Violence on National Television
In the early months of 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. prepared protests and demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama. The local chief of police, Eugene Connor, told his men to shoot discharge water against the demonstrators and set free ferocious dogs on the resisters. However, a television network captured the string scenes on the demonstrations, several shots of them showing attacks and arrests of black children, and transmitted the images to shocked national viewers. As a result, many Northerners became attentive of the troubles of many African-Americans in the South.
Thus, as much as any sole event in the account of the modern civil rights movement, the brutality showed by the whites in Birmingham obliged the American citizens to consider grave federal act promoting or violating civil rights. Thus, in June 1963, after the governor of Alabama, George Wallace, prove of struggle to desegregation of the state university, President John F. Kennedy attend to a national television viewers to pass for a federal civil rights law, which would primarily forbid racial segregation in community accommodations.
Assassination of John F. Kennedy When President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, his civil rights bill appeared hindered on Capitol Hill. However, the successor of the good president, Lyndon Johnson of Texas, demonstrated to be masterful strategist and a bestowed champion of a strong and eloquent bill. In June 1968, he marked into a law, a list that not only included job unfairness title but also certified construction of a new organization, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (classical and positivist criminology).
Although, school segregation continued to be persistent until the early 1970s, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a milestone assessment by any standard, concluding segregation in a mass of public accommodations. Conclusions School desegregation, Freedom Riders and non violent protest were just a few of the civil rights battles. The movement inched along, one lunch counter at a time. One sports team at a time. One school, one store and one town were obtained because of the Civil Rights Movement.
Hundreds of thousands of people took part in the effort for freedom and equal rights for African-American. The civil rights movement helped African American move into positions of power. For example, in 1967, Thurgood Marshall became the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. Recently, African-Americans Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice have served as U. S. secretary on state. In 2008, Barack Obama was the first African-American elected as the president of the United States of America.
