The Civil Rights Era EOTO

The Civil Rights Era has been one of the most pivotal eras in the United States. The era lasted from the early 1950s and lasted throughout the late 1960s. The main goals of this era were to end racial segregation, fight for actual equal rights for all across the board, and just simply mistreatment towards African Americans. Throughout this era, many notable events set the foundation for future conversations and movements that soon came after. Some of these events include:

The Montgomery Bus Boycott 

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was started after Rosa Parks's arrest. She was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger. Although Mrs.Parks was not the first person to refuse to give up her seat, she was the most respected because she was an older woman. 

Her arrest fueled the drive for MLK Jr. and other local Civil Rights leaders. They organized carpools and pick-up locations for African Americans throughout the city of Montgomery, Alabama. This boycott lasted 381 days. For these 381 days, African Americans walked, carpooled, or used any other means of transportation other than buses. Over that period of time, the company's annual revenue dropped 69%. 

Freedom Rides

The Freedom Rides were a group of 13 activists from Washington D.C., a mixture of whites and blacks who deliberately violated Jim Crow Laws. They traveled through numerous southern states and did not abide by the segregation rules set into place by the states. The whites and blacks all sat mixed up wherever they wanted to sit on the bus. They were attacked by mobs, threatened by angry white people, beaten, and the bus was even firebombed in Alabama. These original 13 young adults were just the beginning of these rides, there were over 60 rides that took place and over 400 participants. In the end, mandated desegregation was the result of their hard work and weeks in jail. 

Voting Rights Act of 1965

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed discriminatory voting practices that were set into place. In areas where there was a strong history of discriminatory practices, federal oversight was placed in the area to oversee the voting registering process. Their presence was also used to protect voters from harassment and intimidation. This event was the Catalyst for the broader Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. 

In conclusion, there were so many events during the civil rights movement that played a large part in the movement being one of the most transformational eras in history. The legacy of the Civil Rights Movement and the main faces behind the movement still live on to this day and continue to inspire many young activists.

Brown v Board React Post:

 

Today, we got to sit in on a Mock Trial of Brown v Board. This historical court case was a landmark case of the Supreme Court that declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.  When a young black girl was denied entry to an all-white public school near her home in Topeka, Kansas, because it was not her “segregated school,” her parents, along with a few other parents, took matters into their own hands and sued the local school district. 

The Plessy v Ferguson “separate but equal” doctrine was overruled by this case because it was determined that the white and black separate facilities were, in fact, not equal. After this, the Supreme Court declared that schools across the United States had to be desegregated. 

Today in the courtroom, we heard arguments from both Brown and the Board, and there were many valid points made by both parties. 

One impactful point that came from Brown’s party was made by Alsyon. She, along with her other teammates, made a great argument, but something that stood out the most was her part of the speech where she mentioned the fact that there were many other cases in the past before this case that argued for similar and the exact things that this case argued. She highlighted the fact that the argument for equal opportunities and true equality for African Americans has been argued for so long and that this one case was not a random case that came out of the blue.

During this period, before and after, African Americans faced many hardships, and many of those stemmed from systematic racism and inequality that needed to be addressed. Not only was it a continuing factor in educational facilities for African Americans, but it was also a continuing factor in everyday life for African Americans, and ruling in favor of Brown could become a start to something more positive. Arguing with each school and individual school board for an equal education for all should not have been a large problem at that time. 

But when it came to the board, many arguments were worded so well that you could change your mind about anything you first believed when you stepped into the courtroom that day.

The team that had to argue for the board made an immense amount of points that Brown had not taken into account when they made their decisions. 

While each person had great arguments, Cam's argument stood out the most to me because he brought up the mental well-being of the little black children who would have to face the white supremacists and racists during desegregation. Adults and teenagers can handle racism and the potential of physical endangerment much more and much more easily than a young child could. 

Integrating a school could take a major toll on the mental and physical health of the children, that is a major argument as to why it may be better off if the students went to their own segregated schools. Another major point he brought up was the fact that African American students and White students were on different levels education-wise, and it would not be beneficial to place them in the same classroom if half of the class was more advanced than the other. 

Although I did not agree with every point that was made by each person, there were still a lot of points that were made that made me think and helped me learn more about the period that I had not known before. This may have been my favorite mock trial to date!

University of California V Bakke Legal Argument

The case of the University of California vs. Bakke was more than an I did not get in, so I am upset with the school argument. This is a case of the law, treatment, Fourteenth Amen to be exact. 

The Fourteenth Amendment extended the rights and liberties of the Bill of Rights to formerly enslaved people. But when we add affirmative action to the mix, the lines of fairness blur. 

Bakke is trying to say that we - California - are violating the equal protection clause of the amendment by discriminating against him as a white man and not granting him a spot in our class. 

