INDIAN CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

BASIC STRUGGLES OF NATIVE AMERICANS
•
Native Americans have been struggling with American influence for over 200 years
•
They were kicked off their land and forced to live on reservations
•
An example is the Indian Removal Act of 1838, also known as the Trail of Tears
•
Reservations have no running water, inadequate sanitation facilities, no industry, no
health care facilities, the unemployment was high, and the land was rocky and
unproductive (can’t farm)
•
In 1970, Indian unemployment rate was 10x the National average
•
40% of Native Americans population lived below the poverty line
•
Life expectancy was 44 in 1970, which is a third less than of the average American
•
In one Apache town of 2,500 on the San Carlos reservation, they only had about 25
telephones, most homes had outdoor toilets and relied on wood burning for heat
ORGANIZATIONS OF THE MOVEMENT
•
An organization was started in 1968 which began the Native American civil rights
movement, called the Native American civil rights activist organization (AIM)
•
Main objectives are the sovereignty of the Native American land, people, preservation of
culture, and enforcement of the treaties agreed upon by the United States
•
Movement is built around the philosophy of self-determination
•
The tribes were trying to prevent the spread of racism and increase the employment rate
of Native Americans
•
Indians of All Tribes was a famous group of protestors
•

OCCUPATION OF ALCATRAZ
•
November, 1969, 78 Native Americans known as, “Indians of all Tribes” took over
abandoned Alcatraz Island and held it for 19 months
•
Thought it was symbolic to their life at their reservations (see back to previous slide)
•
Tried to buy it off the government, but were denied the offer
•
Before leaving, Native Americans burned down some of the buildings on the island
•
When some refused to leave, a large force of law enforcement officers raided the island
and removed them
•
Although controversial, the occupation is thought of as a success because of the
international attention gained
TRAIL OF BROKEN TREATIES
•
Native American activist movement know as the trail of broken treaties and took over the
Bureau of Indian affairs to protest the U.S. governments failure to the past treaty
responsibilities.
•
The AIM movement also led to the walk on Washington D.C know as the spiritual walk.
This took place because the tribes wanted to draw attention to the anti Indian legislations.
•
This paid off because it caused Congress to pass the Indian Religious Freedom Act and
eventually to the Indians Civil Rights Act of 1968. This guarantee Native American there
civil rights and equal protection.
RELATIVE TO AMERICAN SOCIETY
•
There still are Native American reservations today (about 325)
•
Comparable to the Third World as said by many researchers
•
Poverty on Native American reservations is below 28.2%
•
There are 90,000 homeless or under housed Indian families, and that 30% of Indian
housing is overcrowded (Consensus 2008)
•
500% are more likely to die from tuberculosis
•
177% more likely to die from diabetes
•
82% are more likely to die from suicide

THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT
By Ryan and Robby
PEACE MOVEMENT
-Opposition to the war on economic and moral grounds
-Attracted members from college campuses, middle class suburbs, labor unions, and government
institutions

YOUTH
●
The movement attracted many students from College Campuses
●
The average U.S soldier in Vietnam was only 19 years old which enrages the
younger generation who feared that they would be drafted into the military
●
Antiwar demonstrations on campuses started small but many included thousands
of participants
●
Students observed that young Americans were legally old enough to fight and die,
but were not permitted to vote or drink alcohol.
●
Social protest provided young people with a voice they didn’t always have.
Popular music, already a vital part of youth culture by the mid-1960s, became a
method through which they could hear their views put to music. The music helped
to build the antiwar community
●
On College Campuses, schools were forced to cancel classes, roads were shut
down, and ROTC buildings were burned during the protests.
KEY PEOPLE
Lyndon B. Johnson - 36th U.S. president; used the FBI to track and detain anti war protesters
Richard M. Nixon - 37th U.S. president; claimed existence of “silent majority” of Americans who supported the war
J. William Fulbright - Arkansas senator who criticized Johnson and U.S. war strategy in Senate hearings in 1966
Robert McNamara - McNamara initially advocated increasing U.S. involvement in Vietnam but started to question U.S. policy by 1966. After
growing disillusioned with the direction of the war, McNamara resigned his position following the Tet Offensive in early 1968.
Martin Luther King Jr: Asserted that the war was draining funds
domestic programs. Connected the civil rights
movement.

