The Brown DecisionThe NAACP (National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People) had worked onbehalf of African Americans since its founding in1909 In the 1950s NAACP lawyers searched forcases they could use to challenge the laws allow-ing the segregation of public education

The Supreme Court had upheld segregationlaws in the past In 1896 in Plessy v Ferguson ithad ruled that ldquoseparate but equalrdquo public facil-ities were legal Thurgood Marshall the chieflawyer for the NAACP decided to challenge theidea of ldquoseparate but equalrdquo The NAACP beganto decide which among the nationrsquos segregatedschool districts to bring before the Court Seven-year-old African American Linda Brown wasnot permitted to attend an all-white elementary

school just blocks from her house The Brownfamily sued the school system but lost Marshalland the NAACP appealed the case all the way tothe Supreme Court

The case of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas combined with several simi-lar cases reached the Supreme Court in Decem-ber 1952 Marshall argued that segregatedschools were not and could not be equal towhite schools For that reason segregatedschools violated the Fourteenth Amendment

On May 17 1954 the Court unanimouslyruled in Brown v Board of Education of TopekaKansas that it was unconstitutional to separateschoolchildren by race The Brown decisionreversed the Courtrsquos decision in Plessy v Fergu-son (See page 997 for a summary of the Brown decision)

Integrating the SchoolsThe Courtrsquos decision in Brown v Board of Edu-

cation called on school authorities to make plansfor integratingmdashbringing races togethermdashinpublic schools The Court also ordered that inte-gration was to be carried out ldquowith all deliberatespeedrdquomdashas fast as reasonably possible

Some school systems integrated quicklyHowever in parts of the South local leadersvowed to keep African American children out ofwhite schools A clash between the federal gov-ernment and these states seemed unavoidable

Confrontation in Little RockIn 1957 a federal judge ordered Central High

School in Little Rock Arkansas an all-whiteschool to admit African American studentsArkansas governor Orval Faubus opposed inte-gration In September he called out the statersquosNational Guard to prevent African Americansfrom entering the high school

On the first day of classes armed members ofthe National Guard blocked the schoolrsquos entranceand turned away nine African American students

One of them 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckfordrecalled that when she tried to squeeze past amember of the guard

ldquoHe raised his bayonet and then the otherguards moved in and raised their bayonetsrdquo

For the first time since the Civil War a South-ern state had defied the authority of the federalgovernment Although Eisenhower had somedoubts about the Brown decision he believed itwas his duty to enforce the law The presidentwarned Faubus that if the governor did notadmit the students the federal governmentwould act

When a federal judge ruled that the governorhad violated federal law Faubus removed theNational Guard Eisenhower sent hundreds ofsoldiers to Little Rock to patrol the schoolgrounds and protect the students Shielded bythe federal troops the nine African Americanstudents entered the school

Gains on Other FrontsWhile school integration continued African

Americans made other advances in securing theirrights More and more took part in a movementdedicated to securing fair and equal treatment

The Montgomery Bus BoycottOn the evening of December 1 1955 Rosa

Parks boarded a bus in downtown MontgomeryAlabama Parks a seamstress was secretary ofthe local chapter of the NAACP She found anempty seat in the section reserved for whites

When white passengers entered the bus thedriver told Parks an African American tomove to the rear of the bus Parks refused Atthe next bus stop she was taken off the bus bypolice arrested for breaking the law and fined$10 The episode could have ended theremdashbutit did not

Rosa Parksrsquos arrest led African Americans inMontgomery to organize a boycottmdasha refusal tousemdashthe cityrsquos buses The boycott organizershoped to hurt the city financially and force it toalter its policies They had strength in num-bersmdashalmost 75 percent of the bus companyrsquosriders were African American

At a boycott meeting a young Baptist minis-ter came forward to speak Not widely known atthe time Dr Martin Luther King Jr made animpact on the crowd He declared

ldquoWersquore here because first and foremost weare American citizens and we are determined toacquire our citizenship to the fullness of itsmeaning We are tiredmdashtired of being segre-gated and humiliated tired of being kickedabout by the brutal feet of oppressionrdquo

The boycott upset many peoplersquos daily livesbut the African Americans of Montgomerypulled together to make it work Students hitch-hiked to school workers walked or rode bikes totheir jobs King helped organize car pools toshuttle people from place to place

The bus boycott lasted for more than a yearCity officials arrested King and other leaders atdifferent times but African Americans heldfirm The local bus company lost thousands ofdollars in fares and downtown businesses lostcustomers Finally the Supreme Court settledthe matter by ruling that the Montgomery bussegregation law was unconstitutional InDecember 1956 the boycott ended

After the Montgomerybus boycott Dr MartinLuther King Jr emergedas the leader of theAfrican American protestmovement What drovehim into this demandingrole in history

The son of a Baptistminister King attendedMorehouse College andwhen he was 18 years olddecided on a career in the

ministry By the time hefirst arrived in Mont-gomery in September1954 as pastor of the Dexter Avenue BaptistChurch he had also metand married Coretta Scott

From the beginning ofthe Montgomery bus boy-cott King encouraged his followers to use non-violent resistance Thismeant that those who

carried out the demon-strations should not fightwith authorities In spiteof his stand on nonvio-lence King often becamethe target of violence

In April 1968 Kingwas in Memphis Ten-nessee to support astrike of sanitation work-ers There the ministerwas shot while standingon a motel balcony

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

In 1960 for thefirst time radioand televisionplayed a majorfactor in a presi-

dential campaign This advertise-ment for television sets focuses on thetelevised presidential debates

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Describing What happened onNovember 22 1963

The ldquoGreat SocietyrdquoSoon after becoming president Lyndon B

Johnson outlined a set of programs even moreambitious than Kennedyrsquos New Frontier Hecalled his proposals the ldquoGreat Societyrdquo In aspeech he explained his vision of America

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

The Brown DecisionThe NAACP (National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People) had worked onbehalf of African Americans since its founding in1909 In the 1950s NAACP lawyers searched forcases they could use to challenge the laws allow-ing the segregation of public education

The Supreme Court had upheld segregationlaws in the past In 1896 in Plessy v Ferguson ithad ruled that ldquoseparate but equalrdquo public facil-ities were legal Thurgood Marshall the chieflawyer for the NAACP decided to challenge theidea of ldquoseparate but equalrdquo The NAACP beganto decide which among the nationrsquos segregatedschool districts to bring before the Court Seven-year-old African American Linda Brown wasnot permitted to attend an all-white elementary

school just blocks from her house The Brownfamily sued the school system but lost Marshalland the NAACP appealed the case all the way tothe Supreme Court

The case of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas combined with several simi-lar cases reached the Supreme Court in Decem-ber 1952 Marshall argued that segregatedschools were not and could not be equal towhite schools For that reason segregatedschools violated the Fourteenth Amendment

On May 17 1954 the Court unanimouslyruled in Brown v Board of Education of TopekaKansas that it was unconstitutional to separateschoolchildren by race The Brown decisionreversed the Courtrsquos decision in Plessy v Fergu-son (See page 997 for a summary of the Brown decision)

Integrating the SchoolsThe Courtrsquos decision in Brown v Board of Edu-

cation called on school authorities to make plansfor integratingmdashbringing races togethermdashinpublic schools The Court also ordered that inte-gration was to be carried out ldquowith all deliberatespeedrdquomdashas fast as reasonably possible

