One key takeaway I found was that every single movement was fighting to secure equal rights. Some of the example are: fighting against sex discrimination, breaking down social barriers, combat racism, and guaranteeing equal labor. -Meredith Friess

# data[].attributes.body
I would create a memorial for Women's civil rights. It would be a building with pictures of women who helped fight for against sex discrimination. It would also include description of each women and what they did. Lastly it would have ways that you can help support women's rights. -Meredith Friess

# data[].attributes.body
I think the people with disabilities have been ignored. Newer building are built so everyone can access them but we ignore older building and often don't update them. People with disabilities are often told "you just won't be able to do that". Instead we should be figuring out ways and solutions so they can experience the same as everyone else -Meredith Friess

If I were to make a memorial for the LGBTQIA+ movement I would want to make a memorial for Harvey Milk. I would like to make a Museum featuring different parts of Milks past. Additionally I would want to show the Movie Milk by Dustin Lance Black in the museum. It is a very educational movie for younger audiences especially and I think that it would help people to look at LGBTQ+ history.

One key take away that I had was that each of the different civil rights movements had organizations supporting what they were fighting for, another take away that I had was that each of these groups were fighting for something for a certain group or minority to help gain equal rights on the matter that they were fighting for.
- Autumn Hart

# data[].attributes.body
I think that many movements have been looked over for various reasons. The main reason that these movements existed in the first place is that they are minorities. People as a whole don't start acting completely different around people of a certain group just because there was a law passed. Which is really sad but true for both the disability and the LGBTQIA+ movement. Sadly in our current society time and hard work on the part of everyone involved is how we gain more acceptance. If you can't accept someone you are not very likely to teach about them either. This has brought us to the point where we have to learn a lot of these things on our own rather than in classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a lot of these go unrecognized because of how the US government reacted to people fighting for change. For example when Native Americans were helping fight for their own civil rights and the US rejected their demands of funding education and cultural centers the Native Americans occupied the offices at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington DC the government said they would approve their requests if they left soon after this the President rejected their requests once again. The government doesn't want everyone to know how they poorly handled the civil rights activists and movements
- Autumn Hart

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of these civil rights movements started with one thing. That thing is otherness. Often including violence. If you look at the Black, women's rights, or the LGBTQ+ rights movement you can see that they all started with otherness. The people in these communities were alienated to the point that they could not live a normal life. They all started to fight back. They may have been small and they may have been big but together they brought on change. It all comes back to the word minority. Minorities aren't necessarily the group with less people. They are the group that is treated differently or often worse than others. An example of this is Women. Women are in the majority of the world but they are a minority.

# data[].attributes.body
Some inspirations were very clear and direct, such as the Gray Panthers, an elderly civil rights group, imitating the name of the Black Panthers. In Seattle a group of young Japanese Americans organized a day of remembrance inspired by the black power movement. Some inspirations might have been not as closely connected, such as many civil rights movements being non-violent was likely inspired by the non-violent leaders of the Black Power movement.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that these movements have been silenced by the U.S government because they don't want to accept the real truth. The real truth is that for hundreds of years America has had many instances where other people feel excluded and not welcomed. A lot of the time they get their rights and possessions taken from them. For example Native Americans have had their land taken from them. A group called Indians of All Tribes made a voice for themselves and took over Alcatraz island, they wanted their land back and funding for cultural and educational centers. They also walked many miles to D.C to spread the word that they wanted their land and rights. I think the only reason the government gave back land and gave rights to Native Americans is because they just wanted to make the american people happy. They also want to teach kids that they did the right thing in giving back their possessions instead of teaching kids that they did many terrible things.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a shared experience is that a lot of these civil rights groups battled issues with the government and their support or battled issues with the government enforcing the laws that they passed in congress. For example in 1973 congress passed the Rehabilitation act that people with a disability were no longer allowed to be excluded participation based solely on the fact of their disability, the congress passed this law but it took the government four years to enforce this law. Another example of this is when the government refused to provide funding for native American education and cultural centers  and during a protest in South Dakota the FBI raided and killed two people, this was just one of this movements struggles with the government.

