-Topeka, Kansas
-African Americans and white women and men were involved
- Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a very important event in  1954. It is the Supreme Court case in which the justices ruled that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional.  It also used research that said that segregation made black children feel inferior. This event helped establish the “separate-but-equal” education. An example of children dealing with the struggles of going to an all-white school was the Little Rock Nine that put up with a lot of abuse during school.
- This event was one of the greatest Supreme Court decisions in the 20th century and there was a lot of talk of it. It was a cornerstone of the civil rights movement and was a model for many future cases. This Court case washed  away constitutional norms and focused on segregation by race, and made equal opportunity in education the law of the land. This inspired many people to start a new and change their old ways. The court began listening to arguments and considered how this would badly effect African American kids.

- Montgomery, Alabama
- Rosa Parks and white women and men were involved
- Back then black people had to sit in the back of the bus. A woman, Rosa Parks, changed that norm by sitting in the front of the bus and refusing to move. As the white section filled up, she was asked to move and she would not so she was arrested. This response was so positive for African Americans that they continued to boycott and Martin Luther King Jr. became the movements leader. Eventually, the Court got involved and segregation on buses was unconstitutional. 
-This is important because it shows how unafraid and strong some African Americans truly are. Some would go as far as getting arrested or beat to stand up for what they want. This event caused many good and bad problems. Some good were that segregation on buses was unconstitutional and over time the tension began to ease. The negative of this event was after African Americans received death threats, bus company lost money, and people were harassed.]]> 2018-10-30 02:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298328933 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298330014 - August 28th, 1963
-It was during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom
- It was at Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC
- The people who were mostly involved were: Martin Luther King and anyone who was anti-segregation 
- The speech was given at the Lincoln Memorial and 0ver 100,000 people were there.The main idea of Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech was that he wants equality for all. During his speech, he uses a lot of repetition about freedom and equality. He envisioned that black people and white people would all live in union and one day be equal. His plan made a difference in our lives today on how we need to treat people equally and with respect.
-This made a difference because he was such a powerful man and people listened to him. He is one of the most important men during the Civil Rights Movement. This speech just brought greater attention to the demand for equality and Civil Rights. It was also given at the Lincoln Memorial, where the Abraham Lincoln statue is located, which showed the changes Lincoln made through the Emancipation Proclamation. The speech given by Dr. King made Congress move even faster with the Civil Rights Act and it was finally pasted that next year. ]]> 2018-10-30 02:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298330014 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298330943 - July 2, 1964
-Was signed at the White House in Washington, DC
- Lyndon B. Johnson and African American people were involved
- This document was the turning point in the Civil Rights Movement. This act would "outlaw discrimination in hiring and discharging, and more generally, in many forms and outlets based on race, color, religion sex or national origin." It was enacted by Lyndon B. Johnson and became a public law in July 1964. Desegregation in public schools were also in this act of 1964. It also gave African Americans the protection to vote.
- This is important because it ended segregation in public places and banned discrimination in jobs. Many people rallied for social, legal, and cultural change and they finally received it. This act was considered one of the biggest achievements during the Civil Rights Movement. It also paved the way for more acts to be passed like the Voting Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act. The Civil Rights Act was necessary because African Americans needed protection and to be treated with respect. ]]> 2018-10-30 02:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298330943 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298334444 - March 7, 1965 – March 21, 1965
-  Edmund Pettus Bridge in Montgomery, Alabama
- Martin Luther King, African Americans, SNCC, SCLC
- The March on Selma was for people who fought for the right to carry out their protest. It was a 54 mile route from Selma to Montgomery. Many people were beaten very badly and that caught the media's attention. The people protested did not fight back but were beaten with clubs and tear gas. After this incident, Johnson spoke out and asked both sides to respect the law. 
-This is important because it showed how much the media helped. Newspapers, magazines, and reporters all spread this event around the world to show how badly they wanted their rights. This, then, called for Federal Voting Rights Legislation to protect African Americans and let them vote. The act passed secured the right to vote for millions. Selma was a turning point in the battle for justice and equality in the U. S. This march was not only an event, it was a call to action for African Americans and their fight for equality.

- Began in Washington, DC ended in the Deep South 
- Civil Rights Activists were involved in Freedom Rides
- These freedom rides are also known as boycotts. They began when the courts orders were not being enforced so they took action. They were also done to confront racism and African Americans discrimination in a non violent way. But a lot of these ended up provoking violence from white people. They took a bus trip through the South in hopes that racist Southerns would create a scene. One Freedom Ride actually ended in a mob of people firebombing a bus
-This is important because it showed how much violence takes place. CORE aimed to integrate bus stations and it caused many angry mobs. When the Federals started to intervene, they arrested many Freedom Riders. Freedom Riders went against the Supreme Court and challenged law. It ended in the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission enforcing rules of bus and train stations. ]]> 2018-10-30 02:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298337303 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298338710 - April 4, 1968
- Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee
-Martin Luther King and James Earl Ray
- The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. was a very big event because so many people looked up to him and saw him as a role model. He was supporting striking sanitation workers. The next day, he was shot at a motel in Tennessee by James Earl Ray, who was a racist. Dr. King was a very prominent leader during the Civil Rights Movement and also won a nobel peace prize. He was known for his use of non violence and civil disobedience. After the death of King, many riots, reactions, and responses were of people who were very upset and they pushed more for change in the African American community. 
-This is important because one of the greatest Civil Rights Movement leader died. He accomplished many things while being a leader. He inspired so many people then and today to make a difference. Many people were also devastated by this act of horror. Many organizers thought that all of their hard work and protests would fall through but it really inspired many people to act for what they believe.]]> 2018-10-30 03:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298338710 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298538549 By: Audrey Jamieson]]> 2018-10-30 14:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298538549 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298542742 2018-10-30 14:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298542742 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298543186 2018-10-30 14:53:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298543186 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298543521 2018-10-30 14:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298543521 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298544070 2018-10-30 14:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298544070 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298544711 2018-10-30 14:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298544711 ajamieson19 https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298545259 2018-10-30 14:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ajamieson19/4iq3qp7pmdmd/wish/298545259
