Section 1-11
The Origins of the Movement (cont.)
The NAACP supported court cases intended to
overturn segregation. It provided lawyers to
African Americans and helped cover the costs of
their cases. CORE used sit-ins as a form of
protest against segregation and discrimination.
In 1943 CORE used sit-ins to protest segregation
in restaurants. These sit-ins resulted in the
integration of many restaurants, theaters, and
other public facilities in Chicago, Detroit,
Denver, and Syracuse.

Section 1-16
How did the Courts decision in Brown v. Board of
Education of Topeka, Kansas, affect African
Americans and Southerners?
The ruling convinced many African Americans that
it was time to challenge other forms of
segregation. The ruling enraged many
Southerners, who became even more determined to
defend segregation. In 1956 a group of 101
Southern members of Congress signed the Southern
Manifesto which denounced the Supreme Court
rulings and encouraged Southerners to defy the
Supreme Court by not upholding the ruling to end
segregation.

African American Churches (cont.)
How did African American churches and ministers
help the civil rights movement?
African American churches served as forums for
many of the protests and planning meetings. The
churches also mobilized many of the volunteers
for specific civil-rights campaigns. African
American ministers, led by Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., established the SCLC, which was set up
to eliminate segregation from American society
and to encourage African Americans to register to
vote.

Section 1-22
Eisenhower and Civil Rights (cont.)
Why do some cities have de facto segregation?
Some ethnic group choose to live
together. Economic prosperity for white America
allowed them to move out to the suburbs while
leaving impoverished minorities behind in the
inner cities. This was not done by law but
rather by the tradition of discrimination in the
workplace
