The girls:

Many Jews came to America by boat. 

Freedom riders were white and African American activists

They took bus trips through the south protesting segregation

Some were arrested on the way and white protestors turned violent against them

On May 4, 1961, 13 people left on a bus from Washington D.C. 7 African Americans and 6 white people went. Their goal was to reach New Orleans on May 17, the anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education decision. When John Lewis, an African American protester, a white veteran, and another African American rider tried to go to into a white only waiting room, and they were attacked by a mob of protesters. Lewis was elected into the House of Representatives in 1986, and served until the past few years. 

African Americans used white restrooms, lunchrooms, waiting rooms, and went to white only stores and restaurants

When the first bus of Freedom Riders arrived, there was a mob of 200 white people that attacked the bus. The driver had to drive past the bus station. The mob followed the bus in cars, and when the tires broke down on the bus, someone threw a bomb in. When the riders escaped the bus, they were beaten by the mob.

This was important because it was protesting the segregation of African Americans on public transportation, but it also crossed through the south, the most segregated part of America.

The second bus also met a mob, and people with metal pipes attacked the riders.

Question 2: (Why was this event important in history) This event was very important in today's history because of all the DE-segregation.  This also stops the states from allowing equal protection. This has a big impact to today's century.

Here are some of the pictures that go along with the Brown vs. Board of Education:

-What Happened

Question 1)

- The Black Panther party was a self-defense political party for African Americans. It was founded in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California. They fought to end brutality against all African Americans. But, more specifically they fought to end police brutality. Back in the 17th and 18th century police officers didn’t treat African Americans correctly, not just the police officers most people in the southern part of the United States. They were treated like they were  worthless, even though they did the majority of crop production including cotton and tobacco. They also battled against white-supremacy and unfair and cruel treatments against African Americans.

Question 2) 

- This event helped to try and fix the inequality of the African Americans get noticed and brought to people's attention that they were so poorly treated and given little to no rights compared to what privileges the white people had and how the whites were treated. This was a major milestone in helping to emancipate African Americans.  

Question 3)

- They often used violence instead of peace.

-They drew in tremendous attention from all over the world. 

 In 1972, many people weren’t getting very many jobs. Officials started to realize that it was because people were different. After they started noticing this, there were laws made that you can’t be turned down based on your race, gender, color, national origin, and disabilities. From this act on, everybody had to be fair when they were employing others. 

Question 2: Why was this an important event in history?-

 This was an important event in history because if we didn’t have this act, people today would still be turned down on jobs based on what was different about them. Many people would be unemployed because some people are prejudice today and don’t want to be associated with people that aren't like them.  

Question 3: Any fun facts, interesting pictures, or video clips?- 

Who was involved? The person that was involved in the march was Martin Luther King and 600 African Americans. 

What happened? Martin luther king led 600 people to montgomery, Alabama. The reason why Martin Luther King led 600 people to Alabama is because 100 years after the civil war had happened African Americans wanted to vote but the whites made it difficult or prevented the blacks from voting. 

Question 2

Why was this event is important in history? This is a really important part in history because it shows how racism really was for the blacks and how little respect they got from the whites.
