Jena 6
I was astounded learning that this happened not to long ago, I mean the Jena 6 we're treated so unfairly even more than the Little Rock 9 since they we're arrested and prosecuted for attempt of murder. The Little Rock kids were just not allowed to enter but they had reienforcements from the US Military itself. But putting differences aside the similarities are just there so much, people in support of the both groups and people who would go out their way and hang lynches in the courtyard of the school. I mean they both also led rallies and support for the black community. Personally I see no difference beside there being less then at Little Rock.
MLK vs. Malcolm X
Alright just imaging them in their own respective corners at a boxing match, MLK wouldn't want to have to fight, yet Malcolm would come straight out swinging his arms, MLK would go in for the hug and accidently bump or hit Malcolm and he would kill MLK for laying a hand on him. Who wins? MLK he wouldn't stoop to fighting or killing and what would society think of Malcolm? Even less then what they already did. To basically summerize this imagery, Malcolm was more of an agressive leader than compared to MLK who would passively fight back for his rights and in society people like the pacifist better than the brute. So MLK to win.
Ideology is quite true
In parts of the world there are still discrimination, and lets say if we take an all white school and someone says people with blue eyes get better scores and by data it's also proven when students find out about it they will feel less for themselves, and ultimately they will see it as more work to do less work by trying to catch up with the blue eyed people. But in our school is has to deal more with where you live than what race you are. So I do believe that this very thing is happening right now.
Concept Guide
MLK & Civil disobedience
MLK was a good organizer for disobedience acts. He planned the boycott of the buses. He could get people to follow him plus all his acts were non violent ones. his way of fighting was to do absolutely nothing but a single task. Not just one person either but a whole community as well. Everyone had a role to play in these movements acts and they had to stick to it.
Civil Rights Goal
To give everyone equal rights. All colored people wanted to treated as equal as the whites did. Stop segregation and not be split up like they are now.
Eisenhower's Role in Little Rock
Governor sent the national guard to stop the Little Rock 9 from entering the school. President heard of this and sent the army to protect them and let them enter the School safely.
Rights of the accused
6th amendment requires that a defendant should have an attorney even if they cant afford them. Criminals have rights until they are thrown into jail. Dont need to answer anything until you have talked to your attorney. Criminals should know their rights before anything.
Brown V. Board of Education
This ignited the Civil Rights Movement. Oliver Brown sued Topeka on behalf of his daughter because she had to travel a distance to get to school on the other side of town when there is a school close by
Chavez and the UFW
Chavez is the voice of the 5 million latinos in the US. He was very well known. He started the Delano Grape Strike which boycotted the picking of grapes and caused a shortage of grapes and wine in California. Chavez was against illegal immigration because it could ruin the chances for the strikes and remove the older harder workers.
FHA and ADA
FHA states that it will not sell/rent land to buyers based on their color, race , or religion. ADA is to place or make facilities for those who are disable.
Sit-ins and protestAt the sit ins it was a form of civil disobediance basically saying no we're not going to let you take out seats because you're white, black, etc.
