Some similarities are the fact that these were both protests made against the original movements. The Cinema burning was against the people who were protesting the Shah and the bombing was against people fighting for civil rights. Also both of these events had the same goal: to scare people from protesting.

This bombing killed 4 people and injured 22 others. The two men convicted of the bombing were both white supremacists who used this bombing as a way to scare people who support the Civil Rights Movement.]]> 2018-12-11 01:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313226570 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313226617 https://www.history.com/topics/1960s/birmingham-church-bombing]]> 2018-12-11 01:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313226617 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313226844 2018-12-11 01:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313226844 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313231891 There are two main differences between the Cinema burning and the Church bombing. One is that the reaction from the police were way different, In Persepolis she says that the police would not let anybody inside to help rescue the victims. But this is unlike the Bombing because the Police had to help retrieve victims that were inside of the church and there were people on the streets who were helping rescue victims. Secondly there was a difference in the amount of fatalities, in the Cinema burning there were hundreds of people killed while in this Church Bombing there were only 4. But this difference in the amount of fatalities will not change the response and effects it had on the community and the two movements.]]> 2018-12-11 02:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313231891 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313241191 In September of 1968 the was a protest at Jaleh Square in Iran. This protest went violent thought as around 80-90 protesters were killed by police brutality. This massacre would be remembered as one of the reasons for the downfall of the Shah. ]]> 2018-12-11 03:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313241191 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313242735 In March of 1965 protesters held a march where they would walk from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery protesting against no voters rights for African Americans. But this protest went violent quickly as the police reacted with force and beat up many protesters. This brutality was shown all of the country which created more support for the Civil Rights Movement and one of the main sparks for the passing of the Voters Rights Act. ]]> 2018-12-11 03:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313242735 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313242771 https://www.history.com/news/selmas-bloody-sunday-50-years-ago]]> 2018-12-11 03:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313242771 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244013 The March on Washington was the largest protest during the Civil Rights Movement when about 250,000 people protested at Washington D.C. for jobs and freedom in August of 1963. This march had many famous speakers during the Civil Rights Movement and held the famous "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This march was the turning point in the Civil Rights Movement because it is thought of to be one of the main reasons for the passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. ]]> 2018-12-11 03:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244013 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244071 https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/march-on-washington]]> 2018-12-11 03:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244071 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244330 http://countrystudies.us/iran/21.htm]]> 2018-12-11 03:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244330 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244444 2018-12-11 03:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244444 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244550 2018-12-11 03:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313244550 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313246604 A similarity from Black Friday  compared to Bloody Sunday and the March on Washington is the significance of the aftermath from these events. In Black Friday's case this event was in the downward leadership by the Shah while these two other events were the catalysts to other events. For Bloody Sunday, the protest led to the passing of the Voting Rights Acts. And for the March on Washington, this protest was the final act in the Civil Rights Movement at The Civil Rights Act would be passed just months after. ]]> 2018-12-11 03:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313246604 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313247950 The big difference between Black Friday and Bloody Sunday compared to the March on Washington was the reason of why it became so famous. Black Friday and Bloody Sunday became famous for the amount of blood that was shed during the protests, and this kind of world bad new travels fast so this type of event spread like a wildfire. But the March on Washington was famous not because of violence, it became famous for the content in the protest like speeches and the sheer amount of people that went to this protest. ]]> 2018-12-11 03:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313247950 paulduncan https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313248375 2018-12-11 03:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/paulduncan/y8kcxn5ghlup/wish/313248375