However, the clause is not just about treating everyone the same but also about creating fairness for all. Affirmative action is set in place to help historically underrepresented groups gain an increased number of equal opportunities. 

Therefore, this is not the same as the unfair discrimination against white people that Bakke is insisting that we have shown. We also did not break the equal protection clause because we were not discriminating against white people, we, as an institution, were trying to balance fairness and create a diverse future for America starting here at our institution. 

Then, the argument trickles down to “Narrow Tailoring.” The law states that any policy that uses race has to pass a legal test called strict scrutiny. Meaning that the policy has to serve a compelling interest, and in our case, this interest is race. 

Our main goal is to increase and encourage diversity in educational spaces. 

The next requirement is that the policy has to be narrowly tailored, meaning that it cannot be too broad or go further than necessary to reach the goal. 

In our defense, we meet these requirements because we only reserved a number of spots for minorities - but we did not exclude white applicants, nor did we discriminate against them. It is not our goal to harm anyone or wrongfully reject anyone from our school- we simply want to promote diversity and lessen systematic racism as well as systematic discrimination.

EOTO: Sundown Towns

Sundown towns in the United States excluded non-white people- almost always African Americans- from remaining in the town after sunset. These towns coexisted with the short period during the 1860s when African Americans had lost the rights that they had gained after the Civil War, but even more of these towns arose after the reconstruction era ended in 1890 to about 1968 when the Fair Housing Act was presented. 

The term “sundown town” stems from the various signs posted at city limits, most signages said something similar to “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on You in ___.” These phrases made it very clear that African Americans were not welcome, and if they went against the warnings on the signs, they were risking their lives and faced the high possibility of death. What was once a simple way to tell African Americans to stay out of the city after dark became a way to describe cities and even states during the 1960s? In her memoir about the challenges of racism and the trauma she held, the late poet Maya Angelou described Mississippi by saying, “Don’t Let the Sun Set on You Here, Nigger, Mississippi”  In her memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. 

Around 1890, many towns and communities that had a population with a mixture of African Americans and White Americans, white people found ways to get rid of their black population. For example, when an African American was accused of doing a crime, they used that as an excuse to blame the whole black community for that individual's wrongdoings and then forced them out with violence and often went as far as committing arson. Other communities and towns simply became sundown towns through social and economic oppression. They often made it impossible for colored individuals to buy homes and land and made it relatively difficult for them to get the services needed from the city. Some sundown towns even went as far as signaling their status as a sundown town by sounding a loud siren at sunset. Most of the time, sundown policies were unwritten and unspoken, but nonetheless, they were understood, and the threat of violence was always present. 

There are many misconceptions about sundown towns, one misconception being that a sundown town is a place that had a racial incident happen, and that is how they gained the title. That is a false narrative, these towns are entire communities that purposely made sure they were “all white” for decades. I say “all white” with quotes because some towns allowed one black family to remain while they drove out the rest. But, they weren't just normal black families, these families tended to be servants, prisoners, or even interracial children that remained IN a white household and not on their own unless they were in jails, hospitals, or in colleges. Not only did these communities keep African Americans out, but they also kept out Chinese Americans, Jews, Mexican Americans, Mormons, and even Native Americans.

Another major misconception is the belief that sundown towns only existed in southern states. That is not true because Sundown Towns existed all over the United States, and there were once over 2,400 sundown towns in the United States, and at least 644 of them were located in the midwest. 

A city I would like to use as my example is Edmond, Oklahoma. Edmond is about 22 minutes outside of Oklahoma City. This Sundown Town was described as a 100% white town in the 1920s. 

As we can see in this photo, many businesses in town used this message in their advertisement. One company, Royce Cafe, was one of the most popular restaurants in Edmond from the 1930s up until 1970. In the postcard that they used to promote their business, they also promoted Edmond as the ideal place to live. If you can’t see, the postcard brags that the town has 6,000 citizens and none of which are negros. This postcard has been circulated for decades and is visual proof that Edmond was a sundown town, and many other cities used tactics such as this to boast the fact that they are proud sundown towns. 

In this next photo, we can see what is referred to as a “newcomer’s guide,” which was given to new residents when they moved to the town. Just like the postcard, the statistics side of this article highlights the fact that there is an estimation of 7,500 residents, 100% white, and absolutely no negros. 

The last image we have is a letter that came from the Edmond Chamber of Commerce. On their letterhead, they advertise Edmond as “A Good Place to Live” and is located “In the Center of the White Spot of the Universe,” once again highlighting the fact that the town had no negros. 

This is just one of the many towns that were loud and proud racist.​​ To this day, we still have sundown towns in the US. But, keep in mind there are no sundown towns in the sense of LEGALLY or publicly excluding any residents who are not white.

The film powerfully shows how the town's white establishment made sure African Americans understood their place in this so-called "separate but equal" society - disrespected, demeaned, and unequal. 

