介绍一个典型案例,运用辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义
介绍一个典型案例,运用辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义理论,去分析其历史背景,让读者能够深入了解这个案例这里我们介绍的案例为美国黑人民权运动。
黑人民权运动(African-American Civil Rights Movement)是一场反对美国种族歧视的运动,历时从1954年的“圣路易斯公民权诉Brown案”以来,持续直至1965年的《民权法案》签署实现美国个人民权得到彻底解放之时。
借助辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义理论,我们可以发掘黑人民权运动的历史背景。
根据辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义的观点,美国黑人民权运动的发展是由社会发展的连续不断的过程驱动的。
它是一种由社会矛盾引起的普遍性事件,社会矛盾的发展与解决过程决定了它的发展性质、方向和步骤。
具体而言,以美国黑人民权运动为例,历史背景可以从黑人集体获得自由、决定自己命运的早期遗留问题到当前种族主义社会所产生的种族歧视持续存在,可以分析出起源。
具体来说,从历史上看,美国黑人民权运动是一种反对种族歧视的运动,它源自黑人社会,早期源自黑人被奴隶制统治并被剥夺了基本权利的历史,由于种族歧视,立法、教育、经济和社会等存在明显的不平等。
最明显的反映是新南向的实施,使不少黑人被遗弃,他们必须走上应对当局的抗争路线,争取民权。
再深入来看,美国黑人民权运动的发展基础是美国的唯物的思想和思潮,从具体行动、到社会斗争,都是基于宣扬和争取社会公平与正义的理念和行为。
美国黑人民权运动既是受到历史所限所影响,又受到西方文化传播影响,它具有社会运动理论作为特点,即思想是实践的前提,实践是思想的运动,二者相互促进,相互联系的时间性质的绩效能力,以及一定程度上的唯物主义和社会主义理论。
总的来说,以美国黑人民权运动为例,借助辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义理论,它可以更加深入地解读这场历史运动的历史背景和社会意义,使读者能够深入了解。
civil rights movement独立运动
1. Back groundThe African blacks were first introduced to the America to be the slaves who work at the North farms in order to remedy the shortage of the local labor. In theory, after the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, they already enquire the liberty. However, in fact, because of the poverty and lower education, they had to work for the whites to survive, especially after the Federal army left the North the African-Americans lost the shied of Federal and still remained in the racial segregation.Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S.537 (1896), is a landmark United States SupremeCourt decision upholding the constitutionality of state laws requiring racial segregation in public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal".[1]HoweverThey executed thoroughly the segregation but neglect the part of equality. What’s more the Racial segregation even existed in the factory, hospital, school and army.2. Aim1939.An African-American man drinking at a "colored" drinking fountain in a streetcar terminal在历经58年后,的法律观念才被推翻;1954年联邦最高法院在“布朗诉教育委员会”一案,判定种族隔离的学校并未提供黑人学生公平教育,因此公立学校应该要种族混合。
black movement--African-American Civil Rights Movement
African-American Civil Rights Movement Now, when we watch NBA games, we have got used to the black’s domination in this game. 80% of the basketball players are African-Americans, the white however, become the minority. But, do you know, sixty years ago, the situation is totally different. In 1950, when the first black figure Roy Florida appeared on the court, who could have imagined, 58 years later, when the Boston Celtics once again won the NBA champion, there is no single white in the team? In the same year, the US welcomed its first black president.On Nov. 5, 2008, Barack Obama was elected the president of the United State. However, we can say that his success was on the fundamental of generations of black men.1、In 1619, the first group of Africans were transported to North America as slaves, and this marked the beginning of the centuries’ slavery in the continent.2、During the American Civil War(1861~1865), the Africans began their first try of getting their own rights. With the great leadership of Lincoln, the African-Americans finally got rid of the slavery, and this lead to the theoretic equal between the black and white.After the Civil War, American capitalism greatly developed, so did the social structure. More and more of the black left the South and a large colony of black intellectual had grown in the North at the beginning of the 20th century.3\In 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(美国全国有色人种协进委员会) was founded. From then on, the civil rights movement in America had come into a period of well-organized, well-led state.5、After the World War Ⅱ, in the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, America came into a period of maximum development. During this period, the civil rights movement of the black were constantly developing and growing.I、On May 17, 1954, to change the image of America in the international state, the US Supreme Court declared that it was unequal of the pubic schools’ segregated education II、On Dec. 1, 1955, the later world famous mother of the African-American Civil Rights Movement--Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a white in Montgomery and was arrested. Under the leadership of Martin Luther King, the whole 500,000 black in the city united to strike not to use buses for as long as one year. Eventually, the bus corporation cancelled the racial segregation.III、On Feb. 1, 1960, four black college students in North Carolina went into a “white only” restaurant, the servant ordered them to go out, but they remained there. Their brave action instantaneously won the support of the black students and they united to launch a sit-down strike