Previously discriminated leaders, such as Thurgood Marshall, saw this as an opportunity to finally address school segregation in the court room. Because of so many cases against segregation in schools, there was a decision to combine them all into one, which is now know as the Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. After over two years of arguments on this case, in 1954, Chief Justice Earl Warren, along with all other justices, decided that segregating schools was a violation of the Constitution. ]]> 2018-10-22 23:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732700 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732754 In 1957, Arkansas governor Orval Faubus claimed to not integrate the Little Rock Central High School due to violent actions and threats towards the coming nine black students. Their first day was on September 4 that same year. Before their first day even began, the nine black students were harassed by the hostile white crowd, while receiving no help from the guards around the school. It took nearly three weeks before they even entered the school with the help of Eisenhower sending troops to Little Rock. ]]> 2018-10-22 23:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732754 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732776 In 1955, an NAACP leader named Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama for not giving up her seat on a bus to a white person. As always, Parks, when boarding the bus, went straight to the seats designated to blacks. Unfortunately for Rosa Parks, following the rules still weren't enough. When the white section filled, Parks was demanded to get up for a white person and when she refused, she was arrested. In an effort to respond to this forceful segregation, community leaders decided to boycott the city's bus system. Other types of transportation was quickly set for all African Americans so they would no longer be paying the bus system. Luckily, there was success and a year later, buses were integrated.]]> 2018-10-22 23:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732776 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732907 After various struggles of gaining racial equality, in 1961, members of CORE decided to send a group of people on a bus trip through the South to spread word of equality. On May 4, 1961, a group of 13 volunteers left D.C. to travel all the way to Louisiana. This group was called the Freedom Riders, since they were riding the bus to freedom. On their passage, their duty was to be active in non-violent protests throughout the South to slowly encourage others of their doings. Unfortunately, the Freedom Riders faced a severe attack in Alabama, which ended their journey officially. ]]> 2018-10-22 23:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732907 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732950 On August 28, 1963, the largest Civil Rights demonstration in the U.S. occurred. Planned by various African American leaders, more than 200,000 people marched along the National Mall demanding Civil Rights for all. One of the leaders whom participated in the planning of this event was Martin Luther King Jr. MLK Jr. had the honor of delivering the last speech of the event in which is famously known as "I Had A Dream." In this speech he spoke from his heart and spoke of final and never-ending equality for all in the future to come. ]]> 2018-10-22 23:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295732950 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295734367 This case was of the upmost important in leading towards an equal society because America finally had their children, despite race, being educated as one. At this point in history, kids despite race are getting equal opportunities. This new generation is also growing up in a biracial environment in which their parents never had. This not only led to equal opportunities, but equal judgement and appreciation. Black children are now learning the same as white, therefore discouragement in the education process is fading away. ]]> 2018-10-23 00:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295734367 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295734476 2018-10-23 00:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295734476 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295739181 2018-10-23 00:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295739181 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295739279 One of the biggest impacts Little Rock Nine had on segregation was the president coming to defend their rights. Eisenhower, president during this time, Eisenhower made the decision to send federal troops to help the new nine black students attend school. Nationally, this was a big stand. Officers around the school would not even help the African American students from the abusive white crowd. This was a big step in Civil Rights history. Not only was there a law for integrated schooling, but now actual action is occurring. ]]> 2018-10-23 00:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295739279 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295739935 2018-10-23 00:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295739935 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295740245 2018-10-23 00:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295740245 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295740415 2018-10-23 00:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295740415 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295745225 On May 17, 1954, Chief Justice Earl Warren argued that segregation in schools deprives minority children of opportunities. He states in the Brown vs. Board of Education case that education is the most important 'function of the state." He was one of the first to openly fight segregation in school systems. Luckily he made an impact which led to great things. Many of which included equal education for all. ]]> 2018-10-23 01:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295745225 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295745533 During the March on Washington on August 28, 1963, MLK Jr. spoke his "I Had A Dream" speech. This speech was delivered at the end of the day, finalizing the overall meaning of the march in the first place. This speech was heard by all of America. MLK made it a point to speak from his heart in order to fight something from which his heart thought was wrong. ]]> 2018-10-23 01:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295745533 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295753385 The Montgomery Bus Boycott led to many forms of freedom for African Americans. For one, the bus system as well as many forms of transportation became integrated. Also, this was the first of many for the public to take action in fighting against segregation. The segregation of public transportation was deemed unconstitutional due to this force. Also we see figures like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. make a stand for others. ]]> 2018-10-23 01:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295753385 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295756002 The Freedom Riders is a very important part of Civil Rights history due to the expansive knowledge it set forth about segregation. People through the whole South were finally learning about uprisings about segregation because of the 13 volunteers. These freedom riders spread hope to all African Americans. One member became permanently brain damaged while another, physically affected. Although this had a forced stop, others came to join and carry out their mission. ]]> 2018-10-23 01:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295756002 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295757119 The March on Washington was the biggest stance on segregation in American history. Over 200,000 people of all races joined together to fight for equality. It was also here that Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Had A Dream" speech. This was the most important act during the Civil Rights movement because it led to the ultimate constitutional right of equality. ]]> 2018-10-23 01:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295757119 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295758573 2018-10-23 02:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295758573 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295759276 2018-10-23 02:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295759276 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295760023 Earl Warrens fight during this case was a huge stepping stone in the Civil Rights movement. He had the courage to stand in front of a whole court room and fight for something that was close to impossible to achieve. Because of Warrens speech and actions, schools have been integrated as one. Now, whites and blacks have the same opportunities to be successful and educated. ]]> 2018-10-23 02:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295760023 tcurley19 https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295760049 In my personal opinion, this was the most important stance taken on the Civil Rights movement. This speech was delivered by a somewhat respected black man whom dedicated his life to ending segregation. MLK Jr. spoke, not as a politician, but as a person, which I believe made this speech more successful than any other yet. ]]> 2018-10-23 02:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tcurley19/y32rseycjcdn/wish/295760049
