Racism In The 1800s

Racism We all know that racism occurs everywhere. It goes around schools, work, and around public as well.But, did you ever wonder what happened before? The struggle that the blacks were in to. Especially the kids as well. That’s why I’m going to explain every detail that has occurred in racism. I will be explaining the right to vote, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Jim Crow Laws, and the Board v. Brown of Education. Be
-cause we all know that during this time period,it was terrible. Let’s start off with The Civil rights Movement. The Civil Rights Movement was lead by Martin Luther King Jr. The Civil Rights begun in 1954 through 1968. All what he wanted was to create non-violence.The Civil Rights movement was located in Alabama.This
This got the name from Jim Crow. It was a derisive slang term for a black man. It came to mean that the law established different rules for blacks and whites.The Jim Crow laws started at the end of Reconstruction in 1877 and at the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. What were the Jim Crow laws? They were laws that segregated or separated the blacks from whites at any public place. Such as: schools, military,, housing, transportation, restrooms, water fountains, etc. If these rules were broken, the blacks would have to face punishment for entering places for whites only. These laws then followed the Black Codes in 1800-1866. Which had previously restricted the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of African Americans.

This was one the most effective piece of civil rights legislation ever in this country. This act only allowed mostly the whites to vote. It would not let the blacks vote. One event that outraged many Americans occurred on March 7, 1965, when peaceful participants in a voting rights march from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery were met by Alabama state troopers who attacked them with nightsticks, tear gas and whips after they refused to turn back. Lastly, we have the Brown v. Board of Education.This was a case for the United States Supreme Court. But, Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP Legal Defense also handled this case as well. This law established separating public schools for the blacks and the whites. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education.
As a result given on May 17, 1954, the Warren’s Court decision stated that separating the blacks and whites is unequal.This was also a rule violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th