Some school systems integrated quicklyHowever in parts of the South local leadersvowed to keep African American children out ofwhite schools A clash between the federal gov-ernment and these states seemed unavoidable

Confrontation in Little RockIn 1957 a federal judge ordered Central High

School in Little Rock Arkansas an all-whiteschool to admit African American studentsArkansas governor Orval Faubus opposed inte-gration In September he called out the statersquosNational Guard to prevent African Americansfrom entering the high school

On the first day of classes armed members ofthe National Guard blocked the schoolrsquos entranceand turned away nine African American students

One of them 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckfordrecalled that when she tried to squeeze past amember of the guard

ldquoHe raised his bayonet and then the otherguards moved in and raised their bayonetsrdquo

For the first time since the Civil War a South-ern state had defied the authority of the federalgovernment Although Eisenhower had somedoubts about the Brown decision he believed itwas his duty to enforce the law The presidentwarned Faubus that if the governor did notadmit the students the federal governmentwould act

When a federal judge ruled that the governorhad violated federal law Faubus removed theNational Guard Eisenhower sent hundreds ofsoldiers to Little Rock to patrol the schoolgrounds and protect the students Shielded bythe federal troops the nine African Americanstudents entered the school

Gains on Other FrontsWhile school integration continued African

Americans made other advances in securing theirrights More and more took part in a movementdedicated to securing fair and equal treatment

The Montgomery Bus BoycottOn the evening of December 1 1955 Rosa

Parks boarded a bus in downtown MontgomeryAlabama Parks a seamstress was secretary ofthe local chapter of the NAACP She found anempty seat in the section reserved for whites

When white passengers entered the bus thedriver told Parks an African American tomove to the rear of the bus Parks refused Atthe next bus stop she was taken off the bus bypolice arrested for breaking the law and fined$10 The episode could have ended theremdashbutit did not

Rosa Parksrsquos arrest led African Americans inMontgomery to organize a boycottmdasha refusal tousemdashthe cityrsquos buses The boycott organizershoped to hurt the city financially and force it toalter its policies They had strength in num-bersmdashalmost 75 percent of the bus companyrsquosriders were African American

At a boycott meeting a young Baptist minis-ter came forward to speak Not widely known atthe time Dr Martin Luther King Jr made animpact on the crowd He declared

ldquoWersquore here because first and foremost weare American citizens and we are determined toacquire our citizenship to the fullness of itsmeaning We are tiredmdashtired of being segre-gated and humiliated tired of being kickedabout by the brutal feet of oppressionrdquo

The boycott upset many peoplersquos daily livesbut the African Americans of Montgomerypulled together to make it work Students hitch-hiked to school workers walked or rode bikes totheir jobs King helped organize car pools toshuttle people from place to place

The bus boycott lasted for more than a yearCity officials arrested King and other leaders atdifferent times but African Americans heldfirm The local bus company lost thousands ofdollars in fares and downtown businesses lostcustomers Finally the Supreme Court settledthe matter by ruling that the Montgomery bussegregation law was unconstitutional InDecember 1956 the boycott ended

After the Montgomerybus boycott Dr MartinLuther King Jr emergedas the leader of theAfrican American protestmovement What drovehim into this demandingrole in history

The son of a Baptistminister King attendedMorehouse College andwhen he was 18 years olddecided on a career in the

ministry By the time hefirst arrived in Mont-gomery in September1954 as pastor of the Dexter Avenue BaptistChurch he had also metand married Coretta Scott

From the beginning ofthe Montgomery bus boy-cott King encouraged his followers to use non-violent resistance Thismeant that those who

carried out the demon-strations should not fightwith authorities In spiteof his stand on nonvio-lence King often becamethe target of violence

In April 1968 Kingwas in Memphis Ten-nessee to support astrike of sanitation work-ers There the ministerwas shot while standingon a motel balcony

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

Police in Birmingham Alabama used high-pressure water hoses against civil rightsmarchers Sit-ins were another form ofprotest What was the purpose of theFreedom Rides

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

School in Little Rock Arkansas an all-whiteschool to admit African American studentsArkansas governor Orval Faubus opposed inte-gration In September he called out the statersquosNational Guard to prevent African Americansfrom entering the high school

On the first day of classes armed members ofthe National Guard blocked the schoolrsquos entranceand turned away nine African American students

One of them 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckfordrecalled that when she tried to squeeze past amember of the guard

ldquoHe raised his bayonet and then the otherguards moved in and raised their bayonetsrdquo

For the first time since the Civil War a South-ern state had defied the authority of the federalgovernment Although Eisenhower had somedoubts about the Brown decision he believed itwas his duty to enforce the law The presidentwarned Faubus that if the governor did notadmit the students the federal governmentwould act

When a federal judge ruled that the governorhad violated federal law Faubus removed theNational Guard Eisenhower sent hundreds ofsoldiers to Little Rock to patrol the schoolgrounds and protect the students Shielded bythe federal troops the nine African Americanstudents entered the school

Gains on Other FrontsWhile school integration continued African

Americans made other advances in securing theirrights More and more took part in a movementdedicated to securing fair and equal treatment

The Montgomery Bus BoycottOn the evening of December 1 1955 Rosa

Parks boarded a bus in downtown MontgomeryAlabama Parks a seamstress was secretary ofthe local chapter of the NAACP She found anempty seat in the section reserved for whites

When white passengers entered the bus thedriver told Parks an African American tomove to the rear of the bus Parks refused Atthe next bus stop she was taken off the bus bypolice arrested for breaking the law and fined$10 The episode could have ended theremdashbutit did not

Rosa Parksrsquos arrest led African Americans inMontgomery to organize a boycottmdasha refusal tousemdashthe cityrsquos buses The boycott organizershoped to hurt the city financially and force it toalter its policies They had strength in num-bersmdashalmost 75 percent of the bus companyrsquosriders were African American

At a boycott meeting a young Baptist minis-ter came forward to speak Not widely known atthe time Dr Martin Luther King Jr made animpact on the crowd He declared

ldquoWersquore here because first and foremost weare American citizens and we are determined toacquire our citizenship to the fullness of itsmeaning We are tiredmdashtired of being segre-gated and humiliated tired of being kickedabout by the brutal feet of oppressionrdquo

The boycott upset many peoplersquos daily livesbut the African Americans of Montgomerypulled together to make it work Students hitch-hiked to school workers walked or rode bikes totheir jobs King helped organize car pools toshuttle people from place to place

The bus boycott lasted for more than a yearCity officials arrested King and other leaders atdifferent times but African Americans heldfirm The local bus company lost thousands ofdollars in fares and downtown businesses lostcustomers Finally the Supreme Court settledthe matter by ruling that the Montgomery bussegregation law was unconstitutional InDecember 1956 the boycott ended

After the Montgomerybus boycott Dr MartinLuther King Jr emergedas the leader of theAfrican American protestmovement What drovehim into this demandingrole in history

The son of a Baptistminister King attendedMorehouse College andwhen he was 18 years olddecided on a career in the

ministry By the time hefirst arrived in Mont-gomery in September1954 as pastor of the Dexter Avenue BaptistChurch he had also metand married Coretta Scott

From the beginning ofthe Montgomery bus boy-cott King encouraged his followers to use non-violent resistance Thismeant that those who

carried out the demon-strations should not fightwith authorities In spiteof his stand on nonvio-lence King often becamethe target of violence

