Civil rights have always been a huge topic of discussion more importantly in the 1950's and 1960's where it started to be addressed properly. 

Martin Luther King Jr. brought to light lots of issues in our country not only then, but opened up the opportunities for these issues to be corrected over the years, carrying on into todays issues. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2160996314 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2160999563 Civil rights is still an issue today for the reason that there is still people in America, let alone the world that still create racial issues, civil right issues, etc. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2160999563 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161003703 I believe anyone is subject to the civil rights issues and more accurately, African Americans, Immigrants, etc. This is because these people who are equal to anyone else on this planet, deal with "fitting in" or just being who they want to be. It can be an everyday struggle as finding yourself can become challenging when there is people who make these issues arise for no reason.]]> 2022-04-27 19:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161003703 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161008184 The controversy that people still deal with today is racial issues in certain areas of the US that should not be issues still. Or even LGBTQ work environments, human trafficking, police brutality, etc. Such issues that are still predominant that have been address by Martin Luther King Jr. that are direct civil rights issues. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161008184 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161011729 Throughout Martin Luther King Jr's life, he experienced firsthand growing up the civil rights issues that he later became an activist for. Becoming a hero for his community and the country as a whole, woke the nation up that divided everyone. With his assassination in 1968, his work is still remarkable and carried on into topics today that are still being addressed. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161011729 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161015360 Some other historical figures that fought for these civil rights included, Rose Parks, Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, etc. All of whom had very similar principles on addressing civil rights. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161015360 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161019650 Martin Luther King Jr. and his civil rights movement correlates relatively well with People and Place because if you feel disconnected within your community because your civil rights aren't being respected, then you would feel out of place. Just like any citizen regardless of race, gender, where you were born, but more importantly immigrants and African Americans. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161019650 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161024928 Rosa Parks for example was an activist who directly refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, also known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Highlighting and showing others struggling with this civil rights issue can be addressed. 

Another activist, Malcolm X was a Muslim Minister and human rights activist that was a spokesperson around the same time as Martin Luther King Jr. who also spoke on the civil rights issues and the black community. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161024928 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161028044 Throughout this module we were informed about the people and place issues that appeared in history. I chose the civil rights movements/activists because it goes hand in hand well with people and place. ]]> 2022-04-27 19:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161028044 fergus48 https://padlet.com/fergus48/3ngziv8tbnm3s4l8/wish/2161029918 https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/1964/king/biographical/