History: Mr. Webb
May 22, 2015
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
1954-1968
The civil rights movement was a mass popular movement to secure equal access to and
opportunities for the basic privileges and rights of U.S. Citizenship for all African Americans.
The roots of the movement date back to the 19th century, but it peaked in the 1950s and 1960s.
CORE: CONGRESS OF RACIAL EQUALITY
●
Founded in 1942 at the University of Chicago: launched a series of
initiatives over the next decades
–
●
●
●
The Freedom Rides, aimed at desegregation of public facilities,
Freedom Summer voter registration project in Mississippi (1964),
and participation and organization of the March on Washington
June 1964: 3 civil right activists of CORE were killed by KKK during
Freedom Summer project
Gained national attention when they organized the first Freedom Ride to
desegregate interstate transportation facilities
Pressed political and economic justice for African Americans
SCLC: SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP
CONFERENCE
●
●
Formed in 1957 after the Montgomery Bus Boycott with Martin Luther King,
Jr. as its leader
Wanted white Americans to stop watching the humiliation of the African
American community, and stop participating in these activities
●
African Americans were encouraged to “seek justice and reject all injustice”
●
Anyone associated with SCLC had to accept the philosophy of non -violence
●
SCLC was thrust into the limelight after Birmingham
●
They were involved in organizing the March on Washington
●
They launched a campaign to register black voters
●
They organized a 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama
●
There were some concerns about the inner city violence and poverty
●
Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated during the March
●
Ralph Abernathy succeeded him
SNCC: STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING
COMMITTEE
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
The SNCC was founded in 1960 by young people who had emerged as
leaders in the civil rights protest movement in North Carolina
The students were independent of Martin Luther King's SCLC, but they
worked side-by-side in the early years of the civil rights movement
MLK told the students to form a continuing organization, and remain non violent
After the Selma to Montgomery March, the leader, Stokely Carmichael and
other organizers helped black residents in rural Alabama launch the all -black
Lowndes County Freedom Organization, later known as the Black Panther
Party
The Black Panthers, and Stokely Carmichael became known for their ideas
on “Black Power”
The Black Panthers encouraged militancy through the SNCC among urban
blacks, and the SNCC became the subject of an FBI investigation
By 1970, the organization had basically disappeared due to activity
NAACP: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Mission: to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality
of rights of all persons, and to eliminate race-based discrimination
Nation's largest, oldest, and most widely-recognized grassroots-based civil
rights organization, with more than 500,000 members and supporters
Vision: to secure the rights guaranteed in the 13 th, 14th, and 15th
Amendments to the US Constitution, which promised an end to slavery, the
equal protection of the law, and universal adult male suffrage
The NAACP helped advance integration of the armed forces in 1948, the
passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964, and 1968, and well as the
Voting Rights Act of 1965
NAACP co-organized the March on Washington in 1963
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s echoed the NAACP's
goals, but leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. felt that direct action was
needed to obtain them
1970s: NAACP broadened its scope by committing itself to the struggle for
equal rights around the world
BLACK POWER MOVEMENT
●
●
●
●
●
●
Although not a formal movement, the Black Power movement marked a turning point
in black-white relations in the United States and also in how blacks saw themselves.
The movement was hailed by some as a positive and proactive force aimed at helping
blacks achieve full equality with whites, but it was reviled by others as a militant,
sometimes violent and whose primary goal was to drive a wedge between whites and
blacks
Civil Rights legislation was an earnest and effective step toward eliminating inequality
between blacks and whites. Even with the obvious progress, however, the reality was
that prejudice could not be legislated away
By the mid-1960s, dissatisfaction with the pace of change was growing among blacks.
The term "black power" had been around since the 1950s, but it was Stokely
Carmichael, head of the student nonviolent coordinating committee (SNCC), who
popularized the term in 1966
The Black Power movement instilled a sense of racial pride and self-esteem in blacks.
Blacks were told that it was up to them to improve their lives.
For years, the movement's leaders said, blacks had been trying to aspire to white
ideals of what they should be. Now it was time for blacks to set their own agenda,
putting their needs and aspirations first.

•
During the 1960’s, the 38% of American women that worked were limited to
jobs as nurses, teachers, or secretaries. As a result, women accounted for 6%
of American doctors, 3% of lawyers, and less than 1% of engineers. Working
women were usually paid lower salaries than men and denied opportunities to
mobility within the work place.
•
Glass ceiling: women were not able to move further up in work areas, and
women can see their full potential yet are denied the access to advance
http://womenshistory.about.com/od/feminism-second-wave/
GOALS
•
End discrimination in work places, have working men and
working women with equal pay

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/07/living/sixties-women-5-things/
TITLE IX: THE EDUCATION AMENDMENTS OF 1972
•
On the 23rd of June in 1972 president Nixon signed the title IX of
the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX was a very
comprehensive federal law that prohibited discrimination on the
basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.
Title IX objective was to avoid the use of federal money to support
sex discrimination in education programs and also provide individual
citizens effective protection against those practices.
•
Title IX would apply with some specific expectations to all aspects
of federally funded education programs or activities. In addition to
traditional educational institutions such as colleges, universities,
and elementary and secondary schools, Title IX also applies to any
education or training program operated by a recipient of federal
financial assistance. The Department of Education has issued
regulations on the requirements of Title IX, 34 C.F.R. § 106.1et seq.
The Title IX common rule published on August 30, 2000 covers
education program providers/recipients that are funded by other
federal agencies.

EVENTS
•
On September 7, 1968 hundreds of feminist
activists showed up on the Atlantic City
Boardwalk to indorse in their “Miss America
Protest” and they gave out signs that said
“No More Miss America” and things along
those lines. They believed that the pageant
set up impossible standards for girls to aim
for and they also believed that it was racist,
for never having an African American Miss
America. It was also believed to be blatantly
unequal in encouraging girls to be like Miss
American, which is nearly impossible, but
boys were encouraged to be more like the
president, which was a more likely.