In April 1968 Kingwas in Memphis Ten-nessee to support astrike of sanitation work-ers There the ministerwas shot while standingon a motel balcony

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

Police in Birmingham Alabama used high-pressure water hoses against civil rightsmarchers Sit-ins were another form ofprotest What was the purpose of theFreedom Rides

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

The Brown DecisionThe NAACP (National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People) had worked onbehalf of African Americans since its founding in1909 In the 1950s NAACP lawyers searched forcases they could use to challenge the laws allow-ing the segregation of public education

The Supreme Court had upheld segregationlaws in the past In 1896 in Plessy v Ferguson ithad ruled that ldquoseparate but equalrdquo public facil-ities were legal Thurgood Marshall the chieflawyer for the NAACP decided to challenge theidea of ldquoseparate but equalrdquo The NAACP beganto decide which among the nationrsquos segregatedschool districts to bring before the Court Seven-year-old African American Linda Brown wasnot permitted to attend an all-white elementary

school just blocks from her house The Brownfamily sued the school system but lost Marshalland the NAACP appealed the case all the way tothe Supreme Court

The case of Brown v Board of Education of Topeka Kansas combined with several simi-lar cases reached the Supreme Court in Decem-ber 1952 Marshall argued that segregatedschools were not and could not be equal towhite schools For that reason segregatedschools violated the Fourteenth Amendment

On May 17 1954 the Court unanimouslyruled in Brown v Board of Education of TopekaKansas that it was unconstitutional to separateschoolchildren by race The Brown decisionreversed the Courtrsquos decision in Plessy v Fergu-son (See page 997 for a summary of the Brown decision)

Integrating the SchoolsThe Courtrsquos decision in Brown v Board of Edu-

cation called on school authorities to make plansfor integratingmdashbringing races togethermdashinpublic schools The Court also ordered that inte-gration was to be carried out ldquowith all deliberatespeedrdquomdashas fast as reasonably possible

Some school systems integrated quicklyHowever in parts of the South local leadersvowed to keep African American children out ofwhite schools A clash between the federal gov-ernment and these states seemed unavoidable

Confrontation in Little RockIn 1957 a federal judge ordered Central High

School in Little Rock Arkansas an all-whiteschool to admit African American studentsArkansas governor Orval Faubus opposed inte-gration In September he called out the statersquosNational Guard to prevent African Americansfrom entering the high school

On the first day of classes armed members ofthe National Guard blocked the schoolrsquos entranceand turned away nine African American students

One of them 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckfordrecalled that when she tried to squeeze past amember of the guard

ldquoHe raised his bayonet and then the otherguards moved in and raised their bayonetsrdquo

For the first time since the Civil War a South-ern state had defied the authority of the federalgovernment Although Eisenhower had somedoubts about the Brown decision he believed itwas his duty to enforce the law The presidentwarned Faubus that if the governor did notadmit the students the federal governmentwould act

When a federal judge ruled that the governorhad violated federal law Faubus removed theNational Guard Eisenhower sent hundreds ofsoldiers to Little Rock to patrol the schoolgrounds and protect the students Shielded bythe federal troops the nine African Americanstudents entered the school

Gains on Other FrontsWhile school integration continued African

Americans made other advances in securing theirrights More and more took part in a movementdedicated to securing fair and equal treatment

The Montgomery Bus BoycottOn the evening of December 1 1955 Rosa

Parks boarded a bus in downtown MontgomeryAlabama Parks a seamstress was secretary ofthe local chapter of the NAACP She found anempty seat in the section reserved for whites

When white passengers entered the bus thedriver told Parks an African American tomove to the rear of the bus Parks refused Atthe next bus stop she was taken off the bus bypolice arrested for breaking the law and fined$10 The episode could have ended theremdashbutit did not

Rosa Parksrsquos arrest led African Americans inMontgomery to organize a boycottmdasha refusal tousemdashthe cityrsquos buses The boycott organizershoped to hurt the city financially and force it toalter its policies They had strength in num-bersmdashalmost 75 percent of the bus companyrsquosriders were African American

At a boycott meeting a young Baptist minis-ter came forward to speak Not widely known atthe time Dr Martin Luther King Jr made animpact on the crowd He declared

ldquoWersquore here because first and foremost weare American citizens and we are determined toacquire our citizenship to the fullness of itsmeaning We are tiredmdashtired of being segre-gated and humiliated tired of being kickedabout by the brutal feet of oppressionrdquo

The boycott upset many peoplersquos daily livesbut the African Americans of Montgomerypulled together to make it work Students hitch-hiked to school workers walked or rode bikes totheir jobs King helped organize car pools toshuttle people from place to place

The bus boycott lasted for more than a yearCity officials arrested King and other leaders atdifferent times but African Americans heldfirm The local bus company lost thousands ofdollars in fares and downtown businesses lostcustomers Finally the Supreme Court settledthe matter by ruling that the Montgomery bussegregation law was unconstitutional InDecember 1956 the boycott ended

After the Montgomerybus boycott Dr MartinLuther King Jr emergedas the leader of theAfrican American protestmovement What drovehim into this demandingrole in history

The son of a Baptistminister King attendedMorehouse College andwhen he was 18 years olddecided on a career in the

ministry By the time hefirst arrived in Mont-gomery in September1954 as pastor of the Dexter Avenue BaptistChurch he had also metand married Coretta Scott

From the beginning ofthe Montgomery bus boy-cott King encouraged his followers to use non-violent resistance Thismeant that those who

carried out the demon-strations should not fightwith authorities In spiteof his stand on nonvio-lence King often becamethe target of violence

In April 1968 Kingwas in Memphis Ten-nessee to support astrike of sanitation work-ers There the ministerwas shot while standingon a motel balcony

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Integrating the SchoolsThe Courtrsquos decision in Brown v Board of Edu-

cation called on school authorities to make plansfor integratingmdashbringing races togethermdashinpublic schools The Court also ordered that inte-gration was to be carried out ldquowith all deliberatespeedrdquomdashas fast as reasonably possible

Some school systems integrated quicklyHowever in parts of the South local leadersvowed to keep African American children out ofwhite schools A clash between the federal gov-ernment and these states seemed unavoidable

Confrontation in Little RockIn 1957 a federal judge ordered Central High

School in Little Rock Arkansas an all-whiteschool to admit African American studentsArkansas governor Orval Faubus opposed inte-gration In September he called out the statersquosNational Guard to prevent African Americansfrom entering the high school

On the first day of classes armed members ofthe National Guard blocked the schoolrsquos entranceand turned away nine African American students

One of them 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckfordrecalled that when she tried to squeeze past amember of the guard

ldquoHe raised his bayonet and then the otherguards moved in and raised their bayonetsrdquo

For the first time since the Civil War a South-ern state had defied the authority of the federalgovernment Although Eisenhower had somedoubts about the Brown decision he believed itwas his duty to enforce the law The presidentwarned Faubus that if the governor did notadmit the students the federal governmentwould act

When a federal judge ruled that the governorhad violated federal law Faubus removed theNational Guard Eisenhower sent hundreds ofsoldiers to Little Rock to patrol the schoolgrounds and protect the students Shielded bythe federal troops the nine African Americanstudents entered the school

