Do you know what the Underground Railroad is? If so, why is it important to the civil rights movement?

I have a very brief understanding of what the Underground Railroad is. I believe it was an outlet for African Americans to escape slavery. I believe it was not a literal railroad, nor was it underground. It was just a term used to describe the escape since it was a secret. It is important to the civil rights movement as it had a major impact on the liberation of the slaves.

Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is? If so, how did he impact the civil rights movement?

Martin Luther King Jr. was a very influential civil rights activist who fought for the freedom of African Americans. He is well-known for his famous speech "I Have a Dream". He had a great impact on the civil rights movement as his efforts in achieving racial equality were greatly weighed in ending racial segregation and inequality towards African Americans within the United States.

Do you know what or who Jim Crow is? If so, why is it important to the civil rights movement?

No I do not know what or who Jim Crow is and I do not know the importance to the civil rights movement.

What do you currently know about the topic of North American civil rights?

At the start of this course, my understanding of North American civil rights is quite basic. I have a general sense of some key figures and events but lack in-depth knowledge.

The Underground Railroad: I have heard of the Underground Railroad, and I know it was a network that helped enslaved African Americans escape to freedom. It's important because it represented a significant act of resistance against slavery and helped many people gain freedom, which is a crucial part of the early struggle for civil rights.

Martin Luther King Jr.: I know Martin Luther King Jr. was a prominent leader in the civil rights movement. He is famous for his role in organizing nonviolent protests and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. His work was vital in pushing for racial equality and civil rights legislation during the 1960s.

Jim Crow: Jim Crow refers to a set of laws and social practices in the southern United States that enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans. These laws were significant because they institutionalized racial discrimination and hindered progress towards civil rights for many years.

This is my initial understanding, and I am looking forward to learning more about these topics and their impact on the civil rights movement as the course progresses.

The Underground Railroad

My Understanding: When I think of the Underground Railroad, I imagine a secret network, like a hidden path or a series of safe spots where people who were enslaved could find freedom. It wasn't an actual train but more like a chain of helpers and hideouts leading to the North or Canada.

Harriet Tubman's Role: Harriet Tubman, to me, was like a real-life hero. She didn't invent this escape route, but she was one of its bravest travelers. Picture this: she'd sneak back into the South, risking her life, to guide others to freedom. She did this many times, showing incredible courage.

Its Importance to Me: This whole operation was about more than just escaping; it was about standing up and saying, "I deserve to be free." It's inspiring because it shows how determined people were to change their fate.

Martin Luther King Jr.

My View on Him: When I think of Martin Luther King Jr., I see a man who was like a teacher and a leader rolled into one. He wasn't just fighting for voting rights; he wanted a world where everyone, no matter their skin color, was treated equally.

His Actions: He led peaceful protests, like big marches, to make a point. Imagine someone speaking out loud, "This isn't fair," and getting everyone to listen. That was him.

Why He Matters to Me: Because of him, laws changed. I learn about him because he made the world a bit fairer. He showed me that you can make a difference by speaking up and standing together.

Jim Crow

My Understanding: Jim Crow laws, to me, were like rules that said, "You can't use this because of your skin color." It was all about keeping Black and white people apart, which was totally unfair.

The Character: There was this old character in shows called Jim Crow, making fun of Black people in a really hurtful way. This character made those unfair laws seem okay to some.

Why It's Important to Me: Knowing about Jim Crow helps me see how laws can be used to hurt people. It's a reminder of how we've grown and how we still need to fight for equality.

My Conclusion

These pieces of history teach me about standing up against injustice. They're like lessons in bravery and how change can happen, even when things look tough. It's about not giving up and believing in a better future

1. Do you know what the Underground Railroad is?
If so, why is it important to the civil rights movement?

Throughout the 19th century, enslaved African Americans were helped to escape to freedom via the Underground Railroad, an underground network of routes and safe houses that was mostly established in the northern United States and Canada. It demonstrated the willingness of people to put their lives in danger in the struggle against injustice and slavery, making it crucial to the civil rights movement. Later generations were motivated to fight for human rights and equality by this network. The strength of cooperation was demonstrated by the many courageous Black and White people who banded together to aid in the escape of others. These people's bravery and deeds set the stage for later civil rights movements.

2. Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. Is? If so, how did he impact the
civil rights movement?

Do you know what the Underground

Railroad is? If so, why is it important to the civil rights movement?

The Underground Railroad was a system of safe passages all across America that led to Canada for the purpose of freeing slaves. Harriet Tubman played a major role in saving hundreds of black slaves in America and brought them to freedom in Canada where slavery was now illegal. This was an extremely important movement that would eventually factor into the civil rights movement that would take place years later.

Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is?

If so, how did he impact the civil rights movement?

Martin Luther King Jr was a pastor who became one of the biggest faces of the Civil Rights movement, before he was assassinated at a black rights rally. He impacted the Civil Rights Movement in a huge way by being the spokesperson of the Civil Rights Movement across america. He regularly spoke to large crowds or black people, white people, influential people, working class people etc. He was able to influence many white people to rally behind this movement in support of ending segregation.

Do you know what or who Jim Crow is?

If so, why is it important to the civil rights movement?

Jim Crow laws were introduced across America with the purpose of officializing segregation of races. These laws included separating black people away from the general population- white people. Separate bathrooms, drinking fountains, buses, restaurants, housing etc. The Jim Crow laws were definitely a major influence for the Civil Rights movement as these laws ultimately led to white people being able to murder black people and getting away with it without repercussions and continuing the cycle of abuse the African American population was subjected to on a regular basis.

Course Pre-Reflection Questions

1. Do you know what the underground railroad is? If so, why is it so important to the civil rights movement?

The Underground Railroad was the largest slavery freedom movement in North America up to the end of the Civil War. Freedom for almost 50,000 people was achieved because of the bravery of those risking their lives to help others escape with the use of safe houses and secret routes.

During this time, the United States was divided, the Northern States disagreed with the Southern States' belief that it was a God-given right to own slaves as one. In the Southern States, African American people were owned primarily by well-to-do white males. The African American people at this time were considered property and the “owner” had the “right” to do anything he wanted with his property. Those enslaved were often beaten, starved, and raped. Many had to decide, to remain a slave, and continue this horrendous life, or risk everything including death for a chance at freedom. For some their dream came true, but many others were not as lucky.

2. Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. Is? If so, how did he impact the civil rights movement?

Martin Luther King Jr. was a non-violent leader in the American Civil Rights Movement. After the American Civil War, the Constitution was amended, adding thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen amendments as part of the reconstruction of the South. Despite the Constitution granting equal rights and freedoms to every person, African Americans continued to be denied these rights. Martin Luther King Jr. was a strong force in trying to secure these Constitutional rights and freedoms during the Civil Rights Movement.

3. Do you know what or who Jim Crow is? If so, why is it important to the civil rights movement?

Jim Crow Laws came into effect after the Constitutional amendments gave the African American people rights and freedoms. Jim Crow Laws were created at the State and local level to control the African American population and made segregation legal. It was the Southern States' loophole around the Constitution amendments. The Jim Crow laws legalized the brutal treatment the African Americans continued to receive and reinforced the refusal to acknowledge the rights and freedoms the United States had granted everyone equally.

To my knowledge, the Underground Railroad was an underground tunnel system created by free (not enslaved) individuals that spanned across North America.

Do you know what the Underground Railroad is?

Yes, I have some information about the underground rails. I remember it being asked in the Canada citizenship test. I remember, reading that it took many years for construction. It connects the United States to Canada. Since it is discussed in the civil rights, as far as I can remember that the slaves escaped through this railroad to Canada. It is important in civil rights movements because many of the African Americans who were brought into the US as slaves ran away, and the leaders helped them cross the borders through this underground rail to the safe heaven, Canada.

Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is?

I don’t know much about him. I am assuming since he is being discussed in civil rights movement, he must have favoured the black African Americans and tried upliftment of them and helped them in getting their rights.

Do you know what or who Jim Crow is?

Jim Crow laws are important in the civil rights movement. Jim Crow laws were forced on the Black African Americans. If the blacks didn’t obey, they were beaten up and faced unimaginable punishment and even death. The laws favoured segregation, separate public schools, no mixing of races, no voting rights, separate eating places and separate transportation.

