In this case, we are starting to see it in schools, whether public or private. 

2. The quote, "Separate but equal" was made and many schools have continued racial segregation. The name never lived up to what it claimed to be. There was no "equal" just segregation. 

3. What made the brown vs. board of education event important is that it pushed the end of racial segregation in the United States. If it wasn't for this old law, we wouldn't have what we have today.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a social movement that empowered many other movements later on. It was made to make a statement. This statement was that being separate never meant being equal. Racial segregation never seemed equal. Before this event / social movement was made, Rosa parks had not left her seat for a white man that demanded it over and over again, and she went to prison for it. This really opened up the eyes of African Americans and had a line drawn there.

2. This event was a success because although it took six whole months to make its way to the judicial system, the 14th Amendment was made, meaning everyone is equal under the protection of the law.

3. If it wasn't for the Montgomery Bus Boycott social movement, the elimination of racial segregation of minorities (transportation-wise) would most likely still be going on today. If it wasn't for this law, we would still have this metal wall in front of African Americans, making it hard for them to be equal.

Before Rosa parks and her outstanding and nothing but brave act of staying seated, we wouldn't be where we are today. If she had stayed seated, we would still have one of our only ways of transportation STILL racially segregated. Think about how much this was an inconvenience for not just any African American giving up their seat, but one that is pregnant or severally injured. 

2. One word to describe not only the event but Rosa Parks herself would most definitely be the word, brave. This event was nothing but unfair. If an African American has to give up their seat just because a white person "said so" there is a huge problem. And for Rosa Parks putting an end to it, and stepping up for her self-respect, I admire her greatly for that.

3. Description of Event - A Bus where it was racially segregated, African Americans in the back, and Whites in the front, and if no seats, an African American person had to give up their own seat for them. This event is extremely important to the Civil rights movement because it sparked other movements and speakers like Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X, and this event overall made history.

Before this law was passed, attempting to vote was one of the most dangerous pursuits for an African American citizen. Many obstacles like voting taxes, grandfather clauses, and literacy tests were put into place to prevent them from voting, and even in the unlikely event that they did get past any of these arbitrary barriers, they would be met with violent encounters at the polls. Voting for African Americans in the 60s was essentially a death wish.

2.  The voting rights act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson. It outlawed discriminatory voting practices like literacy tests that were adopted in many of the southern states at the time. The act called for federal oversight of voter registration in states where less than 50 percent of the non-white population had registered to vote, and authorized investigations of the use of poll taxes in state and local elections.

3. It's important because it not only granted African American citizens the right to vote, but it also gave them leeway to challenge other parts of the legislation by using their newly granted power, cementing their civil right to be American citizens.

After Rosa Parks, one of the only Black women who put their foot down to a white man's word, Martin Luther King came into the photo. He taught Black people to show Nonviolent resistance, and this is what made him an amazing civil rights activist. He knew how to empower and uplift every brother and sister. He made led multiple protests and sparked a new era of speaking up for Black voices. 

2. If it wasn't for Martin Luther King we also wouldn't be blessed with his most famous speech of his, "I have a dream" This speech also empowered so many people, and maybe even made more activities come into the photo. If it wasn't for his amazing voice, we would have the number of people we have today that believe in equality, seeking justice for minorities, etc.

3. What made Martin Luther king such an important part of the Civil rights movement was that he was such an important figure. He pursued even the stubbornest of thinkers to think about equality, and at some point forced the federal government to take down any racially segregated laws in existence, and have everyone treated equally but not separately.

Malcolm X was known for being a civil rights activist. He fought and supported African Americans and showed them how to best react in situations. Malcolm X didn't have the same beliefs as Martin Luther King. while Malcolm X was Muslim,  Martin Luther King was Christan. 

2. Thomas Hagan is the man who shot Malcolm X in the chest, and zooted off. Sooner or later, Malcolm X was officially pronounced dead at 3:30 pm. Lots of African Americans, and Muslims were angry. One of the only men who used their voice and spoke up about racial segregation and other unfair events, and they just got their lives taken away by a white man. 

3. This event is extremely important to the civil rights movement because Malcolm X was one of the only activists that spoke up and were not only African American, but Muslim. His words showed that we are strong and should learn how to give back the same energy when it comes to facing aggression and unfairness.

1. James Earl Ray killed Martin Luther King simply due to hatred. He was also an extreme racist, and just overall didn't wish any good for this activst that wasn't scared of speaking his thoughts to the world no matter what.

2. Martin Luther King Jr's death was an assassination. The person who took his life away was, James Earl Ray. An American fugitive. He used a gun to kill Martin Luther King Jr.

3. Martin Luther King Jr's death was an important Civil rights event because he was a great leader, whom many African Americans looked up to. He was never afraid to speak up about what was bad and what was good. He showed people how to respond correctly in a situation. (Nonviolent) and for that, I look up to him because if you are a Civil rights activist you can get thrown into jail countless of times, and not once did Martin Luther King ever think for a second that he should stop using his Black voice as a speaker for others.

Multiple honorable African American civil rights leaders led the Birmingham Campaign. A campaign that took place in downtown Alabama. One of the most important figures being, Martin Luther King Jr. This campaign was a form of two different Christian leadership movements that used both of their powers to make their statements loud and clear. Even without using aggression or violence.

2. What made the Birmingham Campaign event an important event is because, it brought attention to all sorts of people around the area. Especially police offers, and other people of higher position. And this is exactly what they anticipated was going to happen. They wanted to bring attention to all the unfairness African Americans go through on a daily basis, whether it was about segregation or other plain racism.

3. What made this event really important, was not only just the long period of time it lasted, (April 3 - May 1 1963) But also the connections the movement made. It brought two christian based groups, "The Southern Christian Leadership "and "The Alabama Christian movements" and they both used both of their strong empowering voices to speak on and bring attention to people that we have to desegregate public facilities.

The Chicago freedom movement tackled multiple problems during the time. Too many to count. One of these problems was segregated housing which sparked the movement. This protest declared its thoughts on ending slums that were happening in the city. 

2. Multiple local civil rights groups started the Chicago Freedom Movement, one of them being Martin Luther King Jr. Of course, this is very important because Martin Luther King Jr was a person all sorts of African Americans looked up to for his nonfearing acts and thoughts. 

3.  What made the Chicago Freedom Movement an important event, especially in the civil rights era was that it was a get-together of everyone who shared the same thoughts and feelings about segregation and overall racism. It made the community feel stronger than it already did feel.