Gains on Other FrontsWhile school integration continued African

Americans made other advances in securing theirrights More and more took part in a movementdedicated to securing fair and equal treatment

The Montgomery Bus BoycottOn the evening of December 1 1955 Rosa

Parks boarded a bus in downtown MontgomeryAlabama Parks a seamstress was secretary ofthe local chapter of the NAACP She found anempty seat in the section reserved for whites

When white passengers entered the bus thedriver told Parks an African American tomove to the rear of the bus Parks refused Atthe next bus stop she was taken off the bus bypolice arrested for breaking the law and fined$10 The episode could have ended theremdashbutit did not

Rosa Parksrsquos arrest led African Americans inMontgomery to organize a boycottmdasha refusal tousemdashthe cityrsquos buses The boycott organizershoped to hurt the city financially and force it toalter its policies They had strength in num-bersmdashalmost 75 percent of the bus companyrsquosriders were African American

At a boycott meeting a young Baptist minis-ter came forward to speak Not widely known atthe time Dr Martin Luther King Jr made animpact on the crowd He declared

ldquoWersquore here because first and foremost weare American citizens and we are determined toacquire our citizenship to the fullness of itsmeaning We are tiredmdashtired of being segre-gated and humiliated tired of being kickedabout by the brutal feet of oppressionrdquo

The boycott upset many peoplersquos daily livesbut the African Americans of Montgomerypulled together to make it work Students hitch-hiked to school workers walked or rode bikes totheir jobs King helped organize car pools toshuttle people from place to place

The bus boycott lasted for more than a yearCity officials arrested King and other leaders atdifferent times but African Americans heldfirm The local bus company lost thousands ofdollars in fares and downtown businesses lostcustomers Finally the Supreme Court settledthe matter by ruling that the Montgomery bussegregation law was unconstitutional InDecember 1956 the boycott ended

After the Montgomerybus boycott Dr MartinLuther King Jr emergedas the leader of theAfrican American protestmovement What drovehim into this demandingrole in history

The son of a Baptistminister King attendedMorehouse College andwhen he was 18 years olddecided on a career in the

ministry By the time hefirst arrived in Mont-gomery in September1954 as pastor of the Dexter Avenue BaptistChurch he had also metand married Coretta Scott

From the beginning ofthe Montgomery bus boy-cott King encouraged his followers to use non-violent resistance Thismeant that those who

carried out the demon-strations should not fightwith authorities In spiteof his stand on nonvio-lence King often becamethe target of violence

In April 1968 Kingwas in Memphis Ten-nessee to support astrike of sanitation work-ers There the ministerwas shot while standingon a motel balcony

Nonviolent ProtestWith the victory in Montgomery King

became a leader of the civil rights movementHe followed the tactics of A Philip Randolphthe nationrsquos most prominent African Americanlabor leader King was also strongly influencedby Mohandas Gandhi who had used nonvio-lent protest to help India gain independencefrom Great Britain In keeping with his beliefsGandhi used protest methods based on civildisobedience or the refusal to obey laws thatare considered unjust

In January 1957 King and 60 other ministersstarted a new organization called the SouthernChristian Leadership Conference (SCLC)SCLC leaders emphasized nonviolent protestThey showed civil rights workers how to protectthemselves from violent attacks The SCLC alsodiscussed how to identify targets for protests andhow to organize people for support In takingthese steps the SCLC prepared African Ameri-cans for the struggle for equal rights

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Mrs Bertha Flowers was thearistocrat of Black StampsShe had the grace of con-

trol to appear warm in the coldestweather and on the Arkansas sum-mer days it seemed she had a pri-vate breeze which swirled aroundcooling her

She was one of the few gentle-women I have ever known and hasremained throughout my life themeasure of what a human beingcan be

Momma had a strange relation-ship with her Most often when she passed on the road in front ofthe Store she spoke to Momma inthat soft yet carrying voice ldquoGoodday Mrs Hendersonrdquo Mommaresponded with ldquoHow you SisterFlowersrdquo

Mrs Flowers didnrsquot belong toour church nor was she Mommarsquosfamiliar Why on earth did sheinsist on calling her Sister Flow-ers Shame made me want to hide

my face Mrs Flowers deservedbetter than to be called SisterThen Momma left out the verbWhy not ask ldquoHow are youMrs Flowersrdquo With the unbal-anced passion of the young Ihated her for showing herignorance to Mrs Flowers Itdidnrsquot occur to me for manyyears that they were as alikeas sisters separated only byformal education

Occasionally though Mrs Flow-ers would drift off the road anddown to the Store and Mommawould say to me ldquoSister you go onand playrdquo As I left I would hear thebeginning of an intimate conversa-tion Momma persistently using thewrong verb or none at all

I heard the soft-voiced MrsFlowers and the textured voice ofmy grandmother merging and melt-ing They were interrupted fromtime to time by giggles that musthave come from Mrs Flowers

She acted just as refined aswhitefolks in the movies and booksand she was more beautiful fornone of them could have come nearthat warm color without lookinggray by comparison

Momma had a strange relation-ship with her Most often when she passed on the road in front ofthe Store she spoke to Momma inthat soft yet carrying voice ldquoGoodday Mrs Hendersonrdquo Mommaresponded with ldquoHow you SisterFlowersrdquo

Mrs Flowers didnrsquot belong toour church nor was she Mommarsquosfamiliar Why on earth did sheinsist on calling her Sister Flow-ers Shame made me want to hide

my face Mrs Flowers deservedbetter than to be called SisterThen Momma left out the verbWhy not ask ldquoHow are youMrs Flowersrdquo With the unbal-anced passion of the young Ihated her for showing herignorance to Mrs Flowers Itdidnrsquot occur to me for manyyears that they were as alikeas sisters separated only byformal education

Occasionally though Mrs Flow-ers would drift off the road anddown to the Store and Mommawould say to me ldquoSister you go onand playrdquo As I left I would hear thebeginning of an intimate conversa-tion Momma persistently using thewrong verb or none at all

I heard the soft-voiced MrsFlowers and the textured voice ofmy grandmother merging and melt-ing They were interrupted fromtime to time by giggles that musthave come from Mrs Flowers

She acted just as refined aswhitefolks in the movies and booksand she was more beautiful fornone of them could have come nearthat warm color without lookinggray by comparison

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Gains on Other FrontsWhile school integration continued African

Americans made other advances in securing theirrights More and more took part in a movementdedicated to securing fair and equal treatment

The Montgomery Bus BoycottOn the evening of December 1 1955 Rosa

Parks boarded a bus in downtown MontgomeryAlabama Parks a seamstress was secretary ofthe local chapter of the NAACP She found anempty seat in the section reserved for whites

When white passengers entered the bus thedriver told Parks an African American tomove to the rear of the bus Parks refused Atthe next bus stop she was taken off the bus bypolice arrested for breaking the law and fined$10 The episode could have ended theremdashbutit did not

Rosa Parksrsquos arrest led African Americans inMontgomery to organize a boycottmdasha refusal tousemdashthe cityrsquos buses The boycott organizershoped to hurt the city financially and force it toalter its policies They had strength in num-bersmdashalmost 75 percent of the bus companyrsquosriders were African American

At a boycott meeting a young Baptist minis-ter came forward to speak Not widely known atthe time Dr Martin Luther King Jr made animpact on the crowd He declared

ldquoWersquore here because first and foremost weare American citizens and we are determined toacquire our citizenship to the fullness of itsmeaning We are tiredmdashtired of being segre-gated and humiliated tired of being kickedabout by the brutal feet of oppressionrdquo

