African-American civil rights leaders recognized the need for a national organization to help coordinate their efforts. In January 1957, Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Abernathy, and 60 ministers and civil rights activists founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to harness the moral authority and organizing power of black churches. ]]> 2018-11-08 03:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/301887477 History Of Malcolm: juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302079492 Malcolm X was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist. To his admirers he was a courageous advocate for the rights of blacks, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans; detractors accused him of preaching racism and violence. He stood for black lives matter, later in his life he worked with the leader of the Nation of Islam, Elijah Muhammad, to expand the movement's following among black Americans nationwide. He wanted to expand his knowledge and thinking of black lives matter and get it world wide. By the early 1960s, Malcolm X had emerged as a leading voice of a radicalized wing of the Civil Rights Movement. He also presented because of this "In the first years of the civil rights struggle, the most significant organizational expression of this new movement was the Nation of Islam. By the late 1950s, the group’s membership reached an estimated one hundred thousand, with Malcolm X as its most prominent member" becoming the start of his movement acts. ]]> 2018-11-08 14:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302079492 juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302079545 In his first speech as the group's president, King declared, "We have no alternative but to protest. For many years we have shown an amazing patience. We have sometimes given our white brothers the feeling that we liked the way we were being treated. But we come here tonight to be saved from that patience that makes us patient with anything less than freedom and justice."
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” -Martin Luther King Jr. “In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.']]> 2018-11-08 14:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302079545 juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302086470 In my eyes Martin King Jr had a greater impact on the Civil Rights Movement, the way Martin Luther King went about it made all the difference. He provided leadership, encouraged the importance of non-violent protests, and brought more publicity to civil rights efforts. For example, the Montgomery bus boycott. By peacefully boycotting the buses, the supreme court declared Alabama laws requiring segregation to be unconstitutional. He was a man to be remembered and is to this day and will be centuries from now. ]]> 2018-11-08 14:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302086470 juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302087729 In my eyes Malcolm X ,  expressed the pent-up anger, frustration, and bitterness of African Americans during the major phase of the civil rights movement from 1955 to 1965. He preached on the streets of Harlem and spoke at major universities such as Harvard University and the University of Oxford. He participated in rallies and gave speeches speaking up for what he believed in, he wanted to change the way black people were treated. I think that in itself is amazing and inspiring. He will be remembered as the man who continued it all and help give voice to those who did have a voice right behind Martin Luther King. ]]> 2018-11-08 14:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302087729 Accomplishments and Contributions: juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302114203 He also criticized the mainstream civil rights movement, challenging Martin Luther King, Jr.’s central notions of integration and nonviolence. Malcolm argued that more was at stake than the civil right to sit in a restaurant or even to vote—the most important issues were black identity, integrity, and independence. In contrast to King’s strategy of nonviolence, civil disobedience, and redemptive suffering. Malcolm also urged that the Nation become more active in the widespread civil rights protests instead of just being a critic on the sideline. ]]> 2018-11-08 15:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302114203 History of Fannie: juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302115782 Fannie Lou Hamer was an American voting and women's rights activist, community organizer, and a leader in the civil rights movement.

She was very outspoken. She was great civil rights movement leader and gave way to being outspoken. She was also a co-founder of the National Women's Political Caucus, an organization created to recruit, train, and support women of all races who wish to seek election to government office, which to me was a great historical accomplishment. ]]> 2018-11-08 15:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302122455 Accomplishments and Contributions: juliewebb2000 https://padlet.com/juliewebb2000/8b93hr25xfos/wish/302124790 Back in 1964, Hamer’s national reputation soared as she co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), which challenged the local Democratic Party’s efforts to block black participation.
