The event became imperative in the Civil Rights Movement, but how so?

When classes began at Central High, the event was sparked when Governor Orval Faubus called in the Arkansas National Guard to block the black student's entry into the high school. The nine were deprived, being forcefully beaten and discriminated against until they had no other choice but to leave. This act was soon to have been prevented, and later that same month on September 24th, 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent in federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school.  

The goal of the Little Rock Nine soon became a reality. Nine ordinary teenagers stepped onto the frontlines of an all-whites-only Little Rock Central High, in order to challenge public school segregation and fight for Civil Rights for all African Americans, and Americans in general. 

The Little Rock Nine protest was indeed effective, and soon enough some graduated while others were expelled, but the goal did in fact become granted. The Little Rock Nine impacted society by inspiring many African Americans to stand up for themselves and to stand against racism. But, they also helped desegregate schools which later lead to the desegregation of public areas.

The Sit-Ins occurred until July 25th, 1960.

The goal of the Greensboro Sit-In as a non-violent protest, was to receive recognition that African Americans shouldn't be treated and referred to as second class citizens.  Instead, there shall be no segregation between the races, and that each race should receive full recognition no matter their differences.  

The Greensboro Sit-Ins were in fact an effective non-violent protest. The protest grasped the attention of many throughout the nation, especially of those who were African American activists.  The act of disobedience was a tactic that aroused sympathy for the demonstrators and eventually sit-ins occurred everywhere, including parts of the North and the South.

The "March on Washington" was a mass demonstration to spotlight economic inequalities, provide for new federal jobs, and increase the minimum wage for blacks and other races and religions.  The event also supported the Civil Rights Act, which allowed for integrated schools, and racial equality. 

The "March on Washington" was a very effective protest during the Civil Rights Movement.  The march itself opened the eyes of many government officials to the rise of racial equality.  The march provided for Martin Luther King Jr's famous speech, "I have a dream," which emphasized racial equality and that we as a union should stand up for ourselves and for our race to gain freedom and peace.   ]]> 2022-04-25 22:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_hornik/81g1xylrjgbb7mxy/wish/2157419356
