Jim Crow: The Civil Rights Act Of 1875

"Some of them sometimes came to class without breakfast". The biggest issue of the 1960 's was the right to vote. They had the right to vote all non-white people did but couldn’t because the system was corrupt and rigged to questions that not anyone could have answered. This bill most likely wouldn’t have passed without the help of the issues the little small town in Georgia had faced in Selma. LBJ truly was for equality he wanted all people to have rights.

Second, both Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass gained freedom. Booker gained his freedom when he was only 8 years old, because he was born in 1858, or 1859. As one might imagine, he was freed when Abraham Lincoln made the emancipation proclamation. Once he was freed, he settled into a town with his family and started working in the salt business, packing salt in barrels. Frederick Douglass, however, gained freedom when he was quite older; when he was 20 years old.

Brief Summary: In 1977, Coors Banquet beer was made all natural. Without additives and preservatives, given to a very short life span of one week! A time limit of 28 hours was given to transport (bootleg) 400 cases of it from Texarkana, Texas to Atlanta, Ga. If anything went wrong, there would be no money, 400 cases of spoiled beer and a lot of wasted time.

Civil Rights Movement Many people take for granted not having to sit in different sides of the bus or being able to eat in the same restaurant and even walking on the sidewalk. African Americans before the Civil Rights movement were harassed or treated very disrespectfully by whites. Many Supreme Court cases concerning slavery or separation between blacks and whites helped America get closer and closer to were whites were able to understand that there not much different than blacks: (Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board). Dred Scott was a African American that lived in the Illinois.

After the WW2 this became the way to escape the large poverty population in Puerto Rico.  Puerto Ricans with residency in Puerto Rico cann’t vote in the US Primary elections or for congress only the nominate vote. Only Puerto Ricans with Residency in the 50 states can vote. 1918-1999 Many Military bases have open and closed of which only 1 base remains, It is The Buchanan Army base in Guaynabo Transition 4: “Now that you have heard my speech, I want you to remember these important points.” 7.

Actually the commandment read: no animal shall drink alcohol to excess”. This is very similar to what Putin did because Napoleon decided he liked alcohol just like Putin wanted to stay president, so he added the words “to excess” like Vladimer added the word “consecutive” to the laws. Both of them show corruption by bending these rules because these little rules they bend causes greater corruption ,and before their people know it, they will realize that they live in a fraudulent place lead by mercenary leaders. But, because these changes happen one at a time, they seem so insignificant, but slowly they pile up and by the time anyone realizes what is really happening it will be far too late. People's tendency to blindly follow rules makes injustice within the country very

Once the bus boycott ended, the government officially changed the laws so that everyone, no matter the race, could ride all forms of transportation and sit anywhere they pleased. The new law also stated that African Americans were now permitted to drive buses because it was unconstitutional to prohibit them from working (January 32). Without King, today’s society wouldn’t be anywhere near as unsegregated as it is. King also had an enormous part in passing the Civil Rights Act. His magnificent speeches were given all over the world, allowing many to realize that discrimination by race was unacceptable proving that the laws needed to change.

In 1877 the Supreme Court ruled a case called Hall vs. DeCuir which states how blacks could not share common carries such as railroads or streetcars. The Louisiana Separate Car Act marked a remarkable impact for black or mixed-raced citizens in the states of Louisiana. As years went on laws came and gone, but over all blacks and white were finally as equal as white women and white men. The era of Reconstruction came to a close, the states in the South were free.

Why should it matter if whites, blacks, Mexicans, or any other “colored” people are in the same area or building at the same time? It shouldn 't matter, but in the beginning of the 1800 's in the Southern United States, there was not a worse law you could break as a white man. It was thought to be unclean and unlawful. Even the simplest things like eating in the same restaurant, using the same public bathroom, schools, even using the same hospitals was highly forbidden. Blacks were treated poorly, harassed, given a lot less opportunities than whites, and even assaulted.

Now, everyone is allowed to vote and many people still don’t. Back when there was no Voting Rights Act, so before 1965, white people were trying to stop blacks from voting, thinking that they were not smart enough, or too poor to vote. Now, seeing that only 59.7% of people vote, counting blacks, that shows that if black people still were not able to vote, that number would be even lower(4). In Turkey, 84% of people made it out of there house and to the voting polls. (4) In Belgium, 87% of people were able to get up and vote.(4)

George Washington’s presidency did couple key things. First, it established the unwritten rule that a President was only supposed to serve two terms in office. This unwritten rule was only ever broken by Franklin Roosevelt during WW II, and it later became an Amendment to the Constitution. Second, Washington talked at great length about isolationism in his farewell address, specifically citing that America should avoid foreign entanglements in Europe.

Abuse to the Constitution America was never really the land of liberty, the country were the color of your skin or the god you believe in made a difference to how you will be treated. In the 1920s all these rights were nowhere in sight, as for African Americans were still discriminated, immigrants were not trusted, and government officials decided what Americans would or wouldn 't drink. Although the roaring twenties, as they are reffered to, were mostly remembered to be filled with jazz, drinks, and flappers, the truth is another. Thousands of immigrants came to the United States after WWI due to the immense poverty and hoping for a brighter future.

Black Enterprise notes that Congress did fund another plan to give up to 62 percent of deposits back to bank members, but most people never saw any of that money. Even though the bank did not make it, its place in American history is important. On the 150th anniversary of the Freedman’ Savings and Trust Co., the Treasury Annex building in Washington, D.C., was renamed "The Freedman 's Bank Building". It 's fitting, since the annex sits on the very spot that the original bank once rested.

In 1890, the state of Louisiana passed a law (the Separate Car Act) that required separate accommodations for blacks and whites on railroads, including separate railway cars.[2] Concerned, a group of prominent black, creole, and white New Orleans residents formed the Comité des Citoyens (Committee of Citizens) dedicated to repeal the law or fight its effect.[3] They persuaded Homer Plessy, a man of mixed race, to participate in an orchestrated test case. Plessy was born a free man and was an "octoroon" (of seven-eighths European descent and one-eighth African descent). However, under Louisiana law, he was classified as black, and thus required to sit in the "colored" car.[4]

“What can more certainly arouse race hate, what more certainly create and perpetuate a feeling of distrust between these races, than state enactments which, in fact, proceed on the ground that colored citizens are so inferior and degraded that they cannot be allowed to sit in public coaches occupied by white citizens?”- John Marshall Harlan. On May 18, 1896, the Supreme court passed the separate but equal act on a vote of 7-1. This allowed separate facilities to be made for whites and blacks. This was the result of the Plessy vs Ferguson case, where a man was forced out of a whites-only car because he had African descent. The Supreme court couldn’t find any differences in the train cars, yet separate facilities for blacks had a decrease in quality.
