This is a speech that Dr. Luther King did in 1963, during the time of the Civil Rights Movement, his perspective was focused on the black community. In this speech he explains that he believes in a bright future for the black community, there's hope for them and specially justice and equality. He was speaking to all the audience that were seeing him, but also to the whole black comunnity. This source would be important because it was made during the time of the Civil Rights Movement, and because the message inspired to the people of that time to believe and had hope.

This is a speech that Dr. Luther king did too! This one was made in 1958, also during the time of the Civil Rights Movement, his perspective was focused on the right of vote for the black community.

This speech has a base that is focused on the fact that American people had already fight for their rights but hadn't included black people on it, Dr. Martin says that woman had fight in a very strong way for their rights until they made it, so he thinks they should do the same thing. He's speaking to all the black community but also the whole American community.

Is very important because it's a start of the actions that black people made for having the rights they deserved.

This is a speech that Fannie Loy Hamer did after horrible things happen to her because of doing daylife actions... just because she was black. The purpose of her speech was to write down and let a evidence of the things that happen to her and to evidence the fact that black people couldn't make normal things because of the fear of being punched or even killed. Her perspective is focused on the victim and the fear of them.

She's speaking to all the American community to stop doing this horrible things and to let the evidence of it. Is very important because it lets a mark on the American actions and it's a crucial evidence.

This is a photo of Ernest Wither from the collection of "I AM A MAN: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1960–1970"

"The collection displays a wide range of photographs taken by amateurs, local photojournalists, and internationally known photographers. Together, they provide a vivid visual story of the evolution of the civil rights movement and shed light on the movement’s integration in the daily living in the American South." (Alliance, Mid-America Arts, "I AM A MAN: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement")

The perspective of Ernest is being part of the Civil Rights Movement, the point of taking pictures is to capture the moment inself, so he was trying to capture some of the moments of this important movement.

In this photo we can see that the audience is the people that get to see the photo and the photographers that are part of the collection, with the purpose of expand the people that get to see the colection and to capture the moments.

Is important because of the thing that I had already said a lot of times, because it captures a moment.

This a photo of Bruce Davidson, titulated "A young African American man with the word "VOTE" on his forehead during the Selma March", made in Alabama, USA in 1965.

The perspective of this photo is focused on retrating the ways that black community used to do to protest of their rights, I would say it's important to mark the fact that the ways were pacific.

The audience of this picture would be all the people that can see this picture and the purpose would be capture the moment and the ways that black people used to protest.

This picture is important because it retrates the pain that they used to had and the things they used to do to get noticed and to have basic things.

This source is important because it can be read in a more natural way, why do I mean with this? Is the fact that it's a story and not an investigation inself, which makes it more comfortable to read it.

My sources helped reconstruct the Civil Rights Movement because it contains some of the most important people that are recognized for helping this movement to expand and develop. Also, the moments that are related to this movement in the different sources I used are also iconic moments. We can say that all of the pictures, books, and stuff I’d put on this web are very important, doesn’t matter if they’re primary or secondary source. I would say the things that contribute a lot are the speeches, because they help us understand the way that people get to feel at that time with all the injustices and terrible things they experienced. I think an opinion and experience makes the speech more connected to the whole situation.

The pictures that I have chosen also to make a lot of difference and help us understand the ambience and people of that time, the faces, the cartels, the cars, and all those kinds of things help us to empathize more with them and with the things that they, sadly, must go through. Even though books are, in some cases, very long and maybe difficult to read, they are very important, because they help us to focused more on the actions that happen and on the development of the movement.