on a large scale. This forced restaurants in nearly 200 cities called off the racial segregation.IV、In 1963, on the square of the Lincoln Memorial, 250,000 people gathered to fight against the racial segregation. There, Martin Luther King addressed his famous speech I Have a Dream; this marked the climax of the civil rights movement.V、Under the great pressure of the civil rights movement, the US congress passed the in 1964 and in 1965, formally ended the discrimination against black in the aspect of voting rights and other public facilities.Since the 1970s, the African-American civil rights movement had a new change; their fight for equality had gone into a new state.In 1983, the democrat Harold Washington defeated the republican white man to become the first black mayor of Chicago--the third largest city of America.In November of that year, the democrat W. William Goode also defeated his white competitor to become the first mayor of Houston—the fourth largest city of America.On November 6th of that year, Chicago civil rights leader, the then 42 year old Rev.Jesse Jackson announced to participate the Democratic nomination. In 1984, he only got 12% voting. In 1988, he tried again, and this time, he won 29% of the votes. Through he failed both times; the political meaning of his participation cannot be eradicatedLater on, the American NEWSWEEK published the Gallup polls, 62% of the black and 56% of the white believed that, before the year 2008; the United States would receive its first black president. This prediction indeed came true on Nov. 5, 2008.Obama’s success is stood on the ladder which is built by generations of American black’s lives, he realized the ultimate dream of several generations of the black.Nowadays, more and more black figures take action on the international stage. We have got so used to these facts, that most of the basketball players in the NBA court are black, that the most famous and successful talk show hostess is a black, that the former secretary of the United States is a black, that the incumbent president of the United States is a black…We have got used to so many things. However, does this means that there is no discrimination existing?The past centuries’bloodstears seem to tell us that racism has gone. However, when Hamilton defeated Alonso, the Spanish would establish a net to insult the first black F1 champion. The organizers explained that the Spanish auto fans were just joking. But, Hamilton couldn’t laugh; he knew very well that the ghost of racism wouldn’t disappear because of a black president.Many statistics indicate that recently the black middle class are reduced to underclass; the adult black men’s imprisonment rate is as high as 30%. The New York Time reported that, in America, once arrested, the black men’s possibility of being condemned is three times higher than the white under the same circumstance. Moreover, under the same accusation, the term of the black is three months longer than the white.The ghettos for black are very common in America, half of them cannot finish their high school education, a quarter of them live under the poverty line, one out of nine of them is serving a prison sentence.From these, we know that the secret anguish of racism has never disappeared in America, even if we have got used to all the black figures. We are only got used. Obama’s success isn’t an end of the racism in the United State.2009 is a commemorable year for both America and American black, it marks the 80th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther King, the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the 200th anniversary of the birth of President Lincoln. This year, also, is the first year of the first black president’s presidency.。

美国黑人民权运动是现代非暴力运动的典型,在全世界被压迫阶级之中影响深远,它使人们看到可以通过合法的群众运动获得民主权利的可能,也使人看到世界必将走向民主平等的趋势。
马丁·路德·金(Dr.Martin Luther King)
马丁·路德·金(Dr.Martin Luther King),将“非暴力”(nonviolence)和“直接行动”(direct action)作为社会变革方法的最为突出的倡导者之一。1929年1月15日,马丁·路德·金在亚特兰大(Atlanta)出生。他是牧师亚当·丹尼尔·威廉姆斯(Rev. A.D. Williams)的外孙,威廉姆斯是埃比尼泽浸信会(Ebenezer Baptist Church)的牧师和全国有色人种协进会(NAACP)亚特兰大分会的发起人;他是老马丁·路德·金(Martin Luther King, Sr.)的儿子,老马丁·路德·金继承父亲威廉姆斯成了埃比尼泽的牧师。金的家族发源于非洲裔美国人的浸信会。在结束亚特兰大莫尔浩司学院(Morehouse College)的学业后,金又在宾夕法尼亚州(Pennsylvania)的克劳泽神学院(Crozer Theological Seminary)和波士顿(Boston University)大学就读,在学习中,他加深了对神学的认识并探究圣雄甘地(Mahatma Gandhi)在社会改革方面的非暴力策略

美国黑人民权运动
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。
影响:
它不仅改变了美国黑人的命运,赋予了他们很大程度上的平等、自由和尊严,也深刻影响了所有美国人的生活与观念。具体来说,民权运动推动联邦政府实行铲除种族隔离制的改革,最终消灭了公开的白人至上主义,为黑人赢得民权。它把美国从一个容忍种族主义、歧视黑人的社会转变为一个不管肤色与种族,承认每一个公民的平等权利的社会,从而深深改变了民众的思想。不仅如此,民权运动也激发了新时期美国社会的民主和自由斗争。现代妇女运动、反战运动、新左派运动和其他族裔争取权利的斗争等都受到民权运动的推动和影响。
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。
1896年美国联邦最高法院作出“普莱西诉弗格森案”(Plessy v. Ferguson)判决,确立对黑人采行“隔离但平等”措施的合法性时,无异对南方黑人人权造成严重的打击,最高法院判决中有关“隔离”的部份被执行得十分彻底,但有关“平等”的部份则不然,导致南方出现更多种族隔离制度法令,甚至连在工厂、医院及军队都采取种族隔离制度。