The boycott upset many peoplersquos daily livesbut the African Americans of Montgomerypulled together to make it work Students hitch-hiked to school workers walked or rode bikes totheir jobs King helped organize car pools toshuttle people from place to place

The bus boycott lasted for more than a yearCity officials arrested King and other leaders atdifferent times but African Americans heldfirm The local bus company lost thousands ofdollars in fares and downtown businesses lostcustomers Finally the Supreme Court settledthe matter by ruling that the Montgomery bussegregation law was unconstitutional InDecember 1956 the boycott ended

After the Montgomerybus boycott Dr MartinLuther King Jr emergedas the leader of theAfrican American protestmovement What drovehim into this demandingrole in history

The son of a Baptistminister King attendedMorehouse College andwhen he was 18 years olddecided on a career in the

ministry By the time hefirst arrived in Mont-gomery in September1954 as pastor of the Dexter Avenue BaptistChurch he had also metand married Coretta Scott

From the beginning ofthe Montgomery bus boy-cott King encouraged his followers to use non-violent resistance Thismeant that those who

carried out the demon-strations should not fightwith authorities In spiteof his stand on nonvio-lence King often becamethe target of violence

In April 1968 Kingwas in Memphis Ten-nessee to support astrike of sanitation work-ers There the ministerwas shot while standingon a motel balcony

In January 1957 King and 60 other ministersstarted a new organization called the SouthernChristian Leadership Conference (SCLC)SCLC leaders emphasized nonviolent protestThey showed civil rights workers how to protectthemselves from violent attacks The SCLC alsodiscussed how to identify targets for protests andhow to organize people for support In takingthese steps the SCLC prepared African Ameri-cans for the struggle for equal rights

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Describing What happened onNovember 22 1963

The ldquoGreat SocietyrdquoSoon after becoming president Lyndon B

Johnson outlined a set of programs even moreambitious than Kennedyrsquos New Frontier Hecalled his proposals the ldquoGreat Societyrdquo In aspeech he explained his vision of America

ldquoIn a land of great wealth families must notlive in hopeless poverty In a land rich in har-vest children must not go hungry In a greatland of learning and scholars young peoplemust be taught to read and writerdquo

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

The Movement GrowsA new wave of civil rights activity swept across the nation in the 1960s Early

activity targeted segregation in the South Segregation existed in the North as wellIn Northern cities and suburbs African Americans and whites often lived in dif-ferent neighborhoods as a result their children often attended different schools

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

Freedom SummerCongress did not pass Kennedyrsquos civil rights

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

persuaded Congress to pass the bill The CivilRights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination inhiring and ended segregation in stores restau-rants theaters and hotels Yet in many statesAfrican Americans still could not vote Poll taxesand other discriminatory laws prevented themfrom exercising this right

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

ldquoIn a land of great wealth families must notlive in hopeless poverty In a land rich in har-vest children must not go hungry In a greatland of learning and scholars young peoplemust be taught to read and writerdquo

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

Police in Birmingham Alabama used high-pressure water hoses against civil rightsmarchers Sit-ins were another form ofprotest What was the purpose of theFreedom Rides

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Occasionally though Mrs Flow-ers would drift off the road anddown to the Store and Mommawould say to me ldquoSister you go onand playrdquo As I left I would hear thebeginning of an intimate conversa-tion Momma persistently using thewrong verb or none at all

I heard the soft-voiced MrsFlowers and the textured voice ofmy grandmother merging and melt-ing They were interrupted fromtime to time by giggles that musthave come from Mrs Flowers

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

The Movement GrowsA new wave of civil rights activity swept across the nation in the 1960s Early

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

Police in Birmingham Alabama used high-pressure water hoses against civil rightsmarchers Sit-ins were another form ofprotest What was the purpose of theFreedom Rides

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

845CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

For much of the campaign polls showedNixon in the lead One reason for this was thefact that Kennedy was Roman Catholic NoCatholic had ever been president and manyAmericans feared that if Kennedy won he mightshow more loyalty to his church than to hiscountry Kennedy answered by stressing hisbelief in the separation of church and state

John F KennedyKennedy came from one of the countryrsquos

wealthiest and most powerful families Hisfather Joseph P Kennedy was a successful busi-ness leader and the American ambassador toBritain at the start of World War II

John Kennedy joined the United States Navyduring World War II and was assigned toactive duty in the Pacific When the Japanesesank the PT (patrol torpedo) boat he com-manded Kennedy saved the life of a crewmember by swimming to shore with theinjured man on his back The rescue effort ledto navy and marine medals for Kennedy butalso aggravated an old back injury he had Thestory of the rescue was later described inRobert Donovanrsquos book PT 109

Kennedyrsquos political career began in 1946when he won a seat in Congress from Massa-chusetts Six years later he was elected to theUnited States Senate The young senator wrote abook Profiles in Courage which described diffi-cult political decisions made by past UnitedStates senators The book became a best-seller

and received a Pulitzer Prize After easily win-ning reelection to the Senate in 1958 Kennedycampaigned for the presidency in 1960

A New PresidentThe turning point in the 1960 election came

when the candidates took part in the first tele-vised presidential debates Kennedy appearedhandsome and youthful Nixon who was recov-ering from an illness looked tired and sickKennedy spoke with confidence about thefuture Many viewers thought that Kennedymade a better impression

In November nearly 70 million voters turnedout to choose between Nixon and Kennedy Forthe first time the people of Alaska and Hawaiitook part in a presidential election The resultswere extremely close In the popular voteKennedy won 497 percent while Nixon received495 percent In the electoral vote Kennedy gaineda greater margin over Nixonmdash303 to 219 votes

Identifying Who were the presi-dential candidates in 1960

The New FrontierOn January 20 1961 snow covered Washing-

ton DC and icy winds whipped through thecity Still thousands of people streamed to theCapitol to see John Fitzgerald Kennedy becomethe thirty-fifth president of the United States (See page 995 for part of President Kennedyrsquos Inaugural Address)

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

Describing What happened onNovember 22 1963

The ldquoGreat SocietyrdquoSoon after becoming president Lyndon B

Johnson outlined a set of programs even moreambitious than Kennedyrsquos New Frontier Hecalled his proposals the ldquoGreat Societyrdquo In aspeech he explained his vision of America

ldquoIn a land of great wealth families must notlive in hopeless poverty In a land rich in har-vest children must not go hungry In a greatland of learning and scholars young peoplemust be taught to read and writerdquo

Johnson had acquired great skill as a legisla-tor during his 22 years in Congress He used thisskill to persuade Congress to launch programsthat would make the Great Society real

The War on PovertyIn January 1964 President Johnson declared

ldquoan unconditional war on poverty in AmericardquoThe first part of his plan for a Great Society consisted of programs to help Americans wholived below the poverty linemdashthe minimumincome needed to survive A program calledHead Start provided preschool education forthe children of poor families Upward Boundhelped poor students attend college The JobCorps offered training to young people whowanted to work Volunteers in Service to Amer-ica (VISTA) was a kind of domestic peace corpsof citizens working in poor neighborhoods

Among the most important laws passedunder Johnson were those establishingMedicare and Medicaid Medicare helped payfor medical care for senior citizens Medicaidhelped poor people pay their hospital bills

