Brown v. Board of Education
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court declared segregated schools to be unconstitutional.
The Georgia General Assembly was opposed to this ruling and declared the decision null (useless) and void (reject).
![Page 9: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Brown v. Board of Education
The Georgia General Assembly threatened to stop funding, and in some cases, allow the
Governor to close any school that desegregated.
A year after the Brown verdict, another court case ruled that schools must be desegregated
with “all deliberate speed” which allowed southern states to take their time desegregating
schools.

Brown v. Board of Education
Turn to an elbow partner and discuss the following:
What were the advantages and disadvantages of the Brown v.
Board of Education ruling?
![Page 14: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sibley Commission
After the Brown v. Board of Education supreme court decision, the Georgia General Assembly
supported “massive resistance” to the desegregation of Georgia’s public schools.
The Governor at the time was faced with the choice of following federal mandates (orders) or closing Georgia’s public schools. He wanted the input of
voters to help make a decision.
![Page 15: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sibley Commission
A committee was created to investigate Georgian’s opinions on the matter.
John Sibley, a segregationist lawyer, led 10 hearings across the state to determine if
Georgians felt that they should continue to resist the federal government or change laws
to integrate schools.
![Page 16: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sibley Commission
After the sessions, 60% of Georgians claimed that they would rather close the public
schools than to integrate.
Despite the findings, Sibley pushed for schools in Georgia to desegregate on a limited basis. The
governor asked the General Assembly to accept Sibley’s recommendations after his failed
attempts to close the University of Georgia.
![Page 17: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sibley Commission
How did the findings from the Sibley Commission explain the public’s reaction to the Brown v. Board of
Education ruling?
![Page 18: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Brown v. Board of Education verdict was in 1954, but it was not until 1961 that Atlanta became the first system to integrate. Ten years later, all school systems in the state
were desegregated.
![Page 19: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

![Page 20: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
They were not accepted by the university based on their race, but the university claimed it was
due to lack of housing along with Holmes “evasiveness” during a campus interview.
Desegregation of the University of Georgia
The two students brought their case to federal court and after three weeks, the court ruled in
their favor. They began classes in January 1961.

started a riot on campus and threw bricks and rocks through Hunter’s dorm window.

Throughout the 1960s, civil rights groups worked to bring equality to Georgia. The
Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) created by Martin
Luther King, Jr. was one group. Another was the Student Non-Violent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
![Page 23: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A national organization formed in North Carolina, it worked with the SCLC and focused
on organizing peaceful non-violent protest.
Student Non-ViolentCoordinating Committee (SNCC)
The group, made up of high school and college-aged students, became known for sit-ins, freedom rides, and the “freedom
summer” in Mississippi.

The Albany Movement involved several civil rights organizations like the NAACP and SNCC.
Albany Movement
The groups used methods such as mass demonstrations, sit-ins, and boycotts.
Their goal was to end all types of segregation in the city of Albany, Ga. from buses and trains to libraries, hospitals, and juries.
![Page 26: What do each of these events have in common?. Desegregation of the University of Georgia SNCC Sibley Commission March on Washington Election of Maynard](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c8b5503460f94945293/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
By late 1961, more than 500 protestors had been arrested. Albany’s police chief was careful to keep the peace and avoid negative publicity.
Albany Movement
Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Albany to lend his support and bring national attention
to the cause. He was jailed along with the protestors. Even with his influence,
desegregation efforts failed in Albany.

In 1963, over 250,000 civil rights activists gathered in Washington, D.C. to promote their
cause and push for civil rights legislation.
The March on Washington
During the march, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech.
The March on Washington led to the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and the
Voting Rights Act of 1965.

promoting, and firing.
