Bell Ringer: Grade Chapter 28 Vocabulary Quiz

Agenda:

1. Review Questions Qs 1, 4, and 5 (page 900)

1. Although precedents were set with the founding of the NAACP in 1909 and Marcus Garvey's United Negro improvement Association in the 1920s, the following factors came together in the middle of the 20th century to make a broad and unique movement possible:

A. Black soldiers in WWII experienced equality in Europe while fighting to end Nazi tyranny. 
B. The black middle class grew in the 1950s
C. Trade unions assisted the movement at the national level. 
D. Television delivered the ugliness of Jim Crow segregation across the world, popularizing the civil rights movement. 

4. The civil rights movement and the violent backlash against it prompted the federal government to expand its reach by legislating and enforcing racial equality. Beginning with Truman's desegregation of the army, the Brown decision, the Civil Rights Act, and the Voting Rights Act, the government grew to enforce the 14th Amendment. 

-Society also changed in response to the movement. Slowly, and often begrudgingly, white Americans grew accustomed to integration and a more diversified polity. It also inspired other groups, such as Native Americans, women, and Mexican Americans, to challenge inequality. 

5. The federal government had to expand to enforce the promise of equality established by the 14th Amendment. African Americans, women, and ethnic minorities appealed to the federal government to protect their rights as American citizens. 

2. Making Connections Qs 1 and 2 (page 900)

1. The 1960s was the decade when the promise of Reconstruction, social and political equality, was finally realized. Key turning points include the end of Reconstruction in 1877, the emergence of Jim Crow in the following decades, the founding of the NAACP in 1909, the Harlem Renaissance, African American participation in WWI and WWII, the desegregation of the army in 1948, the Brown decision in 1954, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the murder of Emmett Till in 1955, the desegregation of Little Rock in 1957, the sit-in-movement in 1960, the protests in Birmingham in 1963, and the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act in 1964 and 1965. 

2. In this photograph and the others from the chapter showing events of the civil rights movement, the media showed white resistance to the nation. Extreme southern hatred was captured time and again throughout the civil rights movement. The images revealed the challenges faced by southern blacks.
