Louisiana Protest
To hear about the situation in Louisiana blew my mind. Its hard to believe that in one century white people could be malicious and have so much hatred towards the blacks (and it be fine), but then when 6 blacks attack one white boy the whole town will fight against them. No one stopped to help any of the 9 at Little Rock when they were being attacked. The 9 were attacked by not only the students, the whole town! This one white boy was only being beat by SIX people! It doesnt make it right to do, but the 9 had a whole town against them doing everything violent, and there wasnt anything thought to be wrong. If it was vice versa and 9 white teens were being picked on, everyone would know about it, and everyone would fight to stop it.
Topic 11 Study Guide
MLK and Civil Disobedience- Martin Luther King Jr believed that if someone hits you, never hit back. If you hug them, it will have a better impact then lowering to their level.
Power of the "Mob"- If there is more than one person, it is most likely easier to complete your mission. On the opposite side, it is much easier to destroy an organization with violence.
Plessy v. Ferguson vs. Brown v. Board of Education- This deals with Brown's daughter not being able to go to the closest school to where they lived because it was a "white" school. So she'd have to she'd have to travel just to get to class on a daily basis. Brown's argument was they should have the right to go to each school and attacked the law of "separate but equal." Brown's argument was accounted for and became a law, although each school could have as much time as they wanted to become segregated.
Civil Rights Goals- To end segregation and make everything EQUAL and NOT separated.
Eisenhower’s Role in Little Rock- He called in the military to help the 9 enter the school without harm. This process was against the orders of Orvill Faubus and the National Gaurd
Chavez and the United Farm Workers- Chavez organized two strikes, boycotted grapes, and was anti-immigration. He fought for the Mexican-American's rights
FHA and ADA- FHA is the Fair Housing Act. This act outlaws refusal to sell a home because of race, color, etc. ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act. This act provides facilities for the disabled americans. For example, ramps instead of stairs, larger bathrooms, shorter water fountains, etc.
Purpose of Filibusters- To convince others to fight for what is right and what they believe in. When Martin Luther King Jr made his remarkable speech, many people became followers on his views on the situation.
Sit-Ins and Other Protests- The sit-ins were when any person (not only african americans) would sit down, pick up and menu, and wait to be served. If they werent served, they would just sit there while people would throw stuff at them. The Montgomery Boycott was when the blacks refused to ride any bus. They would carpool or walk before spend a dime to ride in the back of the bus.

I Am*Proudly One Of The Little Rock Nine
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I wonder how it would feel to be a white student
I hear them talking about my skin color
I see the other eight trembling in fear
I want to be accepted
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I pretend that what they say doesn't effect me
I feel the segregation between our races
I need support from my fellow race
I worry that school will never be safe
I cry only when I am in the protection of my own home
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I understand the past
I believe it should change
I dream we will one day be harmonious
I try to ignore the hatred
I hope they will soon accept me
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
