Jackie Robinson was a professional baseball player who was the first African American to play baseball. Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color barrier when he started playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. He faced many criticism from baseball fans and was booed while he was playing. Sometimes he was treated unfairly because of his skin, and there are times where he clearly scored but the unfair referees would say he didn’t. But despite that he still showed the world how great he really is! When Jackie Robinson retired he went into the Hall of Fame.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 made it possible for African Americans to vote in the United States without having to take a test, or pay money to vote. This was important because blacks in the south were being discriminated against and were not being able to vote when they elected presidents, governors, and mayors the elections were not fair.

The Freedom Rides took place May 4, 1961 – Dec 10, 1961. They were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses into the segregated southern states in 1961. The Freedom Rides were important because if blacks and whites were in different place it will not be fair.  They were showing that they didn't want to be separated and they had a right to go to any state they wanted and travel freely.

This was when 9 kids who wanted to go to schools but white people did not let them go because they were black, so the government came and had to walk them in the school. This happened in 1958. It took place at a public school at first only whites can go then the black students got to go. This took place in Little Rock, Arkansas at Central High School. It is important because now we can learn from the past how it was wrong to not allow black people to have equal rights to white people.

Since the 1870's, Jim Crow laws decided that white and black people would Separate but it would be equal. In many states, they couldn't be close to each other. The year 1964 was the year that President Lyndon B. Johnson finally changed his mind and said that discrimination would end so he signed the "Civil Right Act of 1964." This act/law was important because that is what people hoped that the government would switch the law to end discrimination.

In August of 1963, around 250,000 people came to the Washington Monument to peacefully protest. This protest was about equal rights for people of color. Multiple people spoke at the March on Washington like Martin Luther King, Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, and more. When Martin Luther King got on the monument, he spoke about rights and other things. But afterwards, he gave his most famous speech called "I Have A Dream". Everyone loved the speech. After he spoke at the march, there were singers that preformed too. Some singers were Marian Anderson, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and more. This protest educated people on racial injustice and racism. To this day, we still protest for equal rights.

Homer Plessy, who was of mixed race and was 1/8 black, refused to move from the "whites only" train car in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Supreme Court decided he was wrong, and that laws separating blacks and whites were legal if the conditions were "separate but equal" - which was rarely the case. Sadly, this led to many states enforcing Jim Crow Laws which continued segregation.
