7.02 Peace or Power Assignment

Freedom Summers

Moreover, Freedom Summers were quite successful within the whole concept of the Civil Rights Movement in helping break racial barriers of segregation and discrimination. Freedom Summers eventually led to the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which terminated a ban against African Americans voting.

In 1964, this was the attempt to register the most possible Afriecan Americans in the Mississippi elections. This of which was typically frowned upon for African Americans to vote. The SNCC assisted in the spread of this cause all around small churches and gathering places all across Mississippi. Support was spread throughout college campuses and speakers came and preached on influence on behalf of African Americans voting.

Freedom Rides

I would be led to believe that Freedom Rides were successful, in which President John F. Kennedy helped end segregation in public transportation, also by removing any and all discriminatory signs and rulings.

The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) directed by James Farmer, a few affiliates of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) along with the one and only Martin Luther King, Jr. led the majority of these freedoms rides- part-taking in nonviolent protesting. These rides were attacked and bombed, thought the police never ended up doing anything about it.

Constitutional rights advocates, "Freedom riders," defiied the unrelenting isolation of municipal transportation in the Southern regions. A national verdict was aligned with seperated transportation, thought the means of this federal ruling was in existence, it was not imposed.

Nonviolent Protesting

March on Washington

Nonviolent protests are much more efffective in my opinion. It provides an efffective way in attempting to make change, while being ciivilly obediant.

In 1963, over 200,000 people gathered to march to Washington D.C. on behalf of racial segregation and discrimination. They resonated tunes of demands and freedom. Joined together from the National Urban League and various southern unions help create this momentus, victorious day. The March on Washington eventually ended at the Lincoln Memorial where those participating listened carefully to social leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. himself. All-in-all. this event was indeed successful, in which it was remembered to be one of the most significant events in the Civil Rights Movement.
