, the laws that mandated racial segregation in public areas and the prohibition of intermarriage in the Southern United States were socially and morally unjust and this fuelled...

...have been many changes socially and physically. In the 1960’s the civil rights movement was significant for the equality of people. After the abolition of slavery in 1853, there had been a continuous conflict between the races of people who lived in the United States. In the United States there have been and still are many hate groups. Many think that after the civil rights movement African Americans and whites people got along perfectly; however, there are many stories on how white people have been disgracing African Americans. There were many types of protesting during this time. Some protest involved violent and some involved non-violent protesting. Many influential people were here at the time such as: Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. There were also many hate groups at the time that tried to erase the African American population. During this time there were many rights that were violated during the civil rights movement. Many amendments were also made to stop the segregation such as the 14th and 15th amendment. The civil rights movement was a mass protest movement against racial segregation and discrimination in the southern United States that came to national prominence during the mid-1950s. This was in the roots of centuries-long efforts of African slaves. (Carson, 2015) The south was worse than the north about how this. The civil rights movement was about of the Jim Crow laws. These laws gave certain restrictions to African Americans. These laws segregated...

...Acto de Reunión del Patronato de la Fundación Universidad Empresa de la Universitat Jaume I de Castellón (20 de junio de 2012) Buenas días a todos, En primer lugar, quiero agradecer a Don Rafael Benavent Presidente de la Fundación Universidad Empresa y Presidente del Consejo Social de la Univesitat Jaume I que me haya invitado a este acto de Reunión del Patronato de la Fundación Universidad Empresa. Es especialmente satisfactorio que una personalidad de la categoría de Don Rafael, que es, sin duda alguna, un líder inspirador y gran gestor de personas, haya contado conmigo para estar hoy aquí. También quiero dar las gracias a Don Cipriano de Mesa Gerente de la Fundación Universidad Empresa, por todo su apoyo para estar aquí hoy entre ustedes. Actualmente vivimos en una realidad compleja, dinámica, y globalizada, llena de incertidumbres y de retos. Estamos continuamente escuchando la palabra crisis, en un ambiente pesimista y derrotista. Nos levantamos con la prima de riesgo, y nos acostamos con rescates. Parece que no controlamos nada de lo que ocurre, que no podemos hacer nada en esta situación, y que vamos a la deriva arrastrados por los acontecimientos. Sentimos que es una situación límite. En este contexto, déjenme que les hable de un hecho singular. En agosto de 1913 una expedición canadiense dirigida por el explorador Stefansson salió en el Karluk para explorar la parte más septentrional de Canada y el Polo Norte. Con unos meses de diferencia, en diciembre...

...Earl Warren was a Supreme Court judge who was a republican and became more liberal with time. He influenced America's political development with various liberal Supreme Court decisions as Chief Justice. Such as in Gideon v. Wainwright, which ruled that the state's are required to "provide counsel in criminal cases to represent defendants who are unable to afford to pay their own attorneys" under the 6th amendment. He also heavily influenced America with his decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In the Brown case the court decision established that its unconstitutional to have separate schools for black and white students. In Miranda v. Arizona, Warren's decision made a defendants statement only admissible in court if they'd been...

...life of violence and discriminatory acts against her people. She was captivated, she saw a purpose in her surroundings to make an impact. As others began to see Parks movement, they began tagging along and spreading the word. Boycotts started as soon as she was arrested. African Americans from Montgomery and other races who felt sympathy promoted and organized a boycott of the city bus line that went on for 381 days. All of it was to show they were not to take anymore racism. The honesty and integrity everyone saw in Mrs. Parks was intimidating and powerful. She was seen as the symbol of dignity and strength to end segregation. The civil rights movement received much attention thanks to “ the mother of the civil rights movement”. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the spokesperson for the bus boycott that taught non violence to all participants. Others took shape throughout the country and the south. They took form at swim-ins, eat-ins, and similar things. Thousands joined the protest to demand equal rights. United and standing for something they believe in was much more powerful than anything those racist can overcome.Rosa Parks is a catalyst for change because she took the first step into something huge which impacted our history in a tremendous way. She might not have been able to do it all by herself, but it does not just take one person to make a change. She was the one step multiple people needed, but didn't take because they were scared, to have a voice. Rosa Parks is heard of...

...Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. King was a Baptist minister and a social activist who played a major role as being a leader of the Civil Rights Movement. He had a huge impact on race relations in the United States during the mid-1950s and fought for equal freedoms for blacks and whites. Dr. King headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, created many inspirational speeches, and played a great role in ending the legal segregation of African-American citizens in the United States. He also helped create the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and many other awards and honors for his leadership actions. On April 4, 1968, just after 6 p.m., Martin Luther King Jr. was fatally shot and killed. The civil rights leader was in Memphis, Tennessee to support a sanitation workers’ strike. At the time, Dr. King was standing on the balcony just outside his second-story room at the Lorraine Motel. He was just about to leave for dinner when a sniper’s bullet struck him in the jaw and hit his spinal cord. Martin Luther King Jr. was pronounced dead at 39 years old after his arrival at the Memphis hospital....

...President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech address the theme of American democracy in many ways. Some similar ways, but others different. In both speeches they talk about how everyone needs to be equal, and treated fairly. Not everything in the two speeches are the same, but very similar. They both just want equality, and fairness between all. No matter what skin color, hair color, eyes. No matter what clothes you wear. We are all equal, and that's what everyone needs to know. That was the point of the two speeches. To give people hope, and motivation during hard times. I defiantly think that President Lincoln's speech was more to empower everyone, and make them feel less helpless. But,...

...Over the years, I have attended many college football games in which the marching bands live performances are the main event, especially at predominately African-American Colleges & Universities where the competition is fierce. As an African-American man, my connection with these marching bands is meaningful because each performance is strongly influenced by our culture, which is a reminder for me how integrated we are into the American culture; however, we do not receive the recognition that we deserve. Nevertheless, the University of Texas at San Antonio Spirit of San Antonio (SOSA) Marching Band is on their own quest in becoming one of the nation’s most recognized marching bands. Over the past three months, as a UTSA football player, I have attended thus far five home football games in which the SOSA Marching Band, along with UTSA dancers performed at a competitive level. Absolutely nothing makes the SOSA Marching Band sound better, tighter and more professional is the dynamic beginning, the smooth transitions and the powerful but abrupt ending. This was definitely the case during the Selena tribute, which the band performed with great respect and passion for the Tejano singer. Like all of the band’s performances, the manipulation of time, space and energy was precisely as directed by the UTSA Band Director, which demonstrated a strong and discipline team. As a result, the SOSA Marching Band delivered pitched perfect effortless performance during the Selena tribute....

...Every day there are new obstacles that get in the way of life; whether they’re political, economic, educational, familial, or societal. In the book, Hidden Figures, a nonfictional narrative written by Margot Lee Shetterly, Shetterly describes the lives of four women and other African-Americans, and the obstacles they had to overcome growing up as African-Americans in Hampton Virginia during the early to late 1900’s. While those women had many amazing personality traits and characteristics that helped them overcome many obstacles, perseverance was the most dominant trait that allowed them to overcome obstacles in their lives, such as familial, societal, and political. There are many obstacles in society that can be overcome, or at least improved, by perseverance. Perseverance helped many African Americans, overcome many societal problems. One way the African Americans persevered through societal problems was through non-violent sit-ins. One quote from Hidden Figures states, “The students called their protests ‘sit-downs’ or ‘sit-ins.’ Sometimes, the police arrested the protesters and took them off to jail. The prison sentences that followed didn’t discourage the activists. They did not intend to back down until they had defeated segregation.” The definition of perseverance, “steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success,” is shown completely through the sit-in protests. The African Americans sat in shops/cafes for hours on end, and even got...
