The Montgomery County Bus Boycotts were one of the most notable boycotts. It was ignited by Rosa Park's daredevil stunt of blatantly not giving her seat up to a white fellow, and became a nationwide campaign for Civil Rights in America.]]> 2022-04-06 20:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133360825 jimenedm222 https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133361163 The Little Rock Nine were a group of Black students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were not allowed to enter the racially segregated school by the governor of the town himself.

These repeated sit-ins led to the store chain desegregating its stores. Greensboro sit-ins were an instrumental action, toward the progression of the Civil Rights Movement. They helped spur the subsequent sit-in movement, in which 70,000 people participated. These sit-ins also inspired the formation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).]]> 2022-04-06 20:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133363366 jimenedm222 https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133363941 The SNCC sought to coordinate youth-led nonviolent Civil Rights campaigns against segregation and other forms of racism. Members played an important role in sit-ins, Freedom Rides, the march on Washington, and projects such as these. Their actions led to an increase in black elected officials in the southern states, which was a massive step forward for Civil Rights Activists.]]> 2022-04-06 20:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133363941 jimenedm222 https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133364459 The Freedom Riders were interracial groups of civil rights activists who participated in bus trips through the American South in 1961. Their goal was to promote desegregated bus terminals by means of protesting. These trips were not safe however as many of the buses were abused, violated, vandalized, and in one case even burnt to a shell of a bus (done by the work of ant-protesters).]]> 2022-04-06 20:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133364459 jimenedm222 https://padlet.com/jimenedm222/qa8qv7t1jsadt9xt/wish/2133364966 The March on Washington was the largest gathering for Civil Rights of its time. An estimated 250,000 people attended the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. People arrived for this one demonstration in Washington, D.C. by any means necessary including planes, trains, cars, and buses from all over the country.
