 "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land."
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools
No person has the right to rain on your dreams. 

Jim Crow laws were any laws that enforced racial segregation which began in 1877 and were abolished at different points during the 1950’s which King had a big part in helping be abolished. The Jim Crow laws segregated public schools, public places, and public transportation, restrooms, restaurants and drinking fountains. 
Black only schools:
Abolished in 1954 by the Supreme Court with help from the Brown v.Board of education  making it unconstitutional to segregate and that schools could now inter - grate
Meant that black children and white children couldn’t attend the same schools 
Black peoples schools received significantly less funding than the white schools 
Seen as inferior schools compared to their white counterparts.

Washington March:
August 1963
250,000 people Gathered outside Lincoln Memorial to peacefully protest jobs and Freedom rights.
Luther King delivered his famous ‘I Have A Dream’ speech
One of if not the most important moment of the civil rights movement 
March happened after peaceful protesters were brutally attacked in Birmingham, Alabama. 




Montgomery Bus Boycott
After Rosa Parkes refused to get up out of her seat for a white person on a bus in Montgomery, Arkansasand was arrested due to this. King along with many others rode the Montgomery bus for 13 months making it so black people in principle would have to give up their seat for a white person and refused to.
The Montgomery bus service heavily relied on African-American people using their service in order to stay in business. Many were arrested for the Boycott but eventually after 13 months caused the bus device to change their policies.

Demonstrate resilience?
King was arrested in Birmingham, Alabama after the bus he was travelling on was attacked. Then the court later told King he could not hold protests in Birmingham anymore but he still did.

City officials and white citizens fought to fight the boycott, Montgomery city began penalising black taxi drivers for aiding the boycott. In early 1956, the homes of King and E. D. Nixon were bombed. King calmed the crowd near his home by stating: “Be calm as I and my family are. We are not hurt and remember that if anything happens to me, there will be others to take my place”
City officials obtained injunctions against the boycott in February 1956, and indicted over 80 boycott leaders under a 1921 law prohibiting the act of preventing lawful business. King was tried and convicted on the charge and ordered to pay $500 or serve 386 days in jail. 5 June 1956, the federal district court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that bus segregation was not required and unconstitutional, in November 1956 the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed Browder v. Gayle and cracked down on laws that reinstated or justified the act of segregated seating on bus'. This occurred the same day that the MIA and MLK were in court for carpool. The desegregation law did not reach Montgomery, therefore the boycott continued and the MIA operated without carpool for 1 month. The court upheld the law and on 20 December 1956 King called for the end of the boycott; the community agreed.]]> 2018-11-15 21:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rdwye31/eisd0cvsy0s6/wish/305032536 tlivi0 https://padlet.com/rdwye31/eisd0cvsy0s6/wish/305035219 https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/montgomery-bus-boycott

The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) was established on December 5, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama as a grassroots movement to fight for civil rights for African Americans. The movement fought against racial discrimination that effected African Americans. While the MIA and MLK were not a catalyst to the Montgomery Boycott, the movement gained control and led the movement a year later after the first boycott, stabilising the protesters and boosting morale, and efficiently and effectively ending the segregation laws on bus'. This movement sparked many more advancements to Black Civil rights and led Martin Luther King speaking his icon speech 'I have a dream' during the Washington March that he and fellow African Americans inspired. Without brave people such as MLK who stood up against racial discrimination, the world that we follow now would be a lot different.]]> 2018-11-15 21:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rdwye31/eisd0cvsy0s6/wish/305038044