A commonly shared circumstance that prompted multiple civil rights movements is workers rights/mistreatment in the workplace. Whether its fighting for equal pay in the case of Women's Rights or fighting for higher wages, benefits, and unionization like in the Latinx and Chicano Rights movement, fighting inequalities in the workplace has played a big role in bringing people together in support of these movements.

# data[].attributes.body
A common theme was that many people from different groups thought that they were being isolated from the rest of city, or moved to the side as though they weren't important. Such as in the elderly civil rights movements one of their main points was that they felt as though they were being forgotten and that they wanted better health care and to work longer, to actually be able to live in retirement.

# data[].attributes.body
A key takeaway I had after reading all these texts was the same type of people getting in the way of all these "minorities" gaining equality. It usually was straight, white, and most of the time christian men. I noticed this especially in women civil rights because the men didn't think that they deserved the pay that they got. A lot of the "minorities" tended to stick with each other and sometimes help each other out because they are in similar positions.

If I were to create a memorial for any one of these activists, I would create a memorial for Ed Roberts. He was a student at UC Berkeley who had a disability. At the time, many people with disabilities were often left out from opportunities and excluded from living their lives. Ed Roberts worked to change this. On his memorial, I would include information about how his difficult experience helped pave the way for future students. -Teia Gipp

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that all of these movements were aiming to level the playing field. All of these movements started because there was inequality in some way. For example, older Americans started to speak up because there was discrimination and ageism against older people. I also noticed this with Americans with disabilities. Their playing field wasn't level, but they could do some things about it, like adding ramps for physically disabled people. All of these groups worked in tiny steps to fight for their equality. -Teia Gipp

I think some of the shared experiences and circumstances that prompted different civil rights movements tended to be other groups like the "majority" thinking they are better then the "minorities" with out reason; therefore often causing unfair working conditions, lower pay, laws discriminating people with different looks, etc. For example women were fighting for equal pay and most men were fighting against it because they assumed without reason that women couldn't do jobs as well. Another example is in the Asian american civil rights movement when they got unfair working conditions and unfair pay just because majorities didn't think they could do as good a job as white men without ever giving them a chance to show them that they are just as capable.
-Peace Naslund

# data[].attributes.body
One key takeaway that I had was that all of these groups were basically striving for the rights that a white, straight, young man without a disability would have. I find it interesting how this demographic sets the benchmark for a lot of these movements. For example, the women's rights movement used the pay gap as a method of measurement, and white, straight, young men were setting the bar, as they were for most of these movements.

# data[].attributes.body
One prominent form of protest that was inspired form the Black Power movement was sharing stories of hardship with others publicly. This was practiced by Asian Americans in 1978, when the first Dayof Remembrance was held. Events like these promote the idea of "reclaiming the past and make it our own". -Mae Vu

# data[].attributes.body
One key take away that I had, was that every Civil Rights movement had many different organizations pushing for something to change. I think this is super helpful because the more organizations filled with people that care for the movement the better. It tells the government that the problem needs to change and many people stand for changing the problem.
- Jackson Poole

bad work areas and all had a lot of violence and they all protest of something similar

# data[].attributes.body
They would use tactics that would get the attention of higher ups specifically. They would strike and nearly 50,000 women marched in New York which was similar to when MLK joined forces with other groups to have big impact on the city and how it would function on the day of the strikes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the reason many of these movements have gone unrecognized or unknown in society is because the government has done a lot to make it this way. The people in government positions tend to not be in these minority groups so they often don't care or try to get these minorities justice and they don't want to look bad so most of the time they only help minorities enough so that they don't look as bad and these problems can go more unrecognized and unknown. For example I think when Native Americans advocated to get their land backs they only got it to prevent looking bad and making it an even bigger deal.
-Peace Naslund

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main takeaway I got was how they didn’t give up until they achieved a final goal. They would sacrifice and stand by eachother until they reached peace in the community. If one of the people in the protests were knocked down they would stand with them until they got back up. We noticed this in every movement and how they learned from other movements.

