[Audio] My research was based on the time periods lasting from the end of the Civil War until the ending of the Civil Rights Movement.. 

Scene 1

[Audio] Immediately following the Civil War was the Reconstruction Period in the US. The events following that time-period led to the Civil Rights Movement and resulted in the laws that we have today regarding Civil Rights.. 

Scene 2

My Topic
Reconstruction
The Beginning of Jim Crow

Making Connections

[Audio] The Jim Crow Era was considered to be a way of life, and stemmed from the racism that followed the enslavement of African Americans. In order to justify the mistreatment of African Americans, the Jim Crow Laws were put in to place.. 

Scene 3

Research question:
What lessons from African Americans’ struggles for equality in the past can help inform current and future civil rights issues?
Thesis statement:
The introduction of Jim Crow Laws in America gave way to oppression against African American citizens. There are documented and researched accounts of lynching going on in various counties in the southern portion of the United States.

[Audio] There were prison mines purchased by U.S. Steel in 1907. There are burial grounds estimated to be 5 miles from Birmingham, that inhabit inmates from a prison camp that participated in the reconstruction period..

[Audio] In 1832, there was a routine performed by Thomas D. Rice in blackface named "Jump Jim Crow", which is what inspired the naming of Jim Crow Laws. The Jim Crow Era lasted from the Reconstruction period until the Civil Rights period..

[Audio] Following World War 2, the Jim Crow Era started to crumble. Using the African American Press, the media spread the horrors of the Jim Crow Laws, African Americans started to leave the southern portion of the US in droves in order to escape the effects of the Jim Crow Era, known as the Great Migration. In 1905, W.E.B Dubois started the Niagara Movement to organize a resistance against inequality. The Niagara Movement morphed into what we know today as the NAACP..

[Audio] There were multiple victories that all contributed to the ending of the Civil Rights Movement such as, the 1954 decision of Brown v. Board of Education, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and the infamous "I Have a Dream" speech by Dr Martin Luther King. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 brought an end to the Jim Crow Era for good..

[Audio] Immediately following the Civil War, during the period immediately following the civil war there were prison mines purchased by U.S. Steel in 1907. There are burial grounds estimated to be 5 miles from Birmingham, that inhabit inmates from a prison camp that participated in the reconstruction period. That was the beginning of mass incarceration that is going on today. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 still has relevance today in various Police brutality cases. The Great Migration shows in places such as Los Angeles, where multitudes of families have roots to the southern states. The NAACP steps in whenever a situation of racial inequality comes up in todays' times..
