                  someone significant?

           Think about what significant means..
  Think about individual people that you would regard as
      significant and think about why you think that

 1. Sufficiently great or important to be worthy of
  attention

Boycott would have occurred, because King did
not initiate it. Black Students..had sources of
tactical and ideological inspiration besides King.
Professor Clayborne Carson
 As you can probably tell there is divided opinion over
  the role played by Martin Luther King in the Civil
  Rights Movement
 Some believing he was the most instrumental figure in
  the Movement during its key developments of the
  1950s and 60s,
 Whilst others believe that his role was not as great as
  some argue and that the movement would have
  succeeded with or without King.
 The civil rights movement was a worldwide political
  movement (But mainly refers to the USA) for equality of
  oppressed minorities (mainly on racial grounds) occurring
  between approximately 1950 and 1980. In many situations it
  took the form of campaigns of Civil Resistance aimed at
  achieving change through non violent acts.

 Some activists used violent methods.

 The process was long and tenuous in many countries, and
  many of these movements did not fully achieve their goals
  although, the efforts of these movements did lead to
  improvements in the legal rights of previously oppressed
  groups of people.

 The first white settlers in American was White British
    and Europeans.
   Those in the southern states liked slavery and those
    on the north didnt.
    When whites moved westward to new land the
    question of whether to allow slavery in these lands
    was raised.
   The Republican Party and its leader Abraham Lincoln
    were opposed to the expansion of slavery whilst the
    south were in favour of it. The South in Protest to
    Lincoln becoming President set up their own nation
    called the Confederation States of America (the
    Confederacy)
   Lincoln sent northern armies to bring the south back
    to the United States which caused the Civil War.
   Lincoln introduced the Emancipation Act in 1962 and
    was passed by Congress after his death in 1865  this
    abolished slavery.

    significance
 Once Blacks were freed from slavery, whites were
  looking for ways to assert their dominance and keep
  their lives separate from those of blacks.
 By separating blacks in all forms of life such as
  schooling, housing, bars, work, public
  spaces, transport  whites could still discriminate and
  victimise black people.

 De Facto Segregation  Segregation in fact rather than
  in the law
 De Jure Segregation  Segregation set out in the Laws

    especially as Trumans ideas were deliberately

 CORE director James Farmer explained

              we planned the freedom rides to create a crisis. We were
              counting on the bigots in the south to do the work for us. We
              figured the government would have to respond if we created a
              situation that was headline news all over the world.




 Significance  although CORE initiated the Freedom
 Rides, King used them to unite CORE, the SCLC and
 SCNC and to work together. It worked to get Attorney
 General Bobby Kennedy (JFKs brother) to enforce the
 Supreme rulings on Interstate travel desegregation
 King described Birmingham as by far Americas worst
 big city for racism  he knew that the citys Public
 safety commissioner Bull OConnor was a hot-
 tempered, determined segregationist who had clashed
 with Eleanor Roosevelt years before.

               to cure injustices you must expose
               them before the light of human
               conscience and the bar of public
               opinion.
 The SCLCs actions in Birmingham
  were carefully planned  King was
  leading rather than being led.
 As Police and their dogs turned on
  protestors, King continued to march
  knowing his arrest would gain
  national attention and inspire others.
  This was where he wrote his
  inspirational Letter from a
  Birmingham jail.
 Birmingham was headline news 
  Connors water hoses tore clothes off
  students backs. The SCLC succeeded
  its aims of filling the jails
 Birmingham was the first time King really led the
  movement
 there was never a more skilful manipulation of the
  news media than in Birmingham. SCLC Staff member
 The Kennedy administration admitted that
  Birmingham was crucial in persuading them to pass
  the Civil Rights act of 1964.

          we are on the threshold of a
          significant breakthrough
          and the greatest weapon is
          mass demonstrations.

 Despite the success of Washington Kings Leadership
 was still criticised

 King was indecisive in deciding whether the SCLC

  more glamorous direct action.

 States that outlawed major forms of discrimination
 against racial, ethnic, national and religious
 minorities, and women. It ended unequal application
 of voter registration requirements and racial
 segregation in schools, at the workplace and by
 facilities that served the general public
 King had fought for Freedom in the traditional sense
  of a right to vote  this had been achieved by the 1964
  Civil Rights Act
 Now he now began to define freedom in the form of
  economic equality.  he now called for a better
  distribution of wealth in the USA. He now embarked
  on his Poor People Campaign.

 King was finding it very hard to keep Blacks from rioting and causing
  violence in their frustration
 People were also beginning to be influenced by the growing influence
  of the Black Panthers/Black Power Movement.
 There were huge divisions between the SCLC, SNCC, CORE and
  NAACP as they disagreed about tactics - led to failed protest
  campaigns in Chicago and Meredith in 1966
 Leadership of the movement was slipping from king and going towards
  more extremist leaders like Stokely Carmichael