When the main character, Virgil Tibbs, a black detective from Philadelphia, comes into town, where racism runs deep, he quickly sees that the so-called "separate but equal" plan is nothing more than a facade. Instead of finding a place where he can fit in and do his job as an African American Male, he faces a system that is set against him. The local executives, especially Chief Gillespie, perfectly represent the ingrained prejudice of the town. Through Tibbs' point of view, it is clear how the town treats its black citizens- disrespect and degradation that completely undermines the true essence of equality.

Although Virgil and the Chief have a rough start, their relationship starts to transition throughout the film. At first, Gillespie perfectly represents and embodies the deep-rooted racism of the South, by viewing Virgil with suspicion and not holding him to the level of respect that he deserved. But while Gillespie has a negative attitude, Virgil does not, he shows him respect and remains professional. As they continue to work together on the case, Gillespie slowly begins to see Virgil as the skilled detective he is and does not just recognize Virgil's detective skills but also his humanity, regardless of his race.

The shift in their relationship mirrors the changes happening in society, showing that even in a divided society, people can learn to see past their prejudiced mindsets and recognize the humanity of others, 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚠ing 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚝𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚌𝚒𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕 𝚗𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊 𝚍𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚌𝚒𝚎𝚝𝚢 𝚠𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚜' 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚐𝚐𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚠𝚎 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚜 𝚠𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝚊𝚜 𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚍𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚝. 

However, the film shows their relationship moving fast-paced, and transforming in the course of a few days, the reality in the Jim Crow South was much longer and violent. It was not until years later that white individuals started to accept that African Americans deserved equal opportunities and respect- and that they were just as capable as they were. And even today, some individuals still struggle to understand the fact that we share a common humanity regardless of race.

The Heat of the Night is more than just a film, it is a powerful masterpiece that mentions the themes of race, justice, and humanity.

As we reflect on this movie, it is clear that the fight for justice and women's reproductive rights has not ended and is more urgent than ever now. It is on us to educate ourselves and others about these issues and spread awareness to ensure that history does not repeat itself.

Reconstruction Era EOTO

The topic of today's each-teach-one presentation was the reconstruction era. We learned about the bad, the good, and the in-between. 

The reconstruction era was the period after the American Civil War. This period was aimed at reorganizing the southern states after the Civil War. Just like every era in the USA, it had positives and negatives.

To start with the good things this era had to offer we discussed “Forty Acres and a Mule.”

This was a promise made by General Sherman for land distribution. They stated that 400,000 acres would be given to African American families. The plan was to take the land away from wealthy confederates to financially harm them.

Black leaders in Georgia felt that this would give freed families a place to escape discrimination and help them establish economic independence. 

Although this plan was on the right track it became a promise that was not kept. After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, President Andrew Johnson rescinded the agreement and returned the 400,000 acres of land to the Confederate owners. 

Next, we discussed the amendments that were brought upon during the reconstruction era.

The first amendment was the thirteenth amendment, this amendment was set in place to abolish slavery because, at the end of the Civil War, it was still allowed. 

The next amendment was the Fourteenth Amendment, this amendment was set in place and granted legal citizenship and equal and civil rights to anyone who is born in the United States or has become a Citizen of the United States. 

The last amendment was the Fifteenth Amendment, this amendment was set in place to grant African American men the right to vote. 

The last “positive” thing we discussed was the Civil Rights Act of 1875. This act was set in place to guarantee all citizens, regardless of their skin color, access to public accommodations and the right to be included in jury duty. This law made history as the first accommodation law passed in the United States. 

Moving on to the negatives we first discussed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. 

The death of Lincoln caused national grief and ended the possibility of peace, disarrayed the government, and even began a manhunt for his assassin, and his death even erased the progress of reconstruction like the 40 acres and a mule for example. 

Next, we discussed black codes. Black codes varied from state to state and they placed restrictions on Black Labor, Property, and Suffrage. 

These codes granted some civil rights such as the ability to marry and make contracts, yet they were denied the right to vote, serve on juries, and testify against white people.  

Then there were labor contracts, these contracts were required to be signed by African Americans, and they could be arrested, fined, or forced into unpaid labor if they refused to sign it. This also led to vagrancy laws, which meant black people could be arrested for being unemployed. And then many misdemeanors were treated as felonies, with harsh sentences and fines. 

We also discussed the Ku Klux Klan, or the KKK for short. They are a white supremacist hate group that is still around to this day. The organization was founded immediately after the Civil War.

The Klan wanted to overthrow the republican government and they chose the tactic of intimidating voters and especially targeted violence towards African Americans. 

The members of the Klansmen were individuals who hid in plain sight. And even adopted the name of the “Invisible Empire of The South.”

All in all the eoto was very informative and I learned new things as well as learning more information about the topics that we breezed over in school.
