 * ~ Primary Source ||~ Analysis ||~ Description/Context ||~ Role in Civil Rights Movement ||
 * "On the Verge of a Dangerous Racial Conflagration" || Alyssa F. || This document was about the Secretary of the NAACP documenting his thoughts on the case of Emmet Till. A major thought is how he believed that an act of violence like that could destroy the whole country. He documented how so many people were so furious about what had happened, and how normally just the fact that officials paid attention to it would be enough. But this time just a young man's life was taken, so it would never be enough until justice was served. || This event played a huge part in the Civil Rights Movement. Some people even say that it was this event that started the Civil Rights movement all together. If it wasn't for the Emmett Till case, and the unfairness of the trial making people realize this wasn't right, then who knows what could be different now. ||
 * "Rules for Riding Desegregated Buses" || Alyssa F. || This document was about Negros boycotting the city buses in Montgomery. The boycott was caused by two Negros getting arrested for breaking segregation laws. After the 2nd, Rosa Parks, they decided they wouldn't put up with it anymore. Instead, they were to meet at the Baptist Church on the Monday of the Rosa Parks case. Whites were very shocked at the discovery of this "top secret" meeting. When they went to the priest of the Baptist church, he refused to give out any names of the people that wanted to use the facilities of the Church while the meeting took place. Rather than giving them the information they needed he told them when the meeting was and that doors would be open to anyone black or white. || This event showed that Blacks weren't going to just sit back and follow the unfair segregation laws. They decided to fight back in honor of Rosa Parks and anyone else that stood before whites and refused to follow their unjust laws. ||
 * "No school in our state will be integrated" || Kimberli ||  ||   ||
 * "Non-violence and Racial Justice 1957" || Justin W || This document was about Dr. Martin Luther King making a successful bus boycott for blacks and making it for whites to get the seats that they wanted to have. This cam about by to black people getting arrested for not giving up their seat to a white man who was looking to sit there. This was the start of the boycott for buses. Other boycotts soon followed the movement and make changes into the system of how things were done according to blacks and whites and how they were currently treated. For people this was what some called a turning point in history because they wanted to make things right and equal for others in America. || This document made a big impact on the Civil Rights Movement because he made a speech on how African Americans should be free and have equal rights. He also made sure that Americans were following the rules and treating them like they want to be treated. ||
 * "Letter from a Freedom Fighter's Father 1961" page 1, page 2, text only || nathan || the document was about the freedom fighters and how they fought for freedom ||  ||
 * "A Volatile Time, 1962" || Justin W || The article was about how the Civil Rights Movement was being formed and things that were going to be put into action. For this being the start of the Civil Rights movement it was also the start of a new revolution for Americans. As the formation began thousands of Americans and African Americans were not very happy with what was happening to their nation and what was it going to be like during and after the Civil Rights Movement was over. ||  ||
 * "An Ugly Situation in Birmingham, 1963" || Justin W || This article was about the president talking about what the situation in Brimingham would be like if people and the mayor did not take action to stop all of the violence in Brimingham ,Alabama. For these people they would not be very happy if nothing was done about the situation and things changed for the better. || President John F. Kennedy made an announcement for people in Brimingham, Alabama in 1963 on the fighting. He made a deal that things will be done to stop all the corruption and restore order in the county. This for blacks was a small step to earning their freedom. ||
 * "Patience is a Dirty and Nasty Word" || Kimberli ||  ||   ||
 * "One Volunteer's Freedom Summer, 1964" || Kimberli ||  ||   ||
 * "Alabama Voter Registration Form, c.1964-65" || nathan || it had a lot of questions like what is your birth date and other stuff ||  ||
 * "What does Mississippi Have to Do With Harlem? (1964)" audio || Alyssa F. || This document was about a man named Malcom X giving a speech to the Freedom Democratic Party. He talked about how white people in both the South and North were against blacks gaining any source of power. He told them that any white person in power could've gotten them in, but they didn't want to. He frequently referred to whites as "crakers" in the sense that he was very angry with whites and felt he had the right to call them that if whites called blacks "negros." A topic he dwelled on a lot was how in the South, blacks couldn't vote. He said that if they could then rasist whites wouldn't be in power, instead there would be blacks, yellows, and reds. || This event played a fairly big part in the Civil Rights Movement. Because of this speech it made blacks see that they couldn't sit around and wait for freedom, instead, they had to take action and do something to earn their freedom. ||
 * "Creating an Open and Just City, 1966" || nathan || it was about rasisim and how there was no lunching in northern citys ||  ||

 * "The Goals of the Poor People's Campaign, 1968" || Alyssa F. ||  ||   ||
 * "Where is the Draft for the Freedom Fight?" || Justin W || The following article is about being drafted to serve in the Vietnam war. People are wondering when/if a draft will occur to draft soldiers into battle and serve their country. Some people say that one will not occur but others are skeptic on when it will happen and if it will occur in time for the invasion. || This had a role in the Civil Rights movement because African Americans were going to be fighting in the Vietnam war and whites would have to learn how to get along with them because they had to work as a team if they wanted to win the war. For many African Americans this was the opportunity to make a difference. ||
