Board of education, there was a mandate to start to integrate the segregated schools. Nine black students from Little Rock Arkansas were chosen to attend Central High School, an all-white school. They were not welcomed by the governor since he sent troops to stop them from attending. President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to let the nine students get in the school. During the school year, the nine students were not safe at all, specially when the national troops were dismissed, and so was the only protection the students had. They were physically and verbally abused by other students and teachers, they were threatened and chased to their house. After that school year, schools were closed for a year and most of the little Rock Nine completed their education somewhere else.]]> 2021-11-24 06:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lrodriguez8556/xv7qg4p04uidc815/wish/1909937540 lrodriguez8556 https://padlet.com/lrodriguez8556/xv7qg4p04uidc815/wish/1909937613 During Plessy v. Ferguson having segregated facilities was legal as long as the facilities were equal for both white and black people. When Linda Brown was denied admission to an all-white elementary school in Topeka, her father, Oliver Brown filed a law suit against the board of education of Topeka stating that the schools for black students were not even close to being equal to the schools for white students. The decision of the case was that in public schools the separate but equal doctrine did not exist because schools faced extreme inequality. This case led to school integrations. ]]> 2021-11-24 06:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lrodriguez8556/xv7qg4p04uidc815/wish/1909937613 lrodriguez8556 https://padlet.com/lrodriguez8556/xv7qg4p04uidc815/wish/1909971309 The Bus Boycott initiated because of the arrest of Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955. Parks refused to move from the seat she was, in the section for black people to give her seat  to a white person once the white seats were filled. African Americans refused to ride city buses in Montgomery, Alabama and it was around 40,000 black bus riders who boycotted. During this boycott, Martin Luther King Jr. was elected as leader of the movement which was decided to keep going until the city met their demands: first-come, first-seated policy, the hire of black drivers and courtesy. Integration was legally achieved after more than a year stating that it violated the 14th amendment, but the integration led violence and resistance.

Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested on April 12, 1963 and was under solitary confinement. Eight Members of the Birmingham clergy criticized the movement and Martin Luther King's response was the letter of Birmingham Jail, which explain that they are fighting because they won't submit to the laws that supports segregation and denies citizens of their rights. https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/encyclopedia/letter-birmingham-jail]]> 2021-11-24 07:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lrodriguez8556/xv7qg4p04uidc815/wish/1909997074 lrodriguez8556 https://padlet.com/lrodriguez8556/xv7qg4p04uidc815/wish/1910023247 Martin Luther King Jr. delivered what would later become one of the most important and famous speeches, which is the " I Have a Dream" Speech. King delivered this speech before a crowd rounding the 250,000 people during the 1963 March on Washington. In the speech he explained thoroughly the difficulties that African Americans have suffered while also providing his own perspective on how he dreamed that the life of African Americans would be in the future which was basically a world in which African Americans could live free from segregation and oppression and live as normal citizens. He dreamed of a world with equality. The speech is recognized as a landmark or signature moment of the Civil Rights Movement which lead to helping African Americans get a better life quality after the movement.
