What is the civil rights movement
• The civil rights movement was a worldwide movement for equality before the law occurring between approximately 1950s and 1980s.
The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. Between 1955 and 1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans. Forms of protest and civil Disobedienceincluded boycotts, "sit-ins" , marches and a wide range of other nonviolent activities.

高英第七册Unit 8 Text II Civil rights movement

Civil rights movementAlice WalkerHistorically, the civil rights movement was a concentrated period of time around the world of approximately twenty years (1960-1980) in which there was much worldwide civil unrest and popular rebellion. The process of moving toward equality under the law was long and tenuous in many countries, and most of these movements did not achieve or fully achieve their objectives. In its later years, the civil rights movement took a sharp turn to the radical left in many cases.Civil Rights Movement in the United StatesDuring the Civil Rights Movement, ordinary men and women challenged the nation to apply its founding values of justice, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to all citizens, regardless of skin color. From throughout the South women, men, and children of different social classes, educational levels, races, and religions united in a national effort to practice the principles of democracy, nonviolence, and civic action.In a relatively stable political system, after a status had been reached where every citizen has the same rights by law, practical issues of discrimination remain. Even if every person is treated equally by the state, there may not be equality because of discrimination within society, such as in the workplace, which may hinder civil liberties in everyday life. During the second half of the 20th century, Western societies introduced legislation that tried to remove discrimination on the basis of race, gender or disability. The Civil Rights Movement in the United States refers in part to a set of noted events and reform movements in that country aimed at abolishing public and private acts of racial discrimination and racism against African Americans between 1954 to 1968, particularly in the southern United States. It is sometimes referred to as the Second Reconstruction era.Later, groups like the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords, the Weathermen and the Brown Berets turned to more harsh tactics to make a revolution that would establish, in particular, self-determination for U.S. minorities— bids that ultimately failed due in part to a coordinated effort by the United States Government's COINTELPRO efforts to subvert such groups and their activities.The Civil Rights Movement was at a peak from 1955-1965. Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, guaranteeing basic civil rights for all Americans, regardless of race, after nearly a decade of nonviolent protests and marches, ranging from the 1955-1956 Montgomery bus boycott to the student-led sit-ins of the 1960s to the huge March on Washington in 1963.Remembering the Dream: Alice Walker, Meridian and the Civil Rights Movement"If the Civil Rights Movement is `dead,'(1) and if it gave us nothing else, it gave us each other forever," wrote Alice Walker in her first published essay, in 1967 (Gardens 128). Her statement is true for Walker as an African American woman and as a writer. The Movement reaffirmed African Americans' connection to each other as a people and to their history of struggle against oppression. The Movement also allowed Walker to claim her self--she has described herself as "called to life" by the Movement--and to claim the lives of African American women of the rural South as the subject of her fiction (Gardens 122). Walker grew up in rural Georgia, and, as a student at Spelman College from 1961 to 1962., she became involved in the Atlanta Movement, working at voter registration and participating in marches and demonstrations (J. Hams 33). Inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr., who urged civil rights workers to "`Go back to Mississippi ... go back to Georgia,'" in his speech during the March on Washington in 1963, she returned to the South for two summers and went to live in Mississippi during the late 1960s and early 1970s, working at voter registration, teaching Headstart teachers and writing stories about rural southern black women. (Gardens 163, 27). Participation in the Civil Rights Movement was central to Walker's life not only as a young woman but also as a young writer. She has written about the Movement in some of her early poems, in short stories, in essays, and briefly in her first novel, The Third Life of Grange Copeland (1970), but Meridian (1976) is her novel of the Civil Rights Movement. Meridian is more than a novel about the Civil Rights Movement, and critics have focused on many aspects of this complex work.