- ...All man shall be created equal
- 1860s
- Although the Declaration of Independence said that all men were created equal it wasn't until the 1960s when that statement was true. Even today, people still face discrimination.
- Late 1700s
- I'm Abraham Lincoln, and I am going to sign the emancipation procolimation. The 13th amendment outlawing slavery will soon be added to the US Constitution
- Right....
- Well, slavery is abolished, but the South came up with the "Black Codes" so I still have to work because I didn't sign a labor contract.
- Get to work! I gave you a break 2 weeks ago!!!
- 1865 & 1866
- Early 1800s
- But... I thought all men were created equal
- I guess the 13th amendment should have been worded better, now if we don't sign labor contracts we risk jail and unpaid labor
- Harriet Tubman was a key figure in helping slaves escape to the North.
- I can't believe the South created the black codes... These laws institute another form of slavery!
- We need a voice, this has to end.
- Mid 1800s
- 1868-1870
- I'll do it. I'm going to get off this plantation and help slaves get to the north by train.
- In the 1800s, slavery was prominet in the South. The North condemned slavery, but didn't do much to stop it.
- Don't worry! We will pass the 14th amendment which will make it illegal for the south to make laws targeting African Americans, then we will pass the 15th amendment!
- What is the south thinking? Our Founding Fathers created everyone equal. We must stop slavery
- Sorry Sir, but I can't allow you to ride that bus... Just doing my job and enforcing the Jim Crowe Laws...
- The North condemed the Southern's having slaves.
- Early 1900s
- Mid 1800s
- We need to elect a president who will end slavery for good
- What about the 14th amendment?
- Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, but it did not stop the inequality of African Americans in the US
- There shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin
- 1964, MLK "I had a Dream Speech"
- 1940s-President Truman, executive order 9981
- "Now it is time to make justice a reality for all of God's children"
- Presdent Truman's executive order for equality was often over looked by the Southern States.
- You're right... separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. We must overturn Plessy v. Ferguson
- Slavery was abolished, but the black codes were established in the Southern States forcing African Americans to sign "work" contracts and if they did not, they would be thrown in jail or forced into unpaid labor.
- 1954; Brown v. Board
- 1964
- Your Honor, Plessy v. Fergusion is unequal, it is time for change.
- President Johnson, we will consider this act, but it first must pass through congress
- Colored Section
- The 14th and 15th amendement were influential in the fight for equality. The South could no longer pass laws that were only directed towards African Americans. African American men were also granted suffrage through the 15th amendment after.
- Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus to a white man. The generated attention from all around the US.
- I'm in the colored section, I refuse to give my seat up.
- 1964, Civil Rights Act, originally proposed by JFK
- 1955
- I'm gonna have to ask you for your seat
- Look out! It looks like that man is about to throw food at us
- The 14th amendment did not stop the south from passing the Jim Crowe laws which enforced strict segregation.
- Hopefully this will result in more non-violent protests arounf the South demanding civil rights
- Opinion
- 1960, Woolworth's sit in
- The Woolworth's sit in in Greensboro, NC was a catalysit to the "Sit in Movement" that spread to more than 55 cities in 13 states.
- Wow, why didn't we think of this sooner?
- The NAACP interest group has become influential in policy making for Civil Rights
- MLK was extrememly influential in the fight for African Americans Rights. The NAACP and their lobbyists were influential in getting Civil Rights Acts passed.
- We must abolish poll tax to reduce the voting gap and encourage more African Americans to the polls
- The abolition of poll tax was key in encouraging African Americans to the polls.
- The 24th Amendement is passed!
- The Civil Rights Act will prohibit discrimination of all kinds based on race, color, religion, or national origin. The law also provides the federal government with the powers to enforce desegregation.
- The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was one of the most sweeping Civil Rights legislations in history. The act prohibits discrimination based off of religion and nationality as well. The law also gave the federal government power to enforce desegregation. In my opinion, I think the act was necessary in the fight for equality. Although President Truman signed an executive order on equality, it didn't work. Race relations also improved by large margins after the act was passed.
