Freedom Riders
This 4:45 clip covers CORE's Freedom Rides in the South (and all of violence that went along with them) that ended up desegregating interstate travel facilities (with the assistance of the media and eventually U.S. Marshalls).
Civil Rights March on Washington D.C.
This 4:30 clip discusses how the origin of the Civil Rights March on Washington D.C. (A. Phillip Randolph's threat to do it during WWII), it finally becoming a reality 20 years later, a small portion of MLK JR's "I Have a Dream" Speech, and its impact on the nation as a whole.
The Entire "I Have A Dream" Speech
For anyone interested in hearing the entire 11 minute speech, I have added it above. We will hear excerpts from it in other clips during class, so we probably not view the entire speech.
Civil Rights Act of 1964
This 3:10 clip covers LBJ's persistence in getting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, the language of the Act, and obstacles (especially with respect to voting) that still faced African-Americans after it became law.
Freedom Summer
This 3:20 clip focuses on the disappearance of 3 young people and what eventually happened to them when they went to try to register people to vote. Starting at 2:30, the clip explains how some voters in Mississippi ended up getting registered to vote, the hostility that occurred to those attempting to register people, and the division within the Democratic Party in Mississippi.
Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama
This 3:30 clip discusses how hardly any African-Americans in Selma were registered to vote because of violence or threats, the demonstrations that gained a lot of media attention, and the failure of the 1st Voting Rights March when the Alabama State Police forcefully stopped it.
The 2nd Selma March and LBJ discussing the Voting Rights Act of 1965
This 2:50 clip discusses the 2nd Voting Rights March in Selma, LBJ's address to Congress about getting the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed, and how the march grew in size (with the entire country watching due to media coverage) from 3,000 - 25,000 people.
