BLACK OR WHITE

(1) A period of unprecedented fighting spirit against ‘the second-class people’ such as African Americans was observed in many parts of the nation after World War II. Resistance to racial discrimination with strategies like those described above - civil disobedience, nonviolent resistance, marches, protests, boycotts, “freedom rides,” and rallies - received national attention as newspaper, radio, and television reporters and cameramen documented the struggle to determine racial inequality. When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white person in Montgomery, Alabama, and was arrested in December 1955, she gave rise to a chain of events that generated an impulse the civil rights movement had never before experienced. Local civil rights leaders were hoping for such an opportunity to test the city’s segregation laws. Deciding to boycott the buses, the African-American community soon formed a new organization to supervise the boycott, the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA). The young pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., was chosen as the first MIA leader. The boycott, more successful than anyone hoped, led to a 1956 Supreme Court decision that forbade segregated buses.

(2) In 1960, four black freshmen from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College in Greensboro went into the F.W. Woolworth store and quietly sat down at the lunch counter. They were not served, but they stayed until closing time. The next morning they came with twenty-five more students. Two weeks later similar demonstrations had spread to several cities, within a year similar peaceful demonstrations took place in more than a hundred cities North and South. At Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, the students formed their own organization, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced “Snick”). The students’ bravery in the face of verbal and physical abuse led to integration in many stores even before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

(3) The August 28, 1963, March on Washington engrossed the nation’s attention. Rather than the anticipated hundred thousand marchers, more than twice that number appeared, amazing even its organizers. Blacks and whites, side by side, called on President John F. Kennedy and the Congress to provide equal access to public facilities, quality education, adequate employment, and decent housing for African Americans. During the assembly at the Lincoln Memorial, the young preacher who had led the successful Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered an exciting message with the refrain, “I Have a Dream.”

(4) Besides, there were continuing efforts to legally challenge segregation through the courts. Success crowned these efforts: the Brown decision in 1954, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act in 1965 helped bring about the demise of the entangling web of legislation that bound blacks to second class citizenship. One hundred years after the Civil War, blacks and their white allies still pursued the battle for equal rights in every area of American life. While there is more to achieve in ending discrimination, major milestones in civil rights laws are on the books for the purpose of regulating equal access to public accommodations, equal justice before the law, and equal employment, education, and housing opportunities. African Americans have had unprecedented openings in many fields of learning and in the arts. The black struggle for civil rights also inspired other liberation and rights movements, including those of Native Americans, Latinos, and women, and African Americans have lent their support to liberation struggles in Africa.