# data[].attributes.body
One key takeaway that i found was that the america runs on minorities doing the manual labor jobs, and when they stop doing that, they can shift things in their favor.  One good example of this is the Latinx farm workers making up the majority of the UFW, so when they went on hunger strike, their employers were forced to provide them with better conditions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main reason they go unnoticed is because of the government. They try to make it seem like it didn’t affect them and they tried to keep it under wraps. Although we are learning about it right now I believe many kids in the US don’t know about any of these protests. Another reason I think many kids don’t know about it is because they’re parents and teachers don’t want them to be exposed to this information even though everyone should know about the injustice all these groups faced in the upcoming of their rights.

# data[].attributes.body
Poor working conditions and/or low pay was a common reason for civil rights movements to start. One example is the UFW (united farm workers) striking against grape growers by hunger striking for better pay.

# data[].attributes.body
One key takeaway for me is how important young people, especially students, were in progressing a lot of these movements. College students were often on the cutting edge of progress, and played key roles in several Civil Rights Movements. One example is the thousands of college students who participated in diner sit-ins across the country, forcing businesses to integrate with their persistence. Another example is how Asian American students fought for equal rights through organized student walk-outs and advocated for more education on Asian American history.

# data[].attributes.body
I would make a monument for the Latino Americans because in my opinion they are still facing the most systematic oppression at least in the workplace. I would create a monument of hand holding a bunch of grapes to symbolize the grape farmers that were one of the first to do anything about the low pay and poor working conditions. To this day many Latinos/Latinas are working the hard manual labor jobs and barely getting by, with little opportunity to do more.

# data[].attributes.body
I would make a monument on LGBTQIA+. I feel like everyone should be able to have any relationship with anyone they want.  I don't think people's personal lives should be controlled. My mural would be a group of protesters holding and waving the LGBTQIA+ flag, they would be ripping a paper that says Anti-Homosexual Laws. They would be cheering and celebrating.
- Jackson Poole

Each of these very separate groups found themselves to be virtually powerless against discrimination. They chose to fight for their rights and privilege.

# data[].attributes.body
I would create a memorial that focuses on little-known or misrepresented aspects of the specific movement. For example, I would try to bring more attention to the social and community service efforts of the Black Panther party.

# data[].attributes.body
In many cases, it's necessary to fight back against oppressors and to relentlessly push forwards. Rights and privilege aren't always a given in this society, and sometimes action must be taken to elevate yourself or your group.

Because of the black civil rights movement people with disabilities felt empowered and capable of making their own change.  They set up organizations to provide education and other services to those that need them. This is similar to the lunch programs started by the black panthers and the head start programs.  In 1973 a law was passed required people with disabilities to be included but it took until 1977 to be implemented when protesters in wheelchairs took over the Department of Health,

Education, and Welfare. This echos the peaceful protests and sit ins from the black civil rights movements. - Alba Madden

# data[].attributes.body
This movement started because people with disabilities were not being granted the care that they needed and access to normal settings like school and work. They fought for ramps and curb cuts to make campus more accessible for wheelchairs. Without these things they would have to find an alternate route to get places making them late or even possibly injuring themselves and their might be places they could not even enter.  20% of Americans have some type of disability but still 30% of people with disabilities are unemployed - Alba Madden

Many of the civil rights movement in the reading were mentioned as minorities and faced discrimination which often lead to violence. An example of violence was in Minneapolis where many Native Americans were arrested for false charges and were harassed by officers. They also experienced less wages than white men including women.

One key takeaway I found in the reading was how each movement often experiences the same harsh conditions and fights for the same rights that white men and women had. These movements also wanted to end discrimination across the nation and some demanded ethnic studies of their culture and ethnicity.

There have been a number of shared experiences and circumstances that prompted different civil rights movements, including groups like the "majority" thinking that they were better than the "minorities" without reason, leading to unfair working conditions, lower salaries, and laws that discriminate against people of different looks. Most men opposed equal pay because they assumed without reason that women couldn't do the jobs that men were doing. As with the Asian American civil rights movement, when majorities didn't think those people could do as well a job as white men without ever giving them a chance to prove otherwise, they received unfair working conditions and unfair pay. -Joe H.L.

