 * ~ Primary Source ||~ Analysis ||~ Description/Context ||~ Role in Civil Rights Movement ||
 * "On the Verge of a Dangerous Racial Conflagration" ||  ||   ||   ||
 * "Rules for Riding Desegregated Buses" || Karisa || The article was about how Rosa Park's refusing to give up her bus seat led to a boycott against city buses. It included the letter that was meant for black people to see explaining the boycott and how no one was identified for starting the boycott. The rules for the boycott was that all colored people weren't supposed to ride city buses at all cost on Monday because they wanted to make a point that colored people shouldn't be arrested for not giving up their seat. || By boycotting they wanted to stress that black people have rights, and they shouldn't be arrested for not giving up their seats. ||
 * "No school in our state will be integrated" || Big Mike || The article was about the Mississippi governor Ross Barnett not wanting to let a black man named James Meredith into the University of Mississippi. He believed that all schools in the state should be segregated because it was what they fought for in Plessy vs. Ferguson. It's what the Supreme Court had said was Constitutional. President Kennedy started noticing that the crowds were getting more involved and he wanted James to be safe so he sent federal troops to escort him into the school so he could go to learn. || By JFK getting involved he stated that he didn't want segregation in schools especially. He told Barnett that he would have nothing of it. ||
 * "Non-violence and Racial Justice 1957" || Randall || This article explains how all Americans, Black and white, can receive equal, fair justice through the courts, without having to resort to violence. ||  ||
 * "Letter from a Freedom Fighter's Father 1961" page 1, page 2, text only || Jared || This document is about a man who is addressing the Emmet Till case. He is talking about organizations that have been made in Mississippi to help protect African Americans, and if lynching and mobs continue to happen they will basically be forced to have to use force themselves, which will only lead to more bloodshed. The second page is about all of the rules for people who ride the bus. It talks about how everyone should act, and how segregated buses were unconstitutional. || This played a major role because in both of these it encouraged people to help in the Civil Rights movement. With Rosa Parks and her bus incident. ||
 * "A Volatile Time, 1962" || Karisa || This document is telling about how a man named J. Robert Elliott, who was a federal judge who stopped civil rights activists from marching in Albany, Georgia, had a change in heart when he heard brutal stories. After hearing that mobs of people would join outside Carol King's house and threaten her via telephone saying that they were going to kill her husband, Elliot thought twice about stopping civil right movements. He then joined the efforts and sided with the people for civil rights, saying that blacks had the right to peaceful protests. || Since Elliott was a judge, he had a pretty big power, and when he said that blacks can protest, it really helped. ||
 * "An Ugly Situation in Birmingham, 1963" || Austin ||  ||   ||
 * "Patience is a Dirty and Nasty Word" || Randall ||  ||   ||
 * "One Volunteer's Freedom Summer, 1964" || Karisa || A person named Terri Shaw described what it was like to be a part of freedom summer and the hardships that came with it. Freedom summer was a campaign in 1964 to register blacks to vote. She was trained to be prepared for people wanting to kill her and she did see horrible instances. She worked very hard to handle the press, FBI, Justice Dept. and local law enforcement officers; keeping a daily log; handling telephone communications with the Jackson, Greenwood and Atlanta offices; sending a daily written report to Jackson and weekly reports to the Justice Dept., Atlanta and Greenwood; and a variety of other duties. Her biggest goal though was to get black people to register to vote. || The whole thing was about trying to get civil rights for black people and preparing the blacks for what life would be like after the civil rights got passed. ||
 * "Alabama Voter Registration Form, c.1964-65" || Jared || This document is Alabama's voter registration form. It is like an application for your right to vote, even though the constitution says you can vote if you are a citizen. Also it asks many questions that are not necessary like if you have been expelled from school or anything. This is basically segregating you from the election for no good reason. Also in this document it has parts of the constitution. || This had played a major role in the Civil rights because many people didn't like this registration form and spoke out against it. ||
 * "What does Mississippi Have to Do With Harlem? (1964)" audio || Mike || This was Malcolm X's speech to the black society about being tired of doing nothing to the racial problems in America. Like all the groups that take use words instead of guns to get their point across. Malcolm X tells them that the African America culture needs to stand up and fight. He thought that the non-violence issue wasn't working and that it was time to use violence.He also asks him "What does Mississippi have to do with Harlem?" What he meant was that there is no Dixon line, America is America and people need to realize that. He's tells them that "If one room in your house is dirty, then your whole house is dirty." He's saying that not just one state is bad, all of the states are and that all of the places need to be cleaned. || This had a minor role but it made Blacks think about what was going on. He made them think about standing up for something a little more, and that running away from one state isn't going to stop the racial issues. ||