(2) But I would like to focus on Meridian as a novel of the Civil Rights Movement and try to show how Walker used her experience in the Movement and the experience of others of her generation to deal with the social, political and philosophical issues raised by the Movement, issues that continue toengage us today. Other critics have focused on the Civil Rights Movement in discussing Meridian,(3) but they do not discuss the connection between Walker's experience in the Movement and the novel. Alice Walker is the only major African American woman writer who came of age during the Civil Rights Movement and participated in it and the only one to write a novel about the Civil Rights Movement.(4)By 1970, when Walker began to write Meridian (J. Harris 33), the Civil Rights Movement, which offered the hope of "Freedom Now!" and the ideal and practice of nonviolence and "Black and White Together," had been declared dead. Many young blacks had given up on white Americans and on nonviolence, because of their experience of white racist violence and intransigence in the Civil Rights Movement. As early as 1963, Anne Moody, a young black woman active in the Movement in Mississippi, began to "question everything I had ever believed in" and to think "Nonviolence is through," after a black church in Birmingham, Alabama was bombed by racist whites and four young girls attending Sunday school were killed (Moody 320, 319). Despite the Movement, in 1970 the United States continued to be racially divided and violent against black people.By 1970, some people, who called themselves black nationalists or black militants, and whose slogan had become "Black Power," urged black women, who had struggled for their freedom along with black men in the Civil Rights Movement, to subordinate themselves to black men, to make themselves less, for the good of their people. In an essay published in 1973, while she was writing Meridian, Alice Walker quotes Barbara Sizemore, writing in The Black Scholar, on the new "`nationalist woman'": "`Her main goal is to inspire and encourage man and his children. Sisters in this movement must beg for permission to speak and function as servants to men.'" (qtd. in Gardens 169). Both Walker and Sizemore viewed this development in the freedom struggle with dismay. Walker called it "heartbreaking" (Gardens 169). Barbara Omolade, like Walker a participant in the Civil Rights Movement as a young woman, also writes, like Sizemore, about nationalist men in the 1970s confining nationalist women to the role of wife and mother. She adds that "Among themselves, sisters balked at being mere supporters and complained of male chauvinism--while maintaining a united front with men against white racism." (Omolade 166).The attempt by black nationalist men to subordinate black women was influenced, in part, by the ideology of the Nation of Islam, and Sizemore compares the position of black nationalist women to that of women in the Nation of Islam (qtd. in Gardens 169). Attempting to subordinate black women was also a response by some black men to the growing feminist consciousness of young black women in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) toward the end of the Civil Rights Movement. At that time, some black (and white) women, like their foremothers in the Anti-Slavery Movement, began to see, in their relationship to the men in the Movement, an analogy to the racist oppression of black people. Many black women in the Movement, like Cynthia Washington, put the struggle for black freedom first and saw "Struggle between black men and women" as "an effective way to keep us from working for our common liberation." ("We Started From Different Ends of the Spectrum" rpt. in Evans 239). Other black women, like Frances Beal, could not separate their struggle as women from their struggle as blacks and refused to "exchange a white master for a Black master," believing that "the ideology of male supremacy was divisive ... and had no place in the Black Movement." (qtd. in Jordan 166).She also met a young Jewish law student named Mel Leventhal. Alice fell in love with the passionate Leventhal who would take civil rights cases into the courts. She returned to New York city with him where he was attending law school.Leventhal encouraged Alice's writing. While pondering a first novel, Alice wrote an essay titled "The Civil Rights Movement: What Good Was It?" which became her first published article and won her first place in the American Scholar magazine annual essay contest. Encouraged and wanting to find solitude to work on the novel, Alice applied for and won a writing fellowship at the prestigious MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire.In the summer of 1966 she returned to Mississippi, where she met a Jewish civil rights law student named Mel Leventhal. They soon married and moved back to Mississippi. They were probably the first inter-racial couple in Mississippi and, as a result, had to deal with constant streams of violence and murderous threats from the Ku Klux Klan. Alice again got pregnant (which saved Leventhal from the Vietnam draft) but sadly lost the child.Even while pursuing civil rights, Alice found time to write. Her essay―The Civil Rights Movement: What Good Was It?