It was a political and a social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation in the public transportation system in Montgomery, Alabama. It also was a huge contributor to the civil rights movement in the U.S. This was during the time that Civil Rights cases and protests were heavily on the rise. The case led to declaring that Montgomery's segregation laws on transit buses were unconstitutional. ]]> 2021-04-30 04:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/393270/mv1w2o0irp1ho1om/wish/1476867074 393270 https://padlet.com/393270/mv1w2o0irp1ho1om/wish/1476868304 The Brown v. Board of Education occurred December 9, 1952-May 17 1954. The Supreme Court case was about that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. This was an event that had an impact on the civil rights movement. The case that became most famous was in 1951, when Oliver Brown's daughter, Linda Brown, was denied entrance to Topeka's all white elementary school. In the Lawsuit, Brown claimed that schools for Black children were not equal to white schools, and also that segregation violated the "equal protection clause" of the 14th amendment.]]> 2021-04-30 04:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/393270/mv1w2o0irp1ho1om/wish/1476868304 393270 https://padlet.com/393270/mv1w2o0irp1ho1om/wish/1476871454 James Meredith was born June 25th, 1933.

Four days later he was brutally and disturbingly murdered for it by the women's husband and his brother. They did horrible and torturous things to Emmett before they shot him then tied him to a cotton gin fan and threw his body into the river. Emmett Till was a child who was brutally killed for the color of his skin, because young boys make mistakes like whistling at older women when they are immature, they are learning. But Emmett was killed because of how he barely provoked a white adult when he was just a young minor, and since he was African American, what he did was blown out of proportion and they made him suffer because of they're horribly racist beliefs. ]]> 2021-04-30 05:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/393270/mv1w2o0irp1ho1om/wish/1476996100