 * "Creating an Open and Just City, 1966" || Randall ||  ||   ||
 * "Two Societies, Separate and Unequal, 1967" || Randall || The article here explains about how differences between black and white societies vary in equality. Blacks would stay on their own end of town, use their permitted things in public(drinking fountain, sidewalks ect.) ||  ||
 * "People, Acting Together, Are Power, 1967" || Jared || This document is about the first black mayor of Cleveland Carl Stokes, and some of the things he experienced. He did many good things while he was the mayor. If a small church needed a speaker he would never say no. Carl Stokes also got involved in many charity events. Almost everything political he did he did by himself. || This also played a major role in the Civil Rights movement because many people followed him for the good things he did. ||
 * "The Goals of the Poor People's Campaign, 1968" || Austin ||  ||   ||
 * "Where is the Draft for the Freedom Fight?" || Randall ||  ||   ||
 * "The Panthers' Ten-Point Platform" || Mike || In this passage the Panthers' are saying that they have had enough of all the injustice. They are demanding these things from the government. They want: Freedom, they want fair employment, the end of the robbery of the promises of the 2 mules, and 4 acres promised to them after they was released from slavery, they want better housing instead of the houses they are forced to live in, they want the same education that white people get, and the true story of everything, they want the black men incarcerated to be let go, and they want the government to give them food and housing. They basically expected the government to pardon everything black men and woman have done, and then give them everything. I think some people deserved to be let go but no the murderers, and rapist. || This was another small thing that really didn't make a difference in things getting changed. I think that the panthers' basically wanted all of these things given to them so they wouldn't have any responsibilities. Which I think is wrong. ||
 * "Attica Inmate Demands, 1971" || Austin ||  ||   ||
 * "Both Parties Have Betrayed Us, 1972" || Jared || This document is about African American political meetings. They had people and other groups who supposedly followed them, but whenever one of their ideas went against the other groups they betrayed them. They wouldn't support any of their ideas that went against even though said they would. Also most of their ideas went against what the other people liked. || One of the roles this played in the Civil Rights movement is it made other people try harder for what they believe in. ||
 * "Keeping Atlanta Too Busy To Hate, 1975" || Austin ||  ||   ||
 * "Remember the Real Fight, 1975" || Karisa || It was a letter written by Reggie Cagle, a director of educational counseling, to blacks explaining how do deal with conflicts during the Boston busing crisis. The Boston busing crisis was when buses were segregated deeply in the south and throughout Boston and whites were extremely violent to blacks.The letter was informing them that there is more police around the city, and if they got caught in any shape or form, they should know their rights, how to exercise them, and what the law is. They will know those things by being well educated. || Reggie was saying that blacks needed to be well educated of their rights in case they are ever caught doing anything by the police. ||
 * "Equal Opportunity Not Enough" || Karisa || President Johnson is explaining in the commencement speech at Howard University on June 4, 1965 that with civil rights, freedom isn't enough. Although black people have equal opportunities now, Johnson was explaining that the problems before are making African Americans unable to move forward. Their problem of poverty and racism is too overbearing but somehow we needed to overcome those problems. He's also saying that it will take the work of the blacks and the whites in order to overcome the obstacles. || With new freedoms comes responsibility and a black person isn't really free without the help of a white person. ||
 * "Report on the Miami Riot, 1981" || Jared || This document is about the report on the Miami riot. Over 74% of the people in the riot had a prior arrest. It also talks about how it started with somebody who got arrested when they weren't suppose to or they didn't think it was right. Also most of them weren't poor or part of the criminal class, but a group of people who were just standing up for what they believed in. || This played a major role in the Civil Rights movement because it sparked many other people to stand up for what they believe so more stuff like this continued to happen. ||
 * "Young Residents of Cabrini Green" || Austin ||  ||   ||
 * "We Must Have a Black Mayor, 1983" || Mike || This passage is about the first African American Mayor Harold Washington, and the speech he gave. He asks the people where now? He tells them that they have finally broken another barrier. He tells them they can't give up. He tells the people that the black community is huge and if you can get them on your side you have a majority vote. He also tells the people that every time the blacks get close to being completely free, and desegregated, the carpet is pulled out from underneath them and the problems come back. He tells them that the blacks aren't racist, but that they are just proud, and that all they want is to feel like they have a word. When they feel like they do then they will pick the side of the person that will give them that feeling. He tells them that it's time to break the final barriers, and become one nation, not two. || This was an extremely powerful speech. It made people think about standing up a little bit more, and maybe made white people think about changing their views and desegregating. ||