‖ won first plac e in the annual essay contest of The American Scholar. Encouraged by this award, she applied for and won a writing fellowship to the prestigious MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire.―I am a Renegade, an Outlaw, a Pagan‖–Author,Poet and Activist Alice Walker in Her Own WordsAMY GOODMAN:I was reading Evelyn White‘s biography of you, called Alice Walker: A Life, and she goes back to 1967, and you had just come to New York, and you were submitting an essay to American Scholar. It was 1967, so you were about, what, 23 years old. And it was entitled ―The Civil Rights Movement: What Good Was It?‖ And you include it in your book In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens. You wrote it in one sitting. You won first prize. It was published. ―The Civil Rights Movement: What G ood Was It?‖ Can you talk about the Civil Rights Movement to the antiwar movement? The antiwar movement, what good is it?ALICE WALKER: Well, as I was saying about the Civil Rights Movement is that sometimes you can‘t see tangible results. You cannot see t he changes that you‘re dreaming about, because they‘re internal. And a lot of it has to do with the ability to express yourself, your own individual dream and your own individual road in life. And so, we may never stop war. We may never stop war, and it is n‘t likely that we will, actually. But what we‘re doing as we try to stop war externally, whatwe‘re trying to do is stop it in ourselves. That‘s where war has to end. And until we can control our own violence, our own anger, our own hostility, our own mea nness, our own greed, it‘s going to be so, so, so hard to do anything out there. So I think of any movement for peace and justice as something that is about stabilizing our inner spirit so that we can go on and bring into the world a vision that is much more humane than the one that we have dominant today.Alice Walker沃克1944-长篇小说：The Third Life of Grange Copeland格兰治科普兰的第三次生活；Meridian梅丽迪安；The Color Purple紫色名文：The Civil Rights Movement：What Good Was It？短篇小说集：In Love and Trouble相爱与苦恼；You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down好女人永不屈服散文集：In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens诗集：Once有一次；Revolutionary Petunias革命的牵牛花传记：Langston Hughes, the comments about the civil rights movement what good was it?introduction: life¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬---text; one of the great events; martin luther king—the great leader;step 1: question: what can a title r eveal? students‘ ideas---correct, exactly; direction, main idea; using body language very well, esp. hand gestures; explains the word---dynamics, moves up and down, to and fro; the key words---main idea, discourse type and dynamics, logic pattern (here causality)question: how much do you know about these? the civil rights movement, martin luther king, alice walker; discussion: struggle can be peaceful, teeth for teeth in bible, non-violent movement---black and white recently, iraq war, makes this world blind.step 2: reading methods (the important points of teaching).words that tell---group 1 and group 2 in a contrasted pattern about the main idea; explains the words in a very easy and interesting way; the two groups represent the black people‘s bad situa tion and their wishes separately;method 1: extensive reading is not the same as the intensive, which is concerned with many details; so the whole text should become a life to the readers.paralleled sentences and sentence groups---we…… ; he did not say…… ; (the difficult points of the text).the important structure of the text; ‗never‘ in the sentences is so powerful; method 2: understanding of the overall meaning of the text should be the reader‘s target all the way. furthermore, connections should be ma de while reading. the writing style of this article is even influenced by martin luther king‘s powerful speech.step 3: output makes you safe (group discussion for ten minutes); listthree questions to let the students choose for discussion. assignments: reading martin luther king‘s powerful speech; writing about martin luther king‘s background for about 200 words.comments: all the above is about professor huang‘s teaching process of music-like voice, cadenced intonation, graceful and moderate gestures and revelled expressions.only some flaws are in the following which i comment based on my teaching experience.weakn ess 1: professor huang‘s pronunciation of the word ‗the‘ before ‗author‘ is not accurate;weakness 2:the background of one person whose name is alice walker was not introduced by professor huang since it was already listed on the screen.weakness 3: the interaction teaching was not used fully in the classroom. maybe in my view, more time and more chances should be given to the students, since the teaching of today tends to be learner-centered. zouqiang246537@graduate candidate classXmsjhcn@ BOOK V。

