    In Texas Case Study Fairclough

    They lacked willing volunteers, and those that applied did not possess the academic qualifications. In Chapter Two of Lavergne’s book, he describes the key NAACP figures who were prominent in the selection process: William J. Durham would become the resident counsel in Texas, A. Maceo Smith the state’s NAACP leader and executive secretary, Carter W. Wesley the Houston Informer publisher, Kenneth Lampkin an Austin attorney, Lulu White the NAACP's state director of branches, and Thurgood Marshall. Marshall was the lead NAACP Council, who presided over the Murray case and later become the lead Council for Sweatt case arguing before the Supreme Court. Gillette’s article describes the difficulties in selecting a qualified plaintiff. Lulu White would eventually find the candidate. During an event at Wesley Chapel, “Lulu White spoke to a group of Houston blacks, appealing for a volunteer to file a lawsuit against the university. When no one else showed a willingness to do so, Sweatt stood up and announced that he would.” Thus began Heman Marion Sweatt involvement with the NAACP, to end segregation in Texas by applying admittance to the UT Law…

    Plessy vs. Ferguson: The Battle of the NAACP and Thurgood Marshall

    The NCAA and Thurgood Marshall battled to overturn Plessy v. Ferguson by breaking down the ¡°Separate but Equal¡± ruling and attacking the ¡°separate¡± before directly attacking Plessy v. Ferguson. In Plessy v. Ferguson, a 30 year old shoemaker named Homer Plessy was jailed for sitting in a ¡°White¡± car of a railroad. Plessy argued that the Separate Car Act violated the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution. However all attempts in desegregating the railroad cars were refused and Homer Plessy was found guilty. Justice Henry Brown declared that the 13th Amendment had nothing to do with the case and only to abolish slavery, and that the purpose of the 14th Amendment was to enforce equality between the two races but could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color. So came the ultimate ruling that ¡°Separate was equal.¡± However, groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) led by Thurgood Marshall led the attempts to overturn Plessy v. Ferguson and it¡¯s ¡°Separate but Equal¡± ruling. The NAACP did not directly attack Plessy v. Ferguson because they did not have the support needed to overturn such an important case. Therefore, the NAACP started out by taking several small cases that consisted of segregation in elementary schools and middle schools. The NAACP argued that if African Americans were getting a separate education from Whites, even if both school had the same building and the same books, their education would not be equal because they would not be learning from the same teachers or interacting with the same classmates. The NAACP slowly began winning more and more court cases to win desegregation within certain states. Nonetheless, the greater problem lay in the Supreme Court completely overturning Plessy v. Ferguson and abolishing ¡°Separate but Equal.¡± Eventually, with the support of many citizens who were willing to testify for the cause of desegregation, the…

    Why Black Lives Matter Resonated Analysis

    In “Why Black Lives Matter Resonates” Leonard Pitts states his belief that Martin Luther King Jr. would be happy with the “Black Lives Matter” campaign because it is beneficial for African-Americans. Pitts writes about the counter campaign, “All Lives Matter,” as being a disgrace to the civil rights movement, and concurring that Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t be a part of it. I cannot agree with Leonard Pitts’ conclusion that King would be completely for “Black Lives Matter” and not completely for “All Lives Matter” because I believe if King were here today he would be advocating for equality of all people.…

    D. LULAC: After The Chicano Movement

    LULAC-contributions: After the Mexican War, thousands of Mexicans became U.S. citizens. Years after years these individuals were subject to discrimination and segregation. LULAC was actually founded before the Chicano Movement in 1929 it is currently the oldest Hispanic rights organization. Schools were segregated during the Chicano movement it was actually legal to segregate students. Many of these schools were given uneducated teachers, no resources, the worst possible way to learn in a school. The schools themselves were in the worst condition possible, funding was distributed to the rich zones never the poor. Another reason for LULAC is the way Mexican Americans were portrayed by society. They were viewed for some reason as lazy people,…

    NAACP vs. Alabama: A Brief

    I. Facts: In an effort to oust the NAACP from operating in the state, Alabama accused the NAACP of failing to comply with a state statute that required foreign corporations to register with the state before operating, which had been violated when the organization began operating in Alabama in 1914. After the organization tendered the necessary documentation, Alabama refused to accept it and instead ordered the release of the names and addresses of all member and agents of the organization living in the state. After only releasing the names of directors and officers in the state, the NAACP was found in contempt and fined $100,000. The NAACP appealed the decision of the state courts (which sided with the state government) to the Supreme Court, arguing that the Fourteenth Amendment protected the freedom of speech and assembly from discrimination.…

    The Petitioner's Brief In Sweatt V. Painter, 1950

    In “The Petitioner’s Brief in Sweatt v. Painter, 1950”, the document explained the NAACP arguments as they were before the Supreme Court. Essentially, it explored three arguments that the NAACP would later employ in future cases regarding segregation. Reprinted within Waldo E. Martin Jr.’s, “Brown v. Board of Education: A Brief History with Documents”, it offers key insight into the arguments the NAACP used in the Supreme Court. The first argument relates to whether schools established for Blacks fulfills the Equal Protection Clause. The NAACP lawyers made a distinction as they realized that many states in the country do not have the issue of racial segregation in schools. The lawyers referenced a report from the President’s Commission on Higher…

    Apush Dbq Reconstruction

    The divisions inside the African‐American people group on how best to accomplish correspondence were reflected in the unique methods of insight of two men: Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois. (Documents, 49). The organizer of the Tuskegee Institute (1882), a farming and professional preparing school in Alabama, Washington trusted that blacks ought to focus on financial self‐improvement as opposed to on requesting social uniformity and social liberties. After he laid out his perspectives in a discourse in Atlanta in 1895, which incorporated an obvious acknowledgment of segregation as something viable. On the other hand, he trusted that instruction for blacks needed to incorporate more than taking in an exchange, and he requested access to advanced education. In fact, Du Bois trusted it would be this informed African‐American world class that would lead the best approach to equality by utilizing the right to vote in states where they could vote and "protest," or challenge, where they unable to cast suffrage. (The Meaning…,…

    Jim Crow And Segregation Analysis

    According to the article “Jim Crow and segregation” says the Jim Crows are just a set list of laws that violated blacks as human beings. When one thinks of the past, many images come to mind. One of the most prominent images of the early twentieth century in the South was the COLORED and WHITE signs that dotted the landscape across the South. They were separated from everything from water fountains to restaurants and even churches. I read a story of 2 young boys ages 12 and 13, Who walked into a restaurant to eat some lunch, And they were mobbed by all of the white people in the restaurant and severely beat up over the fact that they did not see the white only sign on the front door. This was just one incident back in the day.. Blacks all…
