Brown V, Board of Education, Topeka Kansas - 1954
- Civil Rights

• Linda Brown, a student in the segregated Topeka
  Kansas school district had to walk 5 miles to
  school each day. Across the train tracks from her
  house there was a white school she was unable to
  attend. Oliver Brown enlisted the help of the
  NAACP to ensure that his daughter was able to go
  to the best school possible. Thurgood Marshall,
  then head of the NAACP, challenged the
  segregation of the school claiming that the laws
  violated the 14th amendment to the Constitution
  that said that all citizens were to receive
  "equal protection under the law." The state
  argued that Plessey v Ferguson had set the
  precedent and that the laws was clear on this
  point.
• The court affirmed the position of Marshall and
  the Brown family and overturned the precedent set
  by the Plessey decision. Justice Earl Warren
  claimed that "in the eyes of the law, justice was
  color-blind." In ruling in favor of Brown the
  court ordered the integration of America "with
  all deliberate speed." The civil rights movement
  had begun!

23
The Montgomery Bus Boycott

• December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, refuses to sit in
  the colored section of a bus in Montgomery,
  Alabama.
• Parks was arrested.
• Her arrest caused the formation of the Montgomery
  Improvement Association who chose the 26-year-old
  Martin Luther King Jr. as their leader.
• The group led by King boycotted Montgomerys
  busses for 381 days. After filing a lawsuit the
  Supreme Court outlawed bus segregation in 1956.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

• Ordained minister in 1948
• Ph.D in Theology from Boston University
• He followed the ideas of Transcendental Thinker
  Henry David Thoreau.
• Thoreau practiced civil disobedience, or the
  refusal to obey an unjust law, using non-violent
  means.
• Gandhi used these ideas to win independence for
  India from Britain. King believed these same
  principles could be applied to win equal rights
  for African-Americans.

Southern Christian Leadership Conference

• Following the successful Montgomery Bus boycott
  that proved that African-Americans could unite
  and organize a successful protest movement, King
  and other ministers and civil rights workers
  created SCLC.
• The SCLC used African-American churches as the
  base on which a grassroots non-violent movement
  could be built.
• The first directed of the SCLC was Ella Baker.
  She was the field secretary for the NAACP and
  used her numerous contacts in the south to help
  establish branches of the SCLC in many southern
  cities.
• In April 1960, students at Shaw University, an
  HBI, established the Student Nonviolent
  Coordinating Committee, or SNCC, with the help of
  Baker.

26
SNCC

• SNCC members thought the way the Brown decision
  was being implemented was too slow. The wanted
  change now.
• SNCC members called for a more confrontational
  strategy than Dr. King.
• In February 1960, they staged their first sit-in
  at a whites-only lunch counted in Greensboro,
  North Carolina.
• Television crews brought the image of young
  African-Americans being beaten heckled by angry
  whites.
• These images shocked TV audiences, especially in
  the north, and caused a wave of lunch counter
  sit-ins across the south.
• By the end of 1960, lunch counters in 11 states
  had been desegregated.
