This movement had for  goal to protest against the racial discriminations by using a non-violent protest so that whites wouldn't have any excuses to use violence against them. This movement started when Rosa Parks refused to let a white person seats where she was. She then went to trial but it is because of her that the bus boycott started . This boycott managed to end segregation in buses. After this, to end segregation in  schools, a group of black children named the Little Rock Nine had the courage to go sign in, in a white only university. The government's army had to come to the scene because the poor children were attacked by angry white people.  Martin Luther King also fight a lot for black's rights with his wonderful speeches such as 'I have a dream" Even if African Americans had more and more rights,violent racist group like the Ku Klux Klan started to burn down black's houses and to kill them. But, overall, the civil rights movement helped black people to become accepted in the nation and to be almost as important as white people.]]> 2020-05-14 12:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572523107 https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572571097 The civil rights mouvement of the 1950s ended segregation in schools and public spaces. This mostly started when African Americans realised that black kids went to a much cheaper school than white kids. For example, most of the White schools had buses while the black schools didn't. Many things happened during this mouvement like the abolishment of Jim Crow, Little Rock Nine and Rosa Parks' arrest. 
This mouvement was achieved with non-violent protests and because of it, African Americans were treated more equally than ever.

The action started in 1955 when Rosa Parks arrestation started the Montgomery bus boycott which ended up with the end of the segregated buses. Then, Brown vs Board of education led to the end of segregation in schools and to Little Rock Nine. Even if Africans Americans had more and more rights, white people were still violent with them and considered themselves as superior and killed black people with lynching or formed violent racist groups as the Ku Klux Klan. After a lot of marches and speeches as the famous "I have a dream" of Martin Luther King Jr., black people are allowed to vote without any literacy test. They are equal in front of justice and there is no more segregation. America made a big step towards equality and justice.]]> 2020-05-14 13:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572662738 https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572709068 The civil rights movement of the 1950s was a non-violent protest against racial segregation and discrimination. It started in 1955 when a woman called Rosa Parks was arrested because she refused to obey the law and she sitted in a whites only area in a bus. Some people revolted against this injustice and they managed to stop segregation in transports. After this, some black parents started to revolt against the fact that their black children could only go to black only schools which were far away from their house, this led to the Brown Versus Board, and the end of the segregation schools.
Some black people are still suffering from injustices and from racism in everyday life, they are doing some peaceful revolts and some marches like the one with Luther King.

This non-violent movement started with the Montgomery bus boycott in which African Americans boycotted the buses because Rosa Parks, a black women, had been arrested for sitting in the wrong row. Thanks to this pacific revolt, segregation was abolished in the public transports. Many others peaceful movements took place in orther to fight for equality such as the Brown versus Board of education movement that ended segregation in public  schools. Finally, segregation was completely achieved during the big march that took place thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. and in which black people owned the right to vote. Even if the Civil Right Movement ended segregation and made the two races equal in rights, there were still issues that divided up America.]]> 2020-05-14 14:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572860020 https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572883455 In America during the 1950's, African Americans were free, however, because of Segregation, they were socially inferior to whites. Achieving Civil Rights was a long non-violent journey for them and it started with the Montgomery Bus boycott, after Rosa Parks, an African-American women was arrested for refusing to let her seat to a white person once the bus was full. The next step was to try and end the school segregation which was a success during the Brown V.S. Board case and students as the Little Rock Nine were admitted into white-only schools even though they were treated badly there. Other examples of pacific actions were the March of Washington, the Freedom Rides and the monopolisation of white lunch counters. The African-Americans did not stop their seek for Civil Rights even with the violences of racists because they were motivated by their leaders, like Martin Luther King Jr. and their speeches like"I have a dream". The African-Americans eventually achieved their Civil rights and equality but struggle, even today and fight racism.]]> 2020-05-14 14:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/572883455 https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/577661621 In the 1950's , the Civil Rights Movement achieved the end of Segregation in public places in the United States such as in transportation, schools...  This was possible with the engagement of non-violent African Americans protesters like the Montgomery Bus boycott pursuant to Rosa Parks's arrest, many pacific marches like the March on Washington organized by Martin Luther King Jr, sit-ins like in Greensboro, the Freedom Rides...  African Americans children feeled inferior to white children because they were separated in schools. In fact, African American children needed to go on a long bus ride to go to their black school while white -only schools were closer. With Brown v. Board case, the Supreme Court decided that "separate but equal doctrine" rendered in the Plessy v. Ferguson case had no place in education because it generated  a feeling of inferiority to black chldren and deprived them of equal protection under the 14th Amendment. It made Segragation in schools illegal. Thebnext year the Court ordered public schools to desegrate with a delibarate speed.
The Civil Rights Movement had succeeded to put an end to many inequalities ; however, nowadays, African Americans still endure racism and discrimination. Several Hate Crime cases are deferred before tribunals and judged every year.

Before and during that movement, African Americans struggled in many ways because of all the inequalities they had to face due to their origins. One of the main exampe, among others, is the segregation in public spaces, such as restaurants, libraries, buses, schools...
Step by step, and using different methods, the Civil Rights Movement managed to achieve equqlity in different areas. For example, to obain school equality, there was a trial, that led to blacks and whites schools, and the Little Rocks Nine for high schools. For the buses, the Rosa Parks case (she refused to led her seat to a white person) led to the bus boycott of Montgomery, which led to desegragation in buses. The sit-ins in restaurants libraries ect... led to desegregation in many ublic spaces. The Freedom rides did the same, and the March, the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr, and the medias also helped people to understand the importamceof racial equality. Overall, the Civil Rights Movement managed to achieve equality in a very non-violent way. However, it still had to face many big issues, such as economic equality, and nowadays African Americans still suffer racial injustices : recently, in New York, the NYPD has been attacking black people in a very violent way, because "they weren't respecting the coronavirus restrictions". However, at the opposite side of the city, white people also weren't respecting these restrictions, but the NYPD didn't attack them, they just gave them masks.]]> 2020-05-17 12:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/577737030 https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/581749537 The Civil Rights mouvement took place in the 1950’. It was against racism and segregation. Segregation of public places such has restaurants, schools, buses... was battled with sit-ins and boycotts. Major personalities of this period are Rosa Park and Martin Luther King. Rosa Park started the movement against segregation but sitting on a white seat in a bus. Matin Luther King delivered famous speeches, the most famous is “I had a dream...” . 
The Civil Rights accomplished a lot of things and have allowed the advance of racial acceptation. The African Americans had for example, the right to vote and non segregated schools.]]> 2020-05-19 07:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/581749537 https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/581929320 In the 1950's the Civil Rights Movement achieved the end of segregation in many public spaces and the right to vote for black people. To do so, many protests were lead in different kind of areas. The first and most remembered one is from Rosa Parks in the bus. She sat in a white's place on a public bus and refused to move from her seat to give it to a white person. So, more people started showing their disapprovement with the segregational laws. For example, a group of boys went in a bar and sat there all day eventhough they were not allowed to be served anything because they were black. Throughout all these pacific protestations, segregation in many public spaces came to an end. In addition, Martin Lutherking's speech was a revelation in history. The repetition of "I have a dream" showed how the equality of the "two races" had to be achieved peacefully and that it could be accomplished. There were also marches, more sit-ins in other places and freedom rides. Almost everything got accomplished however, there were still major differences between black and white people such as equality in economy. Today, nevertheless, black people still get discriminated, mainly because of their skin color, and how they are "different".]]> 2020-05-19 09:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/arbour/zn8ey5h4gu02h79x/wish/581929320
