The Civil Rights Movementin the USA was a pivotal... Show more
Civil rights organizations played a crucial role in structuring and advancing the movement:
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People , established in 1909, focused on:
Highlight: The NAACP's efforts led to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, which legally enforced school desegregation.
The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was formed to give young people a voice in the movement:
Vocabulary: Freedom Rides were bus trips through the Southern United States to protest segregation in interstate bus terminals.
These organizations provided the structural backbone for the Civil Rights Movement, although some, like the SNCC, became more radical over time and eventually disbanded.
Despite progress, prejudice and discrimination persisted:
The case of Oliver Brown v. Board of Education in 1952 challenged school segregation:
Example: While schools were desegregated, restaurants and other public spaces often remained segregated for years afterward.
The tragic murder of Emmett Till in 1955 highlighted the extreme racism still present:
Highlight: The death of Emmett Till, while tragic, served as a catalyst for growing support for the Civil Rights Movement.
The Civil Rights Movement saw the rise of several influential Black leaders who continued to push for equality:
Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott:
Definition: The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a civil rights protest in which African Americans refused to ride city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, to protest segregated seating.
Ralph Abernathy's leadership:
These leaders built upon King's legacy and helped realize the impact of the Civil Rights Movement:
Highlight: The emergence of diverse leadership within the Civil Rights Movement ensured its continuity and effectiveness even after the loss of prominent figures like Martin Luther King Jr.
The Civil Rights Movement gained momentum in response to the discriminatory Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States. These laws enforced segregation in public spaces, including schools and cafes, shocking many in the North and fueling the desire for change.
Definition: Jim Crow laws were state and local statutes that legalized racial segregation in the Southern United States.
A. Philip Randolph's efforts to pressure the president for fair employment practices marked an early victory for Black Americans in gaining equitable income and job opportunities.
Highlight: President Truman's Executive Order 9981 in 1948 was a significant step, desegregating the U.S. military and allowing Black officers to lead troops.
The experiences of Black servicemen in World War II played a crucial role in advancing the civil rights cause:
Example: While Black officers could lead all-Black troops, white officers could lead any troops, highlighting the persistent inequality.
Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as a central figure in the Civil Rights Movement, with his leadership and oratory skills inspiring millions:
Quote: "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" - Martin Luther King Jr.
King's tactics included:
While King's contributions were significant, some argue that the movement was too "King-centric," overshadowing the efforts of other important figures and organizations.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7.
