President Marshall was convinced that in order to restore political stability he had to rebuild the economies of those countries.

It was fought between the Colombian conservative party and the Colombian Liberal party. This war ended up as a stalemate. This war is significant because everyone was very passionate about what they were fighting for. ]]> 2023-02-23 20:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493102980 hamiltonm29 https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493110368 Israel being established was very significant because its territories encapsulate many religious sites.

When a white person asked her to give up her seat so that they could sit there, she simply refused. She, and many others attempting to gain Civil Rights, would boycott the bus after her arrest. Since African American people were the main contributors to the bus profits, they were given no choice but to give up. Rosa Parks had won the battle. She has set an example for countless other people and inspired them to advocate for change.]]> 2023-02-24 03:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493419580 hamiltonm29 https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493420283 In Greensboro, North Carolina, African Americans began to protest for change. So they sat on the white lunch counter instead of the labeled, "Color" lunch counter. Their successful protest led to SNCC creating more and more, broader protests. All in all, it set off a chain reaction of protests in the South.]]> 2023-02-24 03:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493420283 hamiltonm29 https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493421688 Dr. MLKJ was a civil rights activist arrested for protesting. His peaceful and occasionally effective strategies got him arrested, and many others injured. Resident Sheriff, Bull Conner, was not about to put up with this. As a hardcore racist and anti Civil Rights movement advocate, he let all of his powers loose. He used dogs, fire hoses, and more to attack and stop the Birmingham protesters.]]> 2023-02-24 03:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493421688 hamiltonm29 https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493422227 In the summer of 1963, the Alabama governor, George Wallace, tried to stop several African American students from getting into a University in order to register. It scales and the national guard comes in and simply escalates it from there. After the incident, President John F. Kennedy addresses the nation about civil rights and says that there is not a greater challenge facing America than the inequality of Civil Rights. He proposes the bill that in 1964 would become what we know today as the Civil Rights Act of 1964.]]> 2023-02-24 03:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493422227 hamiltonm29 https://padlet.com/hamiltonm29/fh2ckzfpeyqge6rd/wish/2493423505 The march on washington led to the Capitol Building where Dr. MLK delivered his famous, "I have a Dream," speech. This was an incredibly powerful and influential speech that certainly had an effect on not only his generation, but many to come.

It was when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed and now affected the lives of everyone in the US. officially it states, "It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin." And although it was primarily influenced by those of African descent, it now protected US citizens of any race, racial background, or gender.

Malcolm X, Civil Rights activist and Muslim convert, was murdered by the nation of Islam, and the intent thereof is not exactly known.

First, this Act outlaws prerequisites to voting such as fees and literacy tests. These also included having a white person vogue for you to be able to vote, which NO white person in their right mind would do. These were a big burden on people of color because they needed to vote, and now they can.

Shot by a sniper, he was killed immediately. This by no means ended the Civil Rights movement but certainly made sure they suffered a low blow. Once more, a legendary figurehead of the movement is killed and the nation suffered.