Helping Cities and SchoolsOther parts of the Great Society targeted the

nationrsquos crumbling cities In 1966 President John-son established the Department of Housing andUrban Development (HUD) which helped fundpublic housing projects Another program ModelCities provided money to help rebuild citiesSchools received a boost from the Elementaryand Secondary Education Act of 1965 whichgreatly increased spending for education

Civil RightsAlthough raised in the South Lyndon John-

son was not a segregationist He believed thatthe nation must protect the rights of all Ameri-can citizens When Johnson took office hevowed to turn the civil rights bill Kennedy hadproposed into law In early 1964 he warned Congress that ldquoWe are going to pass a civilrights bill if it takes all summerrdquo

With growing support across the nation for thegoals of the civil rights movement Congresspassed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in July Theact prohibited discrimination against AfricanAmericans in employment voting and publicaccommodations It banned discrimination notonly by race and color but also by sex religionor national origin

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

Police in Birmingham Alabama used high-pressure water hoses against civil rightsmarchers Sit-ins were another form ofprotest What was the purpose of theFreedom Rides

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

He offered the nation youth energy and hopeIn his Inaugural Address Kennedy spoke of anew era

ldquoLet the word go forth from this time andplace that the torch has been passed to anew generation of Americansrdquo

The young president promised to face thenationrsquos challenges with determination In closingKennedy roused the American people to action

ldquoAnd so my fellow Americans ask not whatyour country can do for youmdashask what you cando for your countryrdquo

Domestic PoliciesKennedy drew up plans for the New Frontier

a group of proposals involving social programsOne bill he sent to Congress called for more fed-eral funds for education Another bill aimed tohelp poor people get jobs Reluctant to committo Kennedyrsquos expensive programs Congressfailed to pass most of these bills

Another area of concern for Kennedy was civilrights The president wished to help AfricanAmericans in their fight for equal rights At thesame time he worried that moving too quicklywould anger Southern Democrats in Congresswhose support he needed to enact legislation

In 1963 Kennedy decided to ask Congress topass a bill guaranteeing civil rights The Houseapproved the measure but it stalled in the Sen-ate Meanwhile the president left for a cam-paign trip to Dallas Texas

Kennedy AssassinatedOn November 22 1963 Kennedy arrived in

Dallas with his wife Jacqueline As the presi-dent and the First Lady rode through the streetsin an open car several shots rang out Kennedyslumped against his wife The car sped to a hos-pital but the president was dead Shortly after-ward Vice President Lyndon B Johnson tookthe oath of office as president

The assassination stunned the nation Televi-sion networks broadcast the news almost with-out interruption for the next few days Millionsof Americans numbly watched the funeral

In the midst of the grief came another shockThe day of Kennedyrsquos shooting Dallas policehad arrested Lee Harvey Oswald and chargedhim with killing the president Two days lateras police moved Oswald from one jail toanother Jack Ruby jumped through the circleof police officers and journalists and shot andkilled Oswald

Rumors that a group of enemies had plottedthe assassination swirled around the countrySoon afterward President Johnson appointedEarl Warren chief justice of the United States tohead a commission to investigate the Kennedyshooting After months of study the WarrenCommission issued its report Oswald had actedon his own it said The report did not satisfyeveryone however Many people believed theassassination was a conspiracy or secret plot

The Movement GrowsA new wave of civil rights activity swept across the nation in the 1960s Early

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

The Movement GrowsA new wave of civil rights activity swept across the nation in the 1960s Early

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

Freedom SummerCongress did not pass Kennedyrsquos civil rights

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

persuaded Congress to pass the bill The CivilRights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination inhiring and ended segregation in stores restau-rants theaters and hotels Yet in many statesAfrican Americans still could not vote Poll taxesand other discriminatory laws prevented themfrom exercising this right

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Soon African Americans expanded their goal tofighting discrimination and racism in the Northas well as in the South

High school and college students staged sit-ins in nearly 80 cities A sit-in is the act ofprotesting by sitting down Sit-ins were stagedthroughout the nation against stores that prac-ticed segregation Store managers wanted to endthe disturbances and the loss of business Grad-ually many stores agreed to desegregate

The sit-ins helped launch a new civil rightsgroup the Student Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC) Civil rights activist EllaBaker was a guiding spirit behind SNCC andone of its organizers Earlier Baker had playedimportant roles in both the NAACP and theSCLC SNCC was a key player in the civil rightsmovement for several years

Freedom RidesThe Supreme Court had ruled in 1960 against

segregated bus facilities Another civil rightsgroup the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)decided to see whether the ruling was being enforced On May 4 1961 a group of AfricanAmerican and white CORE members left Wash-ington DC on two buses bound for NewOrleans They called themselves Freedom Riders

The bus trip went smoothly until it reachedAlabama where angry whites stoned and beatthe Freedom Riders

Television and newspapers broadcast reportsof the beatings Robert Kennedy the UnitedStates attorney general asked CORE to stop theFreedom Rides for a ldquocooling-off periodrdquo COREleader James Farmer responded ldquoWe have beencooling off for 350 years If we cool off any morewe will be in a deep freezerdquo

Violence and ArrestsThe Freedom Riders pressed on only to meet

more violence in Birmingham and MontgomeryAlabama There were no mobs waiting for theFreedom Riders in Jackson Mississippi How-ever police state troopers and MississippiNational Guard units were everywhere As theRiders stepped off the bus and tried to enter thewhites-only waiting room at the bus stationthey were arrested for trespassing and jailed

Despite the violence and the jail sentencesmore Freedom Riders kept coming all summerIn the fall the Interstate Commerce Commissiontook steps to enforce the Supreme Court rulingissuing new regulations that banned segregationon interstate busesmdashthose that crossed statelinesmdashand in bus stations

Police in Birmingham Alabama used high-pressure water hoses against civil rightsmarchers Sit-ins were another form ofprotest What was the purpose of theFreedom Rides

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

Freedom SummerCongress did not pass Kennedyrsquos civil rights

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

persuaded Congress to pass the bill The CivilRights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination inhiring and ended segregation in stores restau-rants theaters and hotels Yet in many statesAfrican Americans still could not vote Poll taxesand other discriminatory laws prevented themfrom exercising this right

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

President Johnson stepped in On March 151965 in a televised speech the presidenturged passage of a voting rights bill ldquoAbout

The first major urban riots since the 1940stook place in the summer of 1965 in the Wattssection of Los Angeles In a week of rioting 34people died and much of Watts burned to theground National Guard troops were called in toend the uprising The Watts riot was the first ofa series of racial disorders that hit cities in thesummers of 1965 1966 and 1967

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

CHAPTER 29 The Civil Rights Era

Integrating UniversitiesAfrican Americans continued to apply pres-

sure to secure their civil rights They spurredPresident Kennedy to take a more active role inthe civil rights struggle

In 1962 a federal court ordered the Universityof Mississippi to enroll its first African Americanstudent James Meredith However Mississippigovernor Ross Barnett with the aid of statepolice prevented Meredith from registeringWhen President Kennedy sent federal marshalsto escort Meredith to the campus riots erupted Amob stormed the administration building armedwith guns and rocks The marshals fought backwith tear gas and nightsticks Meredith suc-ceeded in registering but two people were killedFederal troops were stationed at the university toprotect him until he graduated in 1963

