Question 1

Who was involved? The person that was involved in the march was Martin Luther King and 600 African Americans.

What happened? Martin luther king led 600 people to montgomery, Alabama. The reason why Martin Luther King led 600 people to Alabama is because 100 years after the civil war had happened African Americans wanted to vote but the whites made it difficult or prevented the blacks from voting.

Question 2

Why was this event is important in history? This is a really important part in history because it shows how racism really was for the blacks and how little respect they got from the whites.

Question 1: Summary-

In 1972, many people weren’t getting very many jobs. Officials started to realize that it was because people were different. After they started noticing this, there were laws made that you can’t be turned down based on your race, gender, color, national origin, and disabilities. From this act on, everybody had to be fair when they were employing others.

Question 2: Why was this an important event in history?-

This was an important event in history because if we didn’t have this act, people today would still be turned down on jobs based on what was different about them. Many people would be unemployed because some people are prejudice today and don’t want to be associated with people that aren't like them.

Question 3: Any fun facts, interesting pictures, or video clips?-

It was based on the Civil Rights Act.

It became a law soon after it was noticed.

Many people protested.

Passed by our 36th president Lyndon B. Johnson, the Voting Rights Act was signed as a way to overcome the barriers that kept African American citizens from voting. African Americans gained rights to vote in 1861, however, intimidation, and laws such as having to pass a  rigged literacy test to vote, kept the African American people from voting. Poll taxes also kept many African Americans from voting because they could not afford them. The act to stop the intimidation and allow the African Americans to vote, was passed by the U.S. senate on a 77-19 vote on May 26. Signed on August 6, 1965 by Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr., and other civil rights leaders.

-Who was involved

-What Happened

Question 1)

- The Black Panther party was a self-defense political party for African Americans. It was founded in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California. They fought to end brutality against all African Americans. But, more specifically they fought to end police brutality. Back in the 17th and 18th century police officers didn’t treat African Americans correctly, not just the police officers most people in the southern part of the United States. They were treated like they were  worthless, even though they did the majority of crop production including cotton and tobacco. They also battled against white-supremacy and unfair and cruel treatments against African Americans.

-Why was this event important in history

Question 2)

- This event helped to try and fix the inequality of the African Americans get noticed and brought to people's attention that they were so poorly treated and given little to no rights compared to what privileges the white people had and how the whites were treated. This was a major milestone in helping to emancipate African Americans.

Question 3)

- They often used violence instead of peace.

-They drew in tremendous attention from all over the world.

Question 1: Summary of event; what was involved, what happened.

In 1963, 3 white men that were former Ku Klux Klan members drove past an African American church. They threw a bomb into the church, then drove off. During this, they killed 4 young girls, and injured 14 others.

Question 2: Why was this event important in history?

This is important because it started  many riots, and no one really expected something like this to happen during a Sunday Church. Not to mention, the deaths of 14 year old Cynthia Wesley, 14 year old Carole Robertson, 14 year old Addie Mae Collins, and 11 year old Denise McNair and the 14 others injured. This was a big deal, since some people were still so hateful to African Americans in that area.

Summary~~
The Boycott was a protest that happened when Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus so a white man could sit in her seat, and because she refused she got arrested. That event caused the  African Americans to start to protest. The African Americans were mostly the only reason bus drivers made money, so when they stopped riding the the buses lost a lot of money.
Who was Involved?
The people that were involved included Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Edgar Nixon and a lot of other African Americans
What happen?
What happen was the African Americans Boycotted by not riding the buses and having to walk everywhere or find a ride/carpool.
2. The bus boycott was a huge part in contribution to history and the civil rights movement, because they showed the whites that they didn’t need to rely on the bus service or pretty much them, they basically declared their independence. It was also a big step in showing that they weren’t treated like normal human beings, and sadly, only some whites noticed how poorly they were treated.
3. Fun facts
- More than 75% of the city bus drivers were African Americans
- The overwhelming majority of black bus riders in Montgomery, approximately 40,000, participated in the boycott starting on December 5th. Many joined carpools in order to get to work and some even walked miles to work and other destinations. Montgomery African-American taxi drivers helped the cause by reducing their fair for black riders to ten cents, the same amount as a bus fare.
- It had taken 381 days but the Montgomery Bus Boycott was successful in ending segregation on buses and showed how economic boycotts by the African-American population could lead to great results in the battle for civil rights.

Freedom riders were white and African American activists

They took bus trips through the south protesting segregation

Some were arrested on the way and white protestors turned violent against them

On May 4, 1961, 13 people left on a bus from Washington D.C. 7 African Americans and 6 white people went. Their goal was to reach New Orleans on May 17, the anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education decision. When John Lewis, an African American protester, a white veteran, and another African American rider tried to go to into a white only waiting room, and they were attacked by a mob of protesters. Lewis was elected into the House of Representatives in 1986, and served until the past few years.

African Americans used white restrooms, lunchrooms, waiting rooms, and went to white only stores and restaurants

When the first bus of Freedom Riders arrived, there was a mob of 200 white people that attacked the bus. The driver had to drive past the bus station. The mob followed the bus in cars, and when the tires broke down on the bus, someone threw a bomb in. When the riders escaped the bus, they were beaten by the mob.

This was important because it was protesting the segregation of African Americans on public transportation, but it also crossed through the south, the most segregated part of America.The second bus also met a mob, and people with metal pipes attacked the riders.

1. Summary of event- During this time many Americans didn’t want Jews to come to America because of the depression and they thought the Jews would steal their jobs. American Government didn’t allow Jews to come to America for several years until they found out the severity of the Holocaust. Even after this many Jews were judged and left as outcasts in everyday life. The way you treated them depended on your religion, childhood, etc.

2. Why was this important in history? At this point our government was still developing and although it may sound bad, the Holocaust helped develop our government and how we handle immigration. We learned as a country we have to be accepting and understanding of other people and what they are going through.

3. The US government turned over 30,000 German Jews and made them go back home because they didn’t want them to take American jobs during the depression. After not letting them in the US became one of the most accepting countries in the world.

Many Jews came to America by boat.

Question 1: (Summary of event, who was involved, and what happened)
The Supreme Court made the 14- Amendment unconstitutional. They let little black girls and little black boys attend the same schools as the white boys and girls. This happened on May 17, 1954.
NAACP lawyer Thurgood Marshall had won the school DE-segregation case that was brought by 13 African  American families.

The five cases of this board included:

Delaware -- Belton v. Gebhart (Bulah v. Gebhart)

Kansas -- Brown v. Board of Education.

Washington, D.C. -- Bolling v. Sharp.

South Carolina -- Briggs v. Elliot.

Virginia -- Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County.

Question 2: (Why was this event important in history) This event was very important in today's history because of all the DE-segregation.  This also stops the states from allowing equal protection. This has a big impact to today's century.

Here are some of the pictures that go along with the Brown vs. Board of Education:
