, Right and Protests
Civil rights movement in the United States
1954 – 1965
1. Background
1.a. US Civil War (1864-65) and inequalities
th
- in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signs the 13 amendment of the US Constitution, which officially ended slavery in
the USA
- however, new reforms of social discrimination emerged, which limited black people’s ability to vote
1.a.i. Jim Crow laws
- introduced in Southern States which made segregation the norm and ensured white supremacy
- "Jim Crow" being a pejorative term for an African-American
- prohibited African Americans using public facilities like restaurants, cinemas, hotels, etc.

- disenfranchisement
o the Mississippi “Pig Law” of 1876, for example, broadened the definition of grand larceny from a theft of
anything valued at more than $25 to a value of $10
o black Americans’ right to vote would be systematically denied through the use of poll taxes, property tests,
intimidation and literacy tests
o grandfather clause – you could only vote if your grandfather was able to vote as well
- access to housing, education, and jobs were limited
- “separate but equal”
o in 1896, the US Supreme Court ruled, during the Plessy v. Ferguson case, that black and white people could be
separated as long as things were equal
o the Supreme Court stated that the inferiority of black people is not due to a fallacy of the institution, rather
because “the coloured race chooses to put that construction upon it”
- by 1920, interracial violence and hostility were still commonplace
- by the 1930s, nearly 3 million school-aged black children (81% of all) lived in 17 states
1.a.ii. Ku Klux Klan
- white supremacist political organisation that began as a club in Tennessee in 1866
- youngish, middle-class, white men, wearing white clothing and colonial hats
- intimidation, beatings, mutilation and lynching