Jim Crow was the name of a law set to segregate African Americans from the Caucasian population of the United States, allowing for things such as separate setting on public transportation, separated education systems, and separate public commodities such as water fountains or public washrooms, always having less funding given to the facilities made to support African Americans. The importance of the Jim Crow law during the Civil Rights movement was that is gave the public the view that African Americans were lesser than compared to their Caucasian citizens, allowing African Americans to be harassed and ridicule due to segregated views.

1. The underground railroad was a system of routes and safe houses used by slaves during the early 19th century mainly to escape into Canada and free states.
-It is important to the civil rights movement because of how ground breaking of a change it was, this action brought freedom and a sense of hope to enslaved African- Americans. The beginning of a movement.

2. Martin Luther king is one of histories bravest and most admirable individuals due to his determination to fight for what he believed was right and that was the rights of African-Americans (despite slavery being demolished it never really was because of how limited resources and opportunities were for people of color. )He was a baptist minister and activist who through being a spokesman became a lead of the civil rights movement.
-He stirred hearts with his determination to fight against the oppression of African-Americans and through his bravery he gave people the courage to continue fighting for equality and recognition.

The underground railroad was not a literal railroad, but it was a discreet system used to transport escaped slaves to freedom. I believe it extended all the way from the deep south to Canada. It was important to the civil rights movement because it facilitated freedom to enslaved African-Americans.

Martin Luther King Jr. is a person I admire for his bravery, courage, dedication, and skills in public speaking. He was the face of the civil rights movement before he was assassinated. Most people instantly recognize him from his "I have a dream" speech. MLK was critically important to the civil rights movement in the 1960s for his public advocacy for racial equality. He famously appeared at the March on Washington with another Historical figure I admire, Bob Dylan! Martin Luther King was devastatingly assassinated in 1968, as was Robert Kennedy. It was a tumultuous decade for sure, and I hope we will examine it deeper.

Jim Crow is another 1960s and prior phenomenon. It was a discriminatory set of laws against African-Americans that enforced segregation. I am pretty sure it is named after a cartoon crow, but I have never looked into why. I believe Jim Crow was discarded by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the United States. I know about American civil rights history but am lacking on the Canadian side! I hope through this course I can fill in the gaps.

1. do you know what the Underground Railroad is?
yes. it was a secret pathway that used to help slaves run away from their plantations to the other side of the United States where slavery wasn't allowed, these secret routes were led by Harriet Tubman.
I believe this is so important to the civil rights movement because this was such a brave thing we accomplished and this paved the way and gave us hopes into making things better for ourselves. not only were these slaves brave enough to leave where they were used to, they had to give up families and loved ones were lost in order for others to be free, its such a brave thing and gladly they were successful.

2. do you know who Martin Luther king jr is?
yes, I do. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist in the 1950s I believe and he helped black people get some of the respect and rights we have now, he led peaceful protests and spoke of the future where we different races can co-exist in peace without ridicule. sadly, he was killed I am not clear on the exact dates but at least we were blessed to have him because he did do a lot for the black community.

1.  Do you know what the Underground Railroad is?

Yes. It was the secret route that was used by runaway slaves to flee slave plantations across the United States in order to find freedom in Canada. These efforts were led by Harriet Tubman who later became famously known as "Black Moses."

I believe it is especially important for us to learn and understand the history of the Civil Rights movement in America which stems from not only a system of oppression but its wealth and prosperity that many White farmers and their descendants came to benefit from, was due in part to the enslavement of indigenous Blacks who were already in the United States as well as those who were later imported from Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

2. Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is?

Yes. Doctor King was an eloquent orator, American Baptist Minister, and Civil Rights Activists who decided to challenge the racial inequality in America by taking that of a non-violent approach which was similar to that of the Indian lawyer and agitator, Mahatma Gandhi in his plight against Colonial rule and oppression.

If so, how did he impact the civil rights movement?

Despite Dr. King being assassinated in 1968 at the age of 39 for his non-violent activism. He remains one of the most prominent, well-respected, and noble Civil Rights leaders of the 21st Century.

3. Do you know what or who Jim Crow is?

Jim Crow was a fictional character that became the term or name synonymous with the various methods of oppression employed to bring about segregated conditions primarily targetting Black people, who were sometimes attacked and killed(lynched). If they happened to enter certain areas that were considered to be Whites only neighborhoods.

