Black Racism Scares me as Much as White- Jackie Robinson Article 1969

# data[].attributes.body
During March of 1969, baseball star, Jackie Robinson wrote a detailed and eye-opening article about racism and segregation that blacks were struggling against. He spoke out to a large audience, consisting of blacks and whites in America, about the issues regarding racism in the United States. Robinson began his article by discussing that racism goes both ways. He is definitely not denying or ignoring the fact that many white Americans are harshly and unfairly persecuting blacks in America solely because of the color of their skin. He brings up and describes the many instances of harsh and cruel brutality towards blacks in the United States. However, Robinson also brings up a point that hadn't been discussed often. He claims that blacks are also racist against whites. He says that many blacks insist that they want equal rights and opportunities as whites, however some of those same people protest the progression of businesses that are run by white men, in communities that consist of a population that is of majority black. This article is very important to the Civil Rights Movement because it introduces a new solution to racism and also opens the eyes of many to see that racism is no joke, and needs to be fixed fast. Robinson's solution is that blacks and whites in America need to learn to work together in all aspects of life. All people need to begin to work together as a country, through politics and businesses. America needs to see beyond color, because racism is causing the country to turn against itself. Robinson claims that an end to racism is not nearby if blacks and whites continue down this path.

The speech was delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Dr. King powerfully declared the need of economic, civil, and equal rights for blacks and whites in America. MLK wanted equal opportunities throughout businesses, education, and even social life for blacks and whites. Because of his tone and passion, his speech gained a ton of attention.

Martin Luther King, Jr. I Have A Dream Speech

In the Summer of 1964, about a thousand out-of-state whites were sent to Mississippi for about three months. The volunteers worked together with many blacks in Mississippi in order to register blacks to be able to vote. They also educated African Americans and worked with them in order to fight for Civil Rights. Led by the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) and the Student Non-Violence Coordinating Committee (SNCC), many college students were sent to Mississippi with the goal to end racism and violence because of race. Although many of the volunteers were attacked, beaten, and even murdered while pursuing a racist-free America, the volunteers did not give up on their mission. Though Freedom Summer was an outstanding idea, with a lot of hope, many people think that it caused even more division and violence between blacks and whites in America. With the goal to register as many African-American voters as possible, Freedom Summer, also known as the Mississippi Summer Project, is considered a monumental moment during the Civil Rights Movement. Though it didn't solve racism, it did bring many whites and blacks together in order to fight for a common goal.

This event was a civil rights protest. African Americans refused to ride city buses to protest the segregation on buses. The boycott took place from December 5, 1955 and dint end til later the next year on December 20, 1956. Just days before the protest, a young woman by the name of Rosa Parks was arrested and fined for refusing to move when ordered to move for a white man. Over a year later, the US Supreme Court ultimately ordered Montgomery to integrate its bus systems.
