DBQ AND LEQ PRACTICE

Lesson on Friday, April 27, 2018

Aim:

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.

Lesson on Thursday, April 26, 2018

Aim: How did the civil rights movement evolve over time, and how did competing ideas and political alliances affect its growth and that of other social movements?

Bell Ringer: Thinking Like a Historian 27 (10/15 min)

A: paragraph with historically defensible thesis
B: include which sources you will use to defend your thesis and how
C: include at least one piece of information beyond the sources, found in the chapter or beyond the civil rights movement. 
Agenda:

1. Black Nationalism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIJrSp28Ojk (3:15 min)

Marcus Garvey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrNCMSODtyw (4 min)

2. Journal 159 - Why were Black Power and black nationalism compelling to many African Americans? 

A: The agenda of these more inward-looking movements included the use of self-defense against police harassment, the creation of inner-city breakfast programs for children, opening up city jobs to black people, ending black poverty, combating drug use, and improving housing and health conditions. Racial pride rested at the center of these movements, and this, in and of itself, was very compelling. Many African Americans were angered by white violence, were not willing to wait for whites to be just, and were frustrated with the slow pace of reform. 
3. Journal 160 - What did the Chicano and American Indian movements have in common with the black freedom movement? 

The Chicano and American Indian movements were similar to the black freedom movement in that they focused on ethnic pride, they challenged Americans both within and outside of their communities to take action, they used protests, and strikes to publicize their plights, and they rejected assimilation efforts.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Aim: How did the civil rights movement evolve over time, and how did competing ideas and political alliances affect its growth and that of other social movements?

Bell Ringer: Review Mock Exam Questions - complete (10 min)

Agenda:

1. Thinking Like a Historian 26 (10 min)

2. America Compared 27:

Q3 / A: The similarities between colonized Africans and African Americans included a racial hierarchy that carried with it social, economic, and political disparities. The differences centered on the fact that the British lived in Africa as colonizers, whereas white and black Americans belonged to the same nation and were forced to negotiate ways to coexist.

2. Review Journals 154-158

A. Journal 154 - How did the growth of the black middle class assist the civil rights movement? 

The growth of the black middle class in the 1950s provided the monetary opportunity to organize against Jim Crow segregation. Its ranks reduced the leadership of the movement. In addition, children of the black middle class attended college and provided the large numbers needed to continue the movement. 
B. Journal 155 - Why did WWII play such a critical role in the civil rights movement? 

During WWII, black soldiers experienced equality in Europe while frighting to end Nazi tyranny, but returned to a segregated nation with limited opportunities. This hypocrisy was acknowledged through the Double V Campaign, which brought attention to the burgeoning civil rights struggle. In addition, the desegregation of the armed services during the Cold War by President Truman and the rise of the black middle class were made possible by WWII. 

C. Journal 156 - How did the Cold War work in the favor of civil rights? How did it work against the movement? 

In a time of growing fear of Communist expansionism, civil rights opponents charged that racial integration was "communistic". Truman worried about images of racist persecution in his democratic nation and worked to lessen the violence and oppression of white supremacy. However, McCarthyism and the hunt for subversives at home held the civil rights movement back. Some white southerners associated the civil rights movement with communism, and the NAACP was banned in many southern states as "anti-American" organization. 

D. Journal 157 - What lessons did activists learn from the evolution of the civil rights movement between 1957 and 1961?

Civil rights activists learned to be persistent with their protests and to rely on their strength in numbers; they learned that they could affect change through economic boycotts and peaceful protests, and they learned that violent opposition from southern whites helped advance their cause with the rest of the nation, especially Washington. 

E. Journal 158 - In what ways did white resistance hinder the civil rights movement? In what ways did it help?

White resistance clearly hindered the movement  by challenging virtually every level of integration in public education, transportation, and employment. The movement also faced violence, and key black leaders were murdered. Integration by court order that should have reached fruition by 1960 in stead of the early 1970s was slowed because of white resistance. Yet southern white determination failed in the face of television cameras that caught the beatings for the world to see. The Soviet Union used the treatment of blacks in the South as propaganda against the United States during the Cold War. Southern white violence ironically pressured presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson to acquiesce to African American demands for equality so that the United States did not look so bad to the world. 

3. You may be asked to demonstrate an understanding of how Cold War policies led to debates over the role of the federal government and how best to balance liberty and order.

4. Use the career of Thurgood Marshall to illustrate the legal challenges that civil rights activists employed to fight racial discrimination.

5. Exam Alert: In previous AP exams, students have been asked to analyze and evaluate the Brown decision, comparing this decision to the Plessy case of 1896.