幸运的话，有时候父母会告诉我们有关外面的世界的事。

有时我们能从其他的地方得到外界的知识。

我们被焦虑和恐惧所包围，希望我们不要长大后生活在这个我们看到的糟糕的世界上。

我们渴望着充满活力的生活，我们希望有能够将我们从乏味的生活中拯救出来的办法。

我们期待着出现奇怪事件的迹象，我们在未知的人群中搜寻着不平凡的面孔。

这只是六年前，从我真正活着算起。

当然在六年之前我也活着——我已经23 岁了，但是在那之前我并没有真正意义上理解了活着。

而且我不知道，因为没人告诉我，到底怎么样才算真正的活着。

我——一个郁郁不乐，躁动的，典型的高中生。

但是在别人看来，我是一个黑人，我也是这么认为的。

在那之前，我的头脑一直被禁锢在这具仿佛是别人的躯体内。

我的头脑里有着自己的想法和精神——我想成为一名作家或科学家，虽然说我的肤色不允许我这样。

我仿佛一个幽灵般的存在。

在白人的世界里，我的存在感比影子还低。

作为一个生长在贫民窟里的年轻人，和许多同样生活在这里的人，我们不存在于书籍，电影里，甚至被政府所忽视。

我期待着被当作人的那一天。

有一天，通过一个奇迹般的事件，我被视作人。

在1960 年那个骚动的夜晚我们家购买我们的第一台电视机。

我的母亲已习惯于在她做女仆工作的地方看下午肥皂剧。

我觉得母亲爱看的肥皂剧很乏味。

肥皂剧里充斥着怀孕，流产，虚伪，不忠以及酗酒的剧情。

所有这些男人和女人都是白人，他们和仆人住在这栋有着长楼梯以及有着带天井的院子的大房子里。

（在院子里，他们每天喝很多酒。

在看这些肥皂剧的时候，她把自己当作剧中人物之一。

她把自己放到每一个她看到的场景中，她的头发变成金色，她的衣服变得时髦，她粗糙黝黑的皮肤变白变光滑了。

The Civil-Rights Movement In The U.S.

The Civil-Rights Movement In The U.S.As we know, The civil rights movement not only change the fate of African Americans, but also affected the lives of all Americans. So there is necessary for us to learn something about it.In 1526, the first batch of the black people were brought to the America, they landed on the South Carolina. They were treated badly and forced to be slaves. In 1640, from Maryland, the slavery in the U.S. was begun.Till the president Lincoln lead the Civil war, the slavery ended. However, the African in America still treated unfair. For example, they must give their seats to the white people on the bus. On December 1, 1955, a black woman was arrested because she refused to leave her seat to a white man, which is the start of the civil rights movement. Martin Luther King and his speech “I have a dream” encouraged a lot of people fight for their rights.Today in America, we can see that African Americans live with much of equality, freedom and dignity. Even there still have racism in the America or in the world, but we have reason to believe that racism will disappear in the future.。

民权运动的英语作文The Civil Rights Movement。

The Civil Rights Movement was a major social and political movement in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. It sought to end racial discrimination and segregation against African Americans and other minority groups, and to secure their basic civil and political rights.The movement was sparked by a series of events, including the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision in 1954, which declared segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. This decision was followed by a series of protests, sit-ins, and boycotts, led by civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X.The movement faced significant opposition from white supremacists and other groups who sought to maintain thestatus quo of racial inequality and segregation. Many civil rights activists were met with violence and intimidation, and some were even killed for their efforts.Despite these challenges, the Civil Rights Movement achieved many important victories. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were landmark pieces of legislation that outlawed racial discrimination and secured voting rights for African Americans. These laws helped to dismantle many of the legal barriers that had long prevented African Americans from fully participating in American society.The legacy of the Civil Rights Movement continues to be felt today, as the fight for racial equality and social justice remains an ongoing struggle. While progress has been made, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all Americans are treated equally and have access to the same opportunities.In conclusion, the Civil Rights Movement was a pivotal moment in American history, one that brought aboutsignificant social and political change. It was a time of great courage and sacrifice, as ordinary people stood up against injustice and fought for their rights. The movement serves as a reminder that, even in the face of adversity, it is possible to effect positive change and create abetter world for all.。