I noticed, after reading multiple sources, that the movements still have unresolved problems. I think reading these sources shed light to the fact that there will always be some sort of issue within any and every community. I feel that recognizing how there will never be a perfect society where everyone agrees and feels they are treated equally is important. On the other hand there is also always a way to make a difference in a community and spread awareness around civil rights movements. For example, the Stonewall riot was a huge breakthrough for the LGBTQIA+ community but to this day the LGBTQIA+ community still faces major issues when it comes to equality. Since the stonewall riot there have been so many breakthroughs, this goes to show there is always gonna be another way to move towards equality.

If I were to create a “monument” for a civil rights movement I would focus on Women's rights. I would write a book consisting of a collection of poems inspired by different female leaders from the past and present. The book could also reference certain movements such as  women's fight for abortion and women's suffrage.

# data[].attributes.body
If not all, most civil rights movements have started due to mistreatment and/or equality. For example older Americans felt they were experiencing ageism so they spoke up. The disabled also faced many unfair circumstances such as being turned down by jobs because of their condition. They were deemed incapable and unsuitable to participate in certain aspects of society.

# data[].attributes.body
Black Civil Rights activists played a pivotal role in inspiring and influencing many civil rights movements, one of which being the Women's Civil Rights movement. The Black Civil Rights Movement demonstrated the power of grassroots organizing and community mobilization. Black activists, particularly women, worked tirelessly to organize local communities and build coalitions for social change. The Women's Rights Movement followed a similar approach by forming grassroots organizations, such as the National Organization for Women (NOW), and mobilizing women across the country to advocate for gender equality. The Women's Strike for Equality, organized by NOW, was able to assemble over 50,000 women who marched in New York City and 100,000 women nationwide to take part in the strike for Women's Voting Rights. Through the efforts of grassroots organizing and community mobilization, NOW was able to form the largest action for women's rights in American history.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Asian Americans and Latino/Chicano communities experienced socioeconomic disparities that limited their access to fair wages and job opportunities. Economic inequality fueled the need for civil rights movements to address systemic barriers. For example, The United Farm Workers (UFW) movement, led by figures like Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, fought for fair wages, better working conditions, and the rights of predominantly Latino/Chicano farmworkers. The movement highlighted the economic exploitation faced by agricultural workers and sought to address labor rights and social justice issues. Similarly, Asian American farm workers suffered the same socioeconomic issues. The civil rights efforts of these two minorities end up intersecting with Larry Itliong, one of the leaders of a largely Filipino farmworkers' union, and other Filipino activists joining forces with the Latinx and Chicano farmers to form the United Farm Workers. Filipino American farmworkers, in particular, made a crucial impact within the UFW. They played a pivotal role in initiating the Delano Grape Strike in 1965, which marked a turning point in the farmworker movement. Led by Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC), they successfully organized thousands of Filipino farmworkers to demand better wages and working conditions. The collaboration between Filipino American farmworkers and other communities laid the foundation for the formation of the UFW.

Asian Americans and Latinos/Chicanos both faced exploitation and harsh working conditions in the agricultural sector. They worked side by side in the fields, experiencing similar hardships, low wages, lack of labor protections, and unsafe working conditions. Sharing these struggles, both minorities were prompted to take action.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading about multiple civil rights movements, I noticed that civil rights movements often originate from the grassroots level, with individuals and communities organizing and mobilizing for change. It goes to show that ordinary people can make a profound impact by coming together, raising their voices, and challenging unjust systems and practices.
Examples of grassroots activism appear in the Disability Civil Rights Movement as well as the Women's Civil Rights Movement. In 1977, disability rights activists occupied federal buildings across the United States to protest the delay in implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibited discrimination based on disability. The sit-in, organized by organizations such as the American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit (ADAPT) and the American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities (ACCD), lasted for several weeks and ultimately led to the enforcement of Section 504. Similarly, the grassroots organizing efforts of the Women's Suffrage Movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were instrumental in securing women's right to vote. Suffragists organized rallies, marches, and public meetings, distributed literature, and engaged in civil disobedience to demand political equality. Grassroots organizations such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and the National Women's Party (NWP) played pivotal roles in mobilizing women across the country. Grassroots activism empowers individuals to take control of their own destinies and shape the narratives surrounding their rights and identities. It encourages people to recognize their agency and make their voices heard through collective action, giving them a sense of ownership over their struggle for justice. By many examples in history, I'd say that collective action is an extremely powerful tactic.

