civil rights

The Civil right movement was a big part of history, if it wasn’t for the Civil rights I would not be able to go to school, the movies, library, or do any other things I would do with my friends. Emmitt Tilt’s death was a big part of the movement it really kicked it off, when Rosa Parks was told to get up out of her seat and let a white person sit there she refused she got kicked off the bus and arrested as she was being arrested she was saying something about Emmitt’s and his death. As one might say if it wasn’t for the death on Emmitt Tilt the Civil right movement would never have had happen. At the middle of the twentieth century, African Americans had to deal with white people’s hatred towards them it was not in fact all white people but the majority was plenty. Down in the south was where most of the movement has happened, white people would abuse both verbal and physically, rape, and kill them either but hanging them or kidnap them and would do horrible things do them. Being African American was not easy back then, African Americans did not have the freedom to choose where and how to live due to the effects of state sponsored restrictive legal binding contracts making it illegal to rent, sell, or lease housing to black people. World War II helped to lift the nation out the Great Depression. Yet African Americans found themselves now hated by the people around them. The segregation of black children in special schools, however, brought special criticism. Worldwide charges of American hypocrisy certainly played some part in the decision. But the climate of anti communism largely constrained most political battles to court while displacing the larger calls for freedom that included jobs, housing, land, and wealth. At the same time, courtroom success was quickly followed by waves of "massive resistance" by whites.