If so, why is it important to the civil rights movements?

The Jim Crow era reminds us of a very dark chapter in American history when society was divided along racial lines while intentionally disenfranchising Black people from having the right to vote and participate in the pursuit of happiness and achieving the American dream.

1: Yes I do the underground railroad was a passage to that slaves where taken to in order to reach freedom. The main actor with these railroads was Harriet Tubman helping many saves reach freedom. This would allow slaves to be free and to survive until the civil rights movement era.
2 Yes I know about MLK he was a peaceful protester compared to other civil right activists such as Malcom X. However Doctor King was not afraid to stand up for civil rights and fought the white oppressive regime in America day and night. He is most notably known for his I Have A Dream speech. Due to Doctor Kings efforts many black people today have rights that never existed, therefore in a way he achieved his goal to give everyone similar opportunities and rights despite his early demise.
3. I do not know Jim Crow but I have heard about the Jim Crow laws which I'm not sure what they pertain about.

1.      I have heard of the Underground Railroad. It was a system used to help runaway slaves escape to freedom. Canada was one of those destinations of the Railroad. It wasn’t a railroad, but a series of people willing to help. So, a collection of routes and safe houses. Harriett Tubman is famous for being a ‘conductor’ or a guide for runaways along the Railroad. I read somewhere once that cornrows were used as Railroad maps by slaves.

2.      Martin Luther King Jr was a minister and a social activist who spearheaded the Civil Rights Movement through non-violent demonstrations and speeches. He was constantly arrested for his demonstrations, not to mention the death and bomb threats that were constantly being thrown at him. His most famous speech is “I Have a Dream”. He also was one of the leaders the Selma-Montgomery marches. He was eventually assassinated, but his death eventually led to the creation of the Civil Rights Act.

3.      The Jim Crow Laws were state laws that enforced segregation. So, think “whites only” vs “colours”. The laws impacted everything from how a black person interacted with a white person to where they were allowed to be in a social spot. The laws also made it that black men couldn’t interact at all with white women. The laws were state issued, not federal so that meant it varied from state to state. What might be legally in Georgia could be illegal in Texas and vice versa. I don’t know where the name ‘Jim Crow’ comes from.

1. The undergound railroad is what was utilized in the early 19 century to help slaves escape to the northern states, which were the 'free' states and to Canada.

2. Martin Luther King was a Civil Rights activist in the 1960's who was assassinated due to racial prejudice.
3.Jim Crow was a set of laws in the South that enabled racial segregation in the United States. This was important to the Civil Rights movement because there was no limit to these laws as African Americans where seen as second class citizens so that gave the white people of the south free range to treat them horribly at their will.

1)The Underground Railroad is the protection from oppression through departure and flight, through the finish of the Civil War. It alludes to the endeavors of subjugated African Americans to acquire their opportunity by getting away from servitude.

2) Martin Luther King, Jr. was a notable social liberties extremist who affected American culture during the 1950s and 1960s. His solid confidence in peaceful dissent helped set the pace of the development. Blacklists, fights, and walks were ultimately successful, and much enactment was passed against racial segregation.

3) Jim Crow was the name of the racial rank framework which worked fundamentally, yet not solely in southern and line states. Jim Crow was in excess of a progression of unbending enemy of dark laws. It was a lifestyle. Under Jim Crow, African Americans were consigned to the situation with peons. Jim Crow addressed the legitimization of against dark bigotry. Numerous Christian priests and scholars instructed that whites were the Chosen public, blacks were reviled to be workers, and God upheld racial isolation.

Do you know what the Underground Railroad is?
According to my understanding, the underground railroad is the term given to  the route that slaves used to escape from slavery to freedom. It was not an underground route in the literal sense. Escaped slaves were helped along the path to freedom by many individuals who hid them and provided them with food and shelter. Usually a light was left on by a window, indicating to slaves that it was a safe house.
Many slaves who escaped via the Underground Railroad lobbied for their civil rights and the civil rights of other slaves who were unable to escape.

Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr. is?
Martin Luther King Jr. was a black civil rights leader who was instrumental in the advancement of the civil rights movement in America. He gave a very important speech, "I Have A Dream". He gave impetus to the civil rights movement and was able to inspire and motivate masses of people.
