Slide 9 - Tekstslide

1. What did the Jim Crow laws entail? 
Jim Crow laws were laws in the South based on race. They enforced segregation between white people and black people in public places such as schools, transportation, restrooms, and restaurants. They also made it difficult for black people to vote.

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

2. Why were they called Jim Crow?
The name "Jim Crow" comes from an African-American
    character in a song from 1832. After the song came out, the term "Jim Crow" was often used to refer to African-Americans and soon the segregation laws became known as "Jim Crow" laws.



Slide 11 - Tekstslide

3. In general, what is meant by civil rights?
a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to gain equal rights under the law in the United States

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

4. According to the website, why is the history of black Americans and their strife for civil rights significant to the history of the United States?
Because it was symbolic of the fight for rights for all people.
As well, such movements have not only secured citizenship rights for blacks but have also redefined prevailing
conceptions of the nature of civil rights and the role of government in protecting these rights.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

5. According to the website, even though the government had passed laws in favor of desegregation, why was “black activism” still necessary?
Even after the Supreme Court declared that public school segregation was unconstitutional, black activism was necessary to compel the federal government to
implement the decision and extend its principles to all areas of public life rather than simply in schools.

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

6. Explain the significance of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
This legislation outlawed segregation in public facilities and racial discrimination in employment and education. In addition to blacks, women and other victims of discrimination benefited from the act.

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

7. What events brought about the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
The Birmingham Campaign and the Match on Washington.

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

8. What is “Bloody Sunday”? Explain its significance
On March 7 a planned march from Selma to the state capitol in Montgomery ended almost before it began at Pettus Bridge on the outskirts of Selma, when mounted police using tear gas and wielding clubs attacked the protesters. News accounts of “Bloody Sunday” brought hundreds of civil rights sympathizers to Selma. Many demonstrators were determined to
mobilize another march, and activists challenged King to defy a court order forbidding such marches. 

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

9. What does the abbreviation NAACP stand for and when was the NAACP set up?
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was set up in 1909. They funded lawyers for black people who were treated very badly by the courts.

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

10. When was the Black Panther Party (BPP) set up and what was its aim?
In 1966, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (BPP) was formed in Oakland, California. Along with Malcolm X, the BPP represented strands of civil rights activism that drew attention to experiences of racial inequality happening in the cities of the north and California. Martin Luther King until 1968 had largely focused on southern issues.

Slide 19 - Tekstslide

11. When did segregation in the US army end?
In the Second World War, black Americans fought for the USA. In 1948, the US military finally allowed black and white soldiers to serve next to each other. However, the war caused many black Americans to question why they would fight overseas against a racist power like Nazi Germany for freedoms they did not enjoy at home in the USA.

Slide 20 - Tekstslide

12. Who was Malcolm X?
13. Why did Malcolm X criticize Martin Luther King Jr. and the mainstream Civil Rights Movement?

Malcolm X was a minister, human rights activist and prominent Black nationalist leader who served as a spokesman for the Nation of Islam during the 1950s and 1960s. A naturally gifted orator, Malcolm X exhorted Black people to cast off the shackles of racism "by any means necessary," including violence.

By the early 1960s, Malcolm X had emerged as a leading voice of a radicalized wing of the civil rights movement, presenting a dramatic alternative to Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a racially-integrated society achieved by peaceful means.

The poem celebrates the U.S. not as a "perfect union," but as a country that has the grit to struggle with its all-too-real problems. Progress, the poem argues, doesn't happen all at once: it's a slow and sometimes painful "climb" up the "hill" of justice, a climb that takes patience and humility.
