This sparked the attention at they wanted and was a success resulting white people beginning to agree with them as well as African Americans starting to work together giving a stronger sense of community spirit. King was involved in the NAACP during this and was not leading similar to Albany where they again were trying to desegregate interstate travel through sit-ins and more boycotts. The main leader of this was the SNCC a group for younger students, However unlike Montgomery, Albany was a failure then in turn limiting life for African Americans as violence started which then gained them bad publicity, and the lack of federal intervention made the violence escalate even further, also the three main black activist groups (NAACP, SNCC, SCLC) failed to co-operate resulting to a failure in this campaign. In contrast to Albany, there was Birmingham where King was in the forefront and was leading the SCLC to what was this time a success in decreasing racism and segregation. Why did MLK choose Birmingham?
He did believe that the government should have the reins and be in control, but he always wanted the people of America with him every step of the way and to know what was going on. He never wanted them to not know what was going on and to never have to question what they were doing. In Document G, FDR says “The voice of great events is proclaiming to us. Reform if you would preserve.” Like stated earlier with Hoover, Conservatives are highly against change in government and want little to none to happen. Honestly though, sometimes it is the only way that you can improve.
After the effects of the Second World War which Black Americans had played such a key role in, President Truman felt obliged to commit to Civil Rights for Black Americans evident following the report ‘to secure these rights.’ Following the report's ,several initiatives were organised to achieve these rights, one of which was the signing of Executive Order 9980 and Executive Order 10308. These were crucial in improving the lives of Black Americans as they guaranteed fair employment practices in the Civil Services and that defence contracts would not go to companies that discriminated against Black Americans, hence empowering them in the workplace. However, some people argued that WW2 did not change anything and neither did the report ‘to secure these rights.’ This is because even though President Truman pushed for more civil rights there was not much funding due to a white government and a lack of support which therefore lead to these new Orders not being pushed through. Therefore resulting in De Jure as it could not be converted into De Facto change, which unfortunately happened with other Civil Rights organisations such as the NAACP, CORE and the
Just like these two there were many people who did not even like that there was a war in the first place but there was really no choice. Lincoln at one point did not even feel that he was capable enough of completely getting rid of slavery because he knew that it would cause problems in the future. He knew that abolishing slavery would turn the north and south against each other even more than it already had. (Pederson, Estell, & Kenneth, 1994). Just because he did not immediately take advantage of his position, probably do what any other would do today, and abolish slavery does not mean he supported it.
Despite this the changing mood surrounding civil rights inspired Truman to make a difference. Truman tried to get congress to continue funding the FEPC sadly this failed. Later in 1946 Truman established the liberal civil rights committee to secure these rights. He deliberately hired liberal people on the committee so that they would come back with the result that he wanted. They called for an anti lynching legislation, voting laws and a permanent FECP.
4.1 1. because they already had equal rights, by doing this they showed there support for the blacks and In doing this, they agreed their threatmeant was totally inhumane. 2. they were racist and weren’t used to blacks being treated equal 3. the people are curiousto what is happen, as well as anger and amazement. 4.3 1. blacks weren’t usually allowed to be served but they had vip cards. 2.

Gilgamesh never thought about how hard his people had it, and he would have continued to think that they had it easier than they really did. He would have never figured it out unless he had the experience, which he did thanks to Enkidu. In the end, Enkidu really changed Gilgamesh’s perspective on the world and they way things are when you’re not being waited on all the time. Enkidu made Gilgamesh realize that he had to help others out and can’t just be helped. He made him know what it was like to have a loving friend, and the devastation of loosing one.
With the changing of culture and passing of time, the fallout that was (and sometimes still is) hardest to cope with in the United States was racism. As time progressed and things would move from more primitive to more sophisticated design and ideas, slavery did the same. Slavery my have just been the most primitive form of racism, and as it was abolished the idea of another race being subordinate to another didn’t seem to dissipate. Instead it would seem that the “abolitionist movement” became the “civil rights movement”. Instead of the government allowing slavery, it looked like it found a loop hole to not treat people of color equally for anything whether it was sports, school or public facilities blacks were still treated as inferior.
Equality Opportunity’ in that the burdens of racism can only be overcome by taking race into account. Affirmative action also aims to reflect the racial diversity of the nation, the ‘Equality of Results’, within schools, the firm and the workplace. Despite being mainly supported by Democrats, and rejected by Republicans President Nixon played a significant role in affirmative action by instituting ‘set aside’ policies to reserve a certain percentage for minorities. The main advantage of affirmative action is that is leads to a greater diversity in societies main institutions, arguably this would not be achieved had things been left as they were. It is also argued on the basis of righting those previously wronged, by opening areas of education and employment that would not have previously been available to minorities.
Examples included voting rights and citizenship, and the founders passed this to the states to decide. According to Bowles, 2011, American History 1865 to present End of Isolation, though slavery was the underlying reason for the war, another central debate was the rights of states versus the powers of the federal government. While Republicans were strongly in favor of a stronger federal government, Johnson opposed this direction and wanted states to have more power, includ¬ing the southern states. Which basically meant, more blacks in the government ; Johnson disapproved. As Johnson and Congress wres¬tled with these issues, their clash came to somewhat of a head with a disagreement over the Freedman’s Bureau.