# data[].attributes.body
I think many of these movements remain unrecognized or unknown to US society because of the dominant narratives. Historical narratives are often shaped by those in power, who may prioritize certain events, figures, or perspectives over others. As we've learned in the past, patriotism plays a big factor in this. Dominant narratives shaped by patriotism may emphasize certain values and historical events that are considered beneficial to the national identity. This can lead to the promotion of a specific version of history or a selective interpretation of events that aligns with patriotic sentiments. Hence the omission or downplaying of civil rights movements that challenge existing power structures or present alternative narratives. The dominant historical narratives may focus on a limited set of movements or individuals, leaving others in the margins. For example, dominant narratives often neglect or misrepresent the struggles of indigenous peoples for their rights and self-determination. Since the beginning, Native Americans have experienced police and government harassment. In 1968, 10% of the population of Minneapolis was Native Americans. Still, Native Americans made up 70% of the prisoners in the city's jails. Majority of Native Americans lived in poverty, and faced greater economic hardship than any other ethnic group in the country in the 1960s. Unemployment of the indigenous peoples was 10 fold higher than the national average and was especially high on reservations. The average annual family income was $1,000 less than that of African Americans. Life expectancy was also much lower than the national average. This was the doing of the government yet that fact is not so much known. Historically, patriotism has often been intertwined with colonial narratives that promoted the dominance of settler societies over Indigenous communities. In the context of colonization, patriotism was often linked to the idea of manifest destiny or the belief in the superiority of the colonizing culture. This has prompted today's dominant narrative, which has caused the dispossession of Indigenous lands, forced assimilation, and erasure of Indigenous cultures. Indigenous rights movements are frequently overlooked or minimized in mainstream discourse, leading to limited public awareness and understanding. The dominant narrative may portray indigenous peoples as historical relics rather than contemporary communities that are actively engaged in ongoing struggles for land rights, cultural preservation, and self-governance. To protect patriotism, the struggles of minorities have been erased from the history books and hence remain unknown to US society.

Part of the reason other cultures and races said anything was because of the black power movement. People of all cultures and ethnicities saw them taking action because of all the injustice and false assumptions white people at the time made. It made everyone start to think about the way they were being treated. Everyone started making movements to protect each other and have pride in who they were and express that difference isn't an attack. People started fighting for their own rights and sharing their experiences with discrimination and racism. The black power movement wasn't just a black power movement it was an Equality movement for everyone. A wake up call. - Cale bartlett

Something everyone seemed to connect on was the injustice and discrimination it helped people wake up and realize how they were being treated wasn't right. People shared their experiences and it helped a lot of movement spread because it was something a lot of people could connect with and feel strongly about.

I don't think that movements are unrecognized. I think they get recognized and people get scared so they ignore it. People are scared of change and power so they steer the other way or try to fight against it.  The only reason we have these movements is due to the injustice, Latinx people couldn't even speak Spanish without being beaten and killed or being insulted in front of classmates or by classmates and teachers. People of color in general cant leave their homes or even be in them without people automatically feeling attacked and disgusted causing people to be severely hurt and killed.

If I were to create a monument it would be for the Chicano movement.
A giant poster or painting or the hardships people went through pictures of how people felt remembering that it's the injustice that made us powerful it made us stand up. It's okay to embrace your culture. I would want to be able to show everyone how the Latinx community worked from the ground up. Or like an open mic full of a supportive community where everyone can share their story or how they feel with everyone and not be judged or hurt a space where everyone is welcome and can share their experiences. -cale bartlett