Another confrontation between state andfederal power took place in June 1963mdashthistime in Alabama Governor George Wallace

Jackie Robinson Failed to Make the Major Leagues

vowed he would ldquostand in the schoolhousedoorrdquo to block the integration of the Universityof Alabama in Tuscaloosa President Kennedyacting on the advice of his brother sent theAlabama National Guard to ensure the entry ofAfrican Americans to the university As aresult Wallace backed down

BirminghamIn the spring of 1963 Dr Martin Luther King

Jr and the SCLC targeted BirminghamAlabama for a desegregation protest Policearrested hundreds of demonstrators includingKing but the demonstrations continued DuringKingrsquos two weeks in jail he wrote the eloquentldquoLetter from Birmingham Jailrdquo in which he wrote

ldquoFor years now I have heard the word lsquoWaitrsquoIt rings in the ear of every Negro with piercingfamiliarity This lsquoWaitrsquo has almost always meantlsquoNeverrsquo We must come to see that lsquojusticetoo long delayed is justice deniedrsquordquo

Can you imagine major league base-ball without such superstars as SammySosa or Ken Griffey Jr Yet these greatplayers may never have had the chanceif not for Jackie Robinson When Robin-son first played for the BrooklynDodgers on April 15th 1947 he becamethe first African American in the twenti-eth century to play major league base-ball His outstanding play and courage inthe face of adversity led to the signing ofmany more African American players

Yet what if Robinson had failedSome sports historians believe that manymore years might haved passed beforeanother chance opened for an AfricanAmerican player Robinsonrsquos wifeRachel notes ldquoJack knew that by break-ing the color barrier he was not onlypaving the way for minorities in profes-

sional sports but was also providingopportunities in all facets of life rdquo

Houston Federal Judge David Hittnerechoes those sentiments

ldquoI think the start of the heavy civilrights movement came with thebreaking of the color barrier inmajor league baseball It was one ofthe great indications of the impetusof the civil rights movement in theUnited States To me it really was thestart It showed a lot of folks thathere was the concept of equality Itnailed many nails in the coffin par-ticularly in terms of the perceptionof inferiority Jackie Robinson was a pioneer He had to stand there andtake it just so others could maybesomeday get to where he wasrdquo

With Robinsonrsquos success came inte-gration in other sports By the mid-1950s African American athletes hadestablished themselves as a powerfulforce in almost all professional sports

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

Freedom SummerCongress did not pass Kennedyrsquos civil rights

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

1 If Robinson had failed in baseball how would the inte-gration of other sports have progressed

2 What did Robinsonrsquos achievement mean to the civilrights movement What did it mean to Americans whoopposed the integration of baseball

Days later the president introduced new leg-islation giving all Americans the right to beserved in public places and barring discrimina-tion in employment

March on WashingtonTo rally support for the civil rights bill Dr

Martin Luther King Jr and the SCLC organizeda massive march in Washington DC onAugust 28 1963 More than 200000 people ofall colors and from all over the country arrivedto take part Emily Rock a 15-year-old AfricanAmerican described how she felt at the march

ldquoThere was this sense of hope for thefuturemdashthe belief that this march was the bigstep in the right direction It could be heard inthe voices of the people singing and seen in theway they walked It poured out into smilesrdquo

About 6000 police officers stood nearby butthey had nothing to do but direct traffic Therewas no trouble Proceeding with great dignityand joy the marchers carried signs urging Con-gress to act They sang songs including one thatwas becoming the anthem of the civil rightsmovement ldquoWe Shall Overcomerdquo (See page 977

of the Primary Sources Library for the words to this song)

Late in the afternoon Dr Martin Luther KingJr spoke to the crowd in ringing words of hisdesire to see America transformed

ldquoI have a dream that one day this nation willrise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed lsquoWe hold these truths to be self-evidentthat all men are created equalrsquo When we letfreedom ring we will be able to speed upthat day when all of Godrsquos children [will] joinhands and sing in the words of the old spiritual lsquoFree at last Free at last ThankGod Almighty we are free at lastrsquordquo (See page 996 for more of this famous speech)

Freedom SummerCongress did not pass Kennedyrsquos civil rights

bill until after his death President Lyndon B Johnson who succeeded Kennedy finally

National television carried vivid pictures ofpolice setting snarling police dogs on unarmeddemonstrators and washing small childrenacross streets with the powerful impact of firehoses President Kennedy sent 3000 troops torestore peace On June 11 1963 in Jackson Mis-sissippi Medgar Evers state field secretary forthe NAACP was murdered The murder and theevents in Alabama forced President Kennedy tomake a decision Appearing on national televi-sion Kennedy spoke of the ldquomoral issuerdquo facingthe nation

ldquoThe heart of the question is whether allAmericans are to be afforded equal rights andequal opportunities whether we are going totreat our fellow Americans as we want to betreated If an American because his skin is darkcannot enjoy the full and free life which all ofus want then who among us would be contentto have the color of his skin changed and standin his placerdquo

this there can be no argumentrdquo he saidldquoEvery American citizen must have an equalright to voterdquo In August Johnson signed theVoting Rights Act of 1965 into law The actgave the federal government the power toforce local officials to allow African Americansto register to vote

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

During the summer of 1964 thousands ofcivil rights workers spread throughout theSouth to help African Americans register tovote They called the campaign Freedom Sum-mer but the workers faced strong sometimesviolent opposition

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

President Johnson stepped in On March 151965 in a televised speech the presidenturged passage of a voting rights bill ldquoAbout

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

The act led to dramatic changes in politicallife in the South In 1966 about 100 AfricanAmericans held elective office in the South By1972 that number had increased 10 times

Analyzing Why were sit-ins aneffective strategy against segregation

Other VoicesBy the mid-1960s the civil rights movement

had won numerous victories Yet a growing num-ber of African Americans grew tired of the slowpace of change and bitter over white attacks

Malcolm X a leader in the Nation of Islam (orBlack Muslims) emerged as an important newvoice for some African Americans Malcolm Xcriticized the civil rights goal of integrationdeclaring that the best way for African Ameri-cans to achieve justice was to separate them-selves from whites

Malcolm X gained increasing support By1965 however he had begun to change hisideas Instead of racial separation he called forldquoa society in which there could exist honestwhite-black brotherhoodrdquo Soon afterwards hewas killed by an assassin from a rival groupamong the Black Muslims His fiery words andpassionate ideas contained in his autobiogra-phy and other writings continued to influencethe civil rights movement after his death

Black PowerOther African American leaders embraced

more radical approaches Stokely Carmichaelwho became the leader of SNCC advanced theidea of Black Power This was a philosophy ofracial pride that said African Americans shouldcreate their own culture and political institu-tions Carmichael and other radicals called attimes for revolution a complete transformation

The Right to VoteThe next year SNCC organized a major

demonstration in Selma Alabama to protestthe continued denial of African Americansrsquo rightto vote Police attacks on the marchers againdramatized the cause

President Johnson stepped in On March 151965 in a televised speech the presidenturged passage of a voting rights bill ldquoAbout

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Uniting for ActionIn 1966 feministsmdashactivists for womenrsquos

rightsmdashcreated the National Organization forWomen (NOW) NOW fought for equal rightsfor women in all aspects of lifemdashin jobs educa-tion and marriage

