Although American slaves were emancipated as a result of the Civil War and were then granted basic civil rights through the passage of the 14th and 15th amendments, struggles to secure federal protection of these rights continued during the next century. Through mostly nonviolent protest, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s broke the pattern of public facilities’ being segregated by race in the south and achieved the most important breakthrough in equal-rights legislation for African Americans since the Reconstruction period (1865–77). ]]> 2017-04-25 13:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylas345/gjhf0vzmhut8/wish/168092874 kaylas345 https://padlet.com/kaylas345/gjhf0vzmhut8/wish/168857313 https://www.britannica.com/event/American-civil-rights-movement

To gain these African Americans had court cases, sit-ins, boycotts, non-violent protest, and marches. Some famous court cases are Plessy vs. Ferguson and Brown vs. Board of Education.]]> 2017-04-28 12:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylas345/gjhf0vzmhut8/wish/168859113 kaylas345 https://padlet.com/kaylas345/gjhf0vzmhut8/wish/168864427 Believed to be the most significant Supreme Court case in fight to end segregation argued by Thurgood Marshall, a symbolic leader of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). This case ruled that “there is no place for separate but equal in public education”. It overturned the ruling of the Plessy v. Ferguson case which stated that “separate but equal” was Constitutional. 
This case led to the desegregation of schools in 21 states.

Every person deserves to have the same rights, equality is a key to a good functioning society. But even today, decades later, people still experience racial prejudice and discrimination in our court system, public places, and even through social media. Overall, there will never be a 100% equalized society but we still need to fight to keep it as close as we can.]]> 2017-05-03 13:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylas345/gjhf0vzmhut8/wish/169668451 kaylas345 https://padlet.com/kaylas345/gjhf0vzmhut8/wish/169670690 On February 1, 1960, four African American college students sat down at a lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, North Carolina, and politely asked for service.