The civil rights movement, a pivotal chapter in the history of the United States, serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity's quest for equality, justice, and freedom. As we reflect on its legacy, it is imperative that we also consider the road ahead and the ongoing struggle for civil rights in our society.I. IntroductionThe civil rights movement, which spanned from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, was a mass protest movement aimed at ending racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans and other minority groupsin the United States. The movement was characterized by nonviolent protest, civil disobedience, and the use of grassroots organizing. It culminated in significant legislative achievements, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.II. The Historical ContextTo understand the civil rights movement, we must delve into thehistorical context that gave rise to it. For centuries, African Americans had been subjected to systemic racism, slavery, and segregation. Despite the abolition of slavery with the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, the promise of equality remained unfulfilled. Jim Crow laws, enforced by both the state and private entities, perpetuated a system of racial oppression and segregation in the South, while discrimination persisted in the North as well.III. Key Figures and EventsThe civil rights movement was driven by a group of courageous leaders and activists who were determined to challenge the status quo. Among them were Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, John Lewis, and Fannie Lou Hamer. These individuals, along with countless others, were instrumental in shaping the movement's strategy and direction.One of the most significant events in the civil rights movement was the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956. When Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger, the Montgomery Improvement Association was formed, and a 381-day boycott of the city's bus system ensued. This boycott served as a catalyst for the civilrights movement and highlighted the power of nonviolent protest.Another pivotal event was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedomin 1963, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. This event brought national attention to the civil rights movement and set the stage for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.IV. Legacy of the Civil Rights MovementThe civil rights movement has left an indelible mark on American history. Its legacy includes:1. The end of legal segregation: The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 dismantled the legal frameworkthat had supported racial segregation and discrimination.2. The empowerment of African Americans: The civil rights movement empowered African Americans to fight for their rights and demand social justice. It paved the way for a new generation of leaders and activists who would continue the struggle for equality.3. The advancement of human rights: The civil rights movement inspired other movements around the world, including the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.V. The Road AheadWhile the civil rights movement achieved significant victories, the struggle for equality and justice is far from over. Today, we continueto face challenges such as racial profiling, disparities in the criminal justice system, and systemic racism. As we reflect on the legacy of the civil rights movement, we must also consider the road ahead:1. Education: We must continue to educate ourselves and others about the history of civil rights and the ongoing struggles faced by minority groups.2. Advocacy: We must advocate for policies that promote equality, justice, and freedom for all individuals, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.3. Solidarity: We must stand in solidarity with those who are marginalized and oppressed, recognizing that our collective liberationis intertwined.VI. ConclusionThe civil rights movement stands as a shining example of the power of collective action and the human spirit's unwavering determination to achieve justice. As we honor the legacy of those who fought tirelessly for equality, let us also commit ourselves to carrying forward their torch. Together, we can build a more just and inclusive society, where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.Thank you.。

TheCivilRightsMovementofthe1950sand1960s第一篇：The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960sThis state of affairs remained unchanged until the United States Supreme Court declared in 1954 that racially segregated public schools did not provide equal educational opportunities for black Americans and were therefore illegal.Black leaders throughout the United States were greatly encouraged by this decision.They decided to try to end racial segregation in all areas of American life.The most important of these leaders was Martin Luther King, Jr., a black Protestant minister with a great gift for inspiring his people.From the late 1950s until his assassination by a white gunman in 1968, King led thousands of African-Americans in nonviolent marches and demonstrations against segregation and other forms of racial discrimination.King's goal was to bring about greater assimilation of black people into the larger American culture.His ideals were largely developed from basic American values.He wanted greater equality of opportunity and “Freedom now” for his people.He did not wish to separate his people from American society but rather to gain for them a larger part in it.Some black leaders, such as Malcolm X, urged a rejection of basic American values and complete separation of blacks from the white culture.Malcolm X believed that American values were nothing mo re than “white man's values” used to keep blacks in an inferior position.He believed that blacks must separate themselves from whites, by force if necessary, and build their own society based on values that they would create for themselves.Because he saw C hristianity as a “white” religion, Malcolm turned to a faith based on Islam, and he became aleader of the “black Muslim” faith(founded in 1930).The great majority of American blacks, however, shared Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Protestant religious beliefs and his goal of assimilation rather than separation.Most African-Americans continued to look to King as their rgely as a result of King's activities, two major civil rights laws were passed during the 1960s that removed racial segregation from public facilities in the South and also removed the barriers that had prevented black people from voting in that region.The civil rights laws of the 1960s helped to bring about a significant degree of assimilation of blacks into the larger American culture.Most important, the laws eventually helped to reduce the amount of white prejudice toward black people in all parts of the country.The number of African-Americans attending the nation's colleges and universities, holding elective public office, and earning higher incomes increased dramatically in the late 1960s and 1970s.In 1984 and 1988, Jesse Jackson, a black leader who had worked with King in the 1960s, became the first African-American to run for president of the United States.Although he did not win, he received significant national attention and greatly influenced the policies of the Democratic party.African-Americans are now mayors of major cities and members of Congress;they hold offices in all levels of government—local, state, and national.They are sports and entertainment heroes, university professors, medical doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and reporters.There is now a sizable black middle class, and there are a number of wealthy African-Americans.More than 80 percent of whites now say that they would vote for a black for President, someone like General Colin Powell, for example.Powell was President Bush's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the senior military leader in the United State。

