Rosa Parks had a major impact on why people all of the sudden wanted to stick up for what they believed in. This document gave suggestions on how people should have acted when they got on the bus. People had to watch what they said since segregation ended. On the document it states, " If there is violence in word or deed it must not be our people who commit it." It really shows how racist people were back then. These rules really helped segregated people get through the "new life" on the bus. || Boycotting was a major role in the Civil Rights Movement. By boycotting, they eventually started to realize segregation isn't fair. People realized everybody is equal and it's not fair for people to have to give up their seat, or to sit in a certain spot on the bus. ||

 * "Creating an Open and Just City, 1966" || Travis || This document is about Martin Luther King trying to end racism in some places. They say that lynching and beatings are not racism but other aspects are. Blacks have to live in much worse conditions than whites do. These area’s for blacks are run down houses and towns. Things as big as houses and schools are segregated. Things like drinking fountains are segregated as well. The white’s parts usually being in better conditions. They were forced to live in poor conditions because of skin color. Just because of are skin color we get treated really good. || This was obviously a big part of the Civil rights movement. This is just everyday people standing up for what is right in a non-violent way. They tried to make things equal for blacks and whites, and eliminate segregation. The wanted to loose the signs that segregated people. Schools and houses were some of the biggest segregated things. Houses that were so run down that barley suitable for living were gave to the blacks. Schools would also segregate blacks and whites. They put all the blacks in one part and they had a horrible learning environment. ||

 * "People, Acting Together, Are Power, 1967" || Travis ||  ||   ||
 * "The Goals of the Poor People's Campaign, 1968" || Jordan || This document is about people trying to stop poverty. Poor people needed jobs in order to support their families. The purpose of this document was to set forth common goals of poor people to help them get jobs and be wealthier so they are able to support their families. In order to get out of poverty, there had to be goals set and also the upper class people had to understand the poor have families too and deserve to live a healthy life as well. By showing the upper class people that the poor people deserved to live a better life they agreed to make some changes. || The role in the Civil Rights Movement was the SCLC. The SCLC was trying to stop poverty. They wanted to make it clear that poor people are just as equal as wealthy people and they should get treated like it. The thought that people who lived in poverty should get payed just as much money as wealthy people to and nicer working conditions as well. ||
 * "Where is the Draft for the Freedom Fight?" ||  ||   ||   ||
 * "The Panthers' Ten-Point Platform" || Travis ||  ||   ||
 * "Attica Inmate Demands, 1971" || Jordan || In April 1972 the New York State Special Commission on Attica held hearings in the aftermath of the Attica Prison riot. Inmates demanded 15 rights they feel they should have. Herman Schwartz was a law professor who was admitted to the prisoner controlled area. He wanted to seek a peaceful solution to the standoff. One of the 15 demands from the inmates that I realized was, "We intensely demand that all communication will be conducted in our domain, guarantee safe transportation to and from..." This states that they wanted the freedom to talk to whoever they please. If it's other inmates or people from back home. I kind of agree with this demand because everybody should be treated equally but then again segregation was so bad back then. Which means that a lot of people were racist and it would cause violence. || This was a major role in the civil rights movement because blacks felt like they deserved better then what they got. The fought for their rights and demanded what they wanted. ||
