The movement occurred primarily to peacefully fight the discrimination and segregation that African-Americans were facing at the time. The types of discrimination included separate facilities for people of color, such as schools and businesses. Black people also faced incredible discrimination just by being parts of society. Literacy tests were made to try and disqualify them from voting, and they were even forced to sit in separate sections of the bus. ]]> 2017-04-20 13:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/167248056 Goals of the Movement blakec549 https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/167252199 - Achieve equal rights and equal status in society.

Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas blakec549 https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/167466614 This Supreme Court ruling was, in my opinion, the most important of the Civil Rights movement. It ruled that separate educational facilities were inherently unequal. This ruling, which occurred at the beginning of the movement in 1954, gave the entire movement momentum. This momentum gave them the drive to fight for ultimately integrated facilities towards the end of the movement.]]> 2017-04-21 12:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/167466614 Monument- Martin Luther King Jr. Monument in Washington, D.C. blakec549 https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/167467241 https://www.nps.gov/mlkm/index.htm

Across the country, courts ruled in the favor of African-American desegregation. Additionally, the congress introduced several laws to integrate public schools and to desegregate our daily life. The movement was additionally strengthened by the fact that the movement was peaceful, therefore the idea of peaceful resistance will remain in the minds of future generations. ]]> 2017-04-25 13:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/168093308 YOUTUBE LINK blakec549 https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/168094170 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URxwe6LPvkM]]> 2017-04-25 13:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/blakec549/mso0fih4aew6/wish/168094170