The Civil Rights Movement

美国民权运动Civil Rights Movement，United States第二次世界大战后美国黑人反对种族隔离与歧视，争取民主权利的群众运动。

战后头10年，美国黑人争取平等自由的运动只限于由美国全国有色人种协进会在法院进行的斗争。

1954 年5月17日，美国最高法院为改变美国在国际上的形象，就布朗控诉托布卡教育委员会一案作出判决：公立学校所实行的种族隔离教育是不平等的，违反《宪法第14条修正案》。

1955 年12月1日，亚拉巴马州蒙哥马利城黑人R.帕克斯夫人在公共汽车上拒绝让座给白人，被捕入狱。

在青年黑人牧师M.L.金的领导下，全城5万黑人团结一致，罢乘公共汽车达一年之久，终于迫使汽车公司取消种族隔离制。

1957年，金牧师及其支持者组成南方基督教领袖会议，将运动深入到南部生活的各个领域。

1958年南方21个主要城市组织集会，发动黑人争取公民权利。

1960年2月1日，北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒城4个黑人大学生进入一餐馆，白人服务员命令他们走开，他们静坐不动。

这一英勇行为立刻得到南部广大黑人学生响应，发展为大规模静坐运动，迫使近200 个城市的餐馆取消隔离制。

1961 年 5 月初，种族平等大会又开展自由乘客运动。

不久，在学生非暴力协调委员会参与下，得到许多白人支持，逐渐发展为全国性运动，迫使南部诸州取消州际公共汽车乘坐上的种族隔离制。

1963年3月，金牧师等人在南部种族隔离极严重的伯明翰组织示威游行，要求取消全城隔离制。

示威群众受到残酷镇压，但由于金牧师的坚持和美国联邦政府被迫进行干预，该城种族隔离制全部被取消。

伯明翰事件后，民权运动队伍迅速扩大。

1963年8月28日组织25万人(其中1／4为白人)向华盛顿进军，要求就业，要求“立即自由”。

另外，有些城市黑人还开展以暴力对付暴力的斗争。

1964年迫使L.B.约翰逊总统签署了《民权法》。

但南部诸州仍采用各种手法阻止黑人选民登记。

于是，金牧师等在种族主义非常猖獗的亚拉巴马州塞尔马市进行黑人选民登记运动，并于1965年3月冒着被殴打、杀害的危险由塞尔马向州首府蒙哥马利进军，最后参加人数达15万。

Civil Rights 美国民权运动背景知识

Segregation
“Whites Only” Waiting Room
A black man is ordered out of a “whites only” waiting room. Separate facilities for blacks and whites were maintained throughout the South from the end of the 19th century until the 1960s.
The system of segregation also included the denial of voting rights, known as disfranchisement. Between 1890 and 1910 all Southern states passed laws imposing requirements for voting that were used to prevent blacks from voting, in spite of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of theUnited States, which had been designed to protect black voting rights. These requirements included: the ability to read and write, which disqualified the many blacks who had not had access to education; property ownership, something few blacks were able to acquire; and paying a poll tax, which was too great a burden on most Southern blacks, who were very poor. As a final insult, the few blacks who made it over all these hurdles could not vote in the Democratic primaries that chose the candidates because they were open only to whites in most Southern states.
