The civil Rights movement had been growing over the years as Moody also grew up and became more aware for her environment and social interactions. Reasons Moody joined the civil rights movement Moody joined the civil rights movement in order to deal with various issues that affected the black community in terms of being accorded equal rights with the white people, in other words known as racism. Moody and the fellow young people believed that they would only implement change and make a difference by joining the civil rights movement. They believed that their people required freedom from oppression from the white people. In order to achieve the freedom they believed they would only attain this freedom by joining the civil rights movement.
They would lay out plans to have equal rights with the whites. Dubois was a dominate figure in the demand for total equality not a gradual equality like is rival Booker T Washington. Dubois wanted a stern method to have equality for all. The Niagara movement laid the foundation for the civil rights movement that was to come. He empowered blacks through the meetings to stand up for
W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington were two great leaders of the black community in the late 19th and 20th century. However, they disagreed on strategies for black social and economic progress. Though they disagreed both black men faced the same obstacle of how to end class and racial injustice, and to achieve first-class citizenship for blacks. At this time first-class citizenship was determined by at least three aspects political power, civil rights, and the higher education of blacks.
Booker T Washington believed that in order to have an equal society the blacks and other minorities that were slaved had to work with and not against the whites. Form a symbiotic relationship where all could benefit and become equal. Once they had training and
Green also repeatedly reiterates the phrase “let us.” By referring to the audience as one entity it makes the bond that they share, being African American, stronger because it shows that they are all in this together and share the same experiences. He says the word “us” instead of “you” because he is deeply involved in this movement for African Americans to be part of the Union and he is also one of them. The saying “let us” that he uses is to illustrate that they must take action if they want to see a change. The repetition that Green uses stresses the relentless demand for African Americans to take up arms in the Civil
Through out the history of African American people struggle for freedom, the struggle took many forms of riots, rebels by leaders who differed in methods but had the same aims. The nonviolent form took the struggle into a new era of struggle techniques. The nonviolent approach which shaped the struggle in 1950's and 1960's led the blacks to get their civil rights. The approach was orchestrated by Martin Luther King Jr., mostly in Alabama and Georgia. King's nonviolent dogma was the solution for the blacks' desire for freedom, but was opposed to other leaders' doctrines of violent and militant acts.
Similarly to the first all-black trade community in which Randolph established, due to the fact they knew their voices would not be heard. Therefore individuals, such as Randolph, in America during this period were the key to spreading of ideas, which would therefore unite people and give the Civil Rights Movement the true push into society that was desperately called for, in order for a better future for African Americans. Raising black consciousness like Garvey did so that it was believed to take pride in their heritage and go against the discrimination in America. There were many important individuals from 1877-1945, some such as A. Philip Randolph, Marcus Garvey, Du Bois, Roy Wilkins and Eleanor Roosevelt directly who were working to change the situation for African Americans, and others such as the poet Langston Hughes, jazz musician Duke Ellington and boxer Joe Louis which helped spread black pride and boost morale. However, one of the most well-known, and influential, black individuals to come out of this period of time was Marcus Garvey.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been the most effective legal tool at eliminating private-sector discrimination. Over time, the act has gained broad public support, and I think defines for many Americans what is the government role in eliminating discrimination. Firstly the act was important to bring a better day for African Americans because the Amendment didn't protect black people from their civil rights that were being violated by individuals. This was a start for the civil rights movement, Blacks had wanted to be equal like everyone else for over 100 years. They were suffering from social inequalities.
A leader’s platform will either succeed or fail based upon the opinions of those who are following the leader. There are no absolute guarantees that a particular platform will provide all the correct answers and bring world peace as people might expect, but a leader must be chosen nonetheless. When discussing the social conditions that black people endured in the early 20th century in America, one has to admit there was a lot to be desired. Not too many years removed from slavery, black people were striving to make a place in American society with the hopes of being accepted by white America. As such black people struggled on many levels.
The African-Americans fought long and hard to achieve their civil rights, educational rights, and social equality; and not only did it benefit them, it benefitted for the good of all. The achievements of historic courageous African-Americans opened up opportunities to the future African-American community, and ultimately, to other ethnic minorities. Without their struggle and persistent endeavor, African-Americans and ethnic minorities may still be living in a day and age of oppression and inequality. Their achievements not only deemed beneficial to the people of American, but also economically and socially, blooming America into a technological era, but I digress. As a result of the Civil Rights Movement, we now live in a day of age of more liberal thinking and flexible perspectives, but still lack certain freedom.