Among its early successes NOW helped endseparate classified employment ads for men andwomen and airline rules that required femaleflight attendants to retire at age 32 In the 1960sand 1970s NOW and similar groups worked toincrease the number of women entering the pro-fessions Banks realtors and department storeswere forced to grant loans mortgages and creditthat they long had denied to female applicants

In the early 1970s NOW launched a campaignfor an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to theConstitution The amendment stated that ldquoequalityof rights under the law shall not be denied orabridged by the United States or by any state onaccount of sexrdquo Phyllis Schlafly and other oppo-nents of the ERA warned that the amendmentwould upset the traditional roles of society andlead to the breakdown of the family Some peopleargued that the amendment was unnecessarybecause the Constitution already provided womenwith adequate protection In the end not enoughstates ratified the amendment to make it law

Women Gain OpportunitiesDespite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amend-

ment women progressed in a number of areasin the 1970s In 1972 the federal government

outlawed discrimina-tion against women ineducational programsreceiving federal fundsThis law along withthe efforts of many busi-nesses helped womenbegin to make advancesin the world of work

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

Cubans ArriveAfter the Cuban Revolution of

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

These immigrants settled allover the United States The largest

number of Cubans settled in southFlorida where they have established

a thriving community

In 1975 Hispanic people and othergroups won a victory with the exten-sion of voting rights The new lawrequired that registration and voting becarried out in other languages as wellas in English This was designed to helpthose citizens who might not read orspeak English Election materials forexample are available in Spanishand English in many states

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

Working for equal treatment

In February 1973 AIM occupied the smalltown of Wounded Knee South Dakota the siteof the 1890 massacre of Sioux by federal troops Inthe early 1970s Wounded Knee was part of alarge Sioux reservation The people there sufferedfrom terrible poverty and ill health

AIM leaders vowed to stay until the govern-ment met demands for change and investigatedthe treatment of Native Americans The siegeended on May 8 but it focused national attentionon the terrible conditions under which NativeAmericans lived

Americans With DisabilitiesPeople with physical disabilities also sought

equal treatment in the 1960s and the 1970s Con-gress responded by passing a number of laws

One law concerned the removal of barriersthat prevented some people from gaining accessto public facilities Another required employersto offer more opportunities for disabled peoplein the workplace Yet another asserted the rightof children with disabilities to equal educationalopportunities As a result of these actions peo-ple with disabilities enjoy more job opportuni-ties better access to public facilities and agreater role in society

Hispanic AmericansIn the 1960s the rapidly growing Hispanic

population sought equal rights The term His-panic American refers to those Americans whohave come or are descended from others whohave come to the United States from the coun-tries of Latin America and Spain From 3 millionin 1960 the Hispanic population in the UnitedStates rose to 9 million by 1970 and to 15 millionby 1980 Although they share the heritage of theSpanish culture and language Hispanics are adiverse group with different histories

Farmworkers OrganizeBy far the largest Hispanic group in the

United States comes from the country of MexicoBy 1980 more than eight million Mexican Amer-icans were living in the United States

The fight for rights started among MexicanAmerican migrant farmworkers These peoplewho planted and harvested a large share of thenationrsquos food supply faced great hardships Themigrant farmers did backbreaking work labor-ing from dawn until dusk for low wages Whenone job ended they had to travel from farm tofarm in search of the next job

In the early 1960s migrant workers formedunions to fight for better wages and workingconditions Their leader Ceacutesar Chaacutevez organ-ized thousands of farmworkers into the UnitedFarm Workers (UFW)

The union went on strike and organizednationwide boycotts Consumers acrossthe country supported the UFW byrefusing to buy grapes lettuce andother farm produce under boycottThe success of the boycottsenabled the UFW to win higherwages and shorter work hoursfor many farmworkers

The union boycott was fol-lowed by emerging politicalpower among Hispanic Ameri-cans In the years that followedHispanic Americans would jointogether in an organization called LaRaza Unida to fight discrimination

and to elect Hispanics to government posts TheLeague of United Latin American Citizens(LULAC) won lawsuits in federal court to guar-antee Hispanic Americans the right to serve onjuries and the right to send their children tounsegregated schools

Puerto RicansPuerto Ricans another major group of His-

panics come from the island of Puerto Rico acommonwealth of the United States They areAmerican citizens who have made major contri-butions to the United States

In 1970 the first representative to Congress ofPuerto Rican origin Herman Badillo waselected from New York City After four termsBadillo served as the cityrsquos deputy mayor Base-ball all-time great Roberto Clemente performedheroically both on and off the baseball diamondIn 1972 Clemente died in a plane crash whiledelivering relief supplies to earthquake victims inNicaragua

Because Puerto Rico is not a wealthy islandmany Puerto Ricans have migrated to Americancities in search of jobs By 1970 they made up 10percent of the population of New York City Aswith African Americans though they oftenfaced discrimination in their job search leadingto no work or work for low pay Many of thechildren and grandchildren of the Puerto Ricanswho arrived in New York in the 1960s migratedto neighboring states but many Puerto Ricansremained in New York City

1959 dictator Fidel Castro estab-lished a Communist governmentand seized the property of manyCubans More than 200000 peo-ple opposed to Castro fled to theUnited States in the 1960s Thou-sands more came in the 1980s

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest

ExplainingWhy did many Cubans flee theirhomeland in the 1960s

Native AmericansThe years after World War

II were a time of transition forNative Americans Starting in theearly 1950s the federal government urgedNative Americans to leave the reservations towork in cities Federal policy also tried toweaken the power of tribal government

This policy did not improve the lives ofNative Americans Many could not find jobs inthe cities Those still crowded on reservationsenjoyed few jobs or other opportunities Morethan one-third of Native Americans lived belowthe poverty line Unemployment was wide-spreadmdashas high as 50 percent in some areas A1966 study revealed that Native Americans suf-fered so much from malnutrition and diseasethat their life expectancy was only 46 years

Efforts to OrganizeIn the 1960s Native Americans organized to

combat these problems They wanted politicalpower and they demanded independence fromthe United States government Native Americansalso increasingly emphasized their own historylanguage and culture in their schools TheNational Congress of American Indians (NCAI)sought more control over Native Americanaffairs

In 1961 more than 400 members of 67 NativeAmerican nations gathered in Chicago In a Dec-laration of Indian Purpose these delegates

stated that Native Americans have the ldquoright tochoose our own way of liferdquo and maintainedthat ldquoa treaty in the minds of our people is aneternal wordrdquo

The federal government recognized theNative Americansrsquo issues Congress passed theIndian Civil Rights Act of 1968 which formallyprotected the constitutional rights of all NativeAmericans At the same time the new law rec-ognized the right of Native American nations tomake laws on their reservations

A Supreme Court decision in the 1970s reaf-firmed the independence of tribal governmentsOther court decisions confirmed Native Ameri-cansrsquo rights to land granted in treaties

American Indian MovementBelieving the process of change too slow some

younger Native Americans began taking strongeractions In 1968 a group established the AmericanIndian Movement (AIM) which worked for equalrights and improvement of living conditions

AIM was founded by Clyde Bellecourt DennisBanks and others Later Russell Means became aleader AIM carried out several protests In

In the 1973 AIM takeover of Wounded KneeNative American leaders Russell Means (left)and Dennis Banks (right) protested brokentreaties and civil rights violations Why wasWounded Knee chosen as the place for the AIM protest
