African-American Civil Rights Movement (1954–68)

The African-American Civil Rights Movement or 1960s Civil Rights Movement encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against black Americans and to secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the Constitution and federal law. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South.

The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. Between 1955 and 1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations and productive dialogues between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans. Forms of protest and/or civil disobedience included boycotts such as the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–56) in Alabama; "sit-ins" such as the influential Greensboro sit-ins (1960) in North Carolina; marches, such as the Selma to Montgomery marches (1965) in Alabama; and a wide range of other nonviolent activities.

Selma was the culmination that got Obama born.

Which party fought and introduced Black Civil Rights?
Republicans.
Bearing ArmsRepublicans passed the first Civil Rights Act in 1866 - Bearing Arms

The origin of the 1964 Civil Rights Act can be traced back to the Reconstruction era. That was when the Republican Party enacted the first civil rights act ever, the 1866 Civil Rights Act. Never heard of it? Democrat history professors would rather you didn’t. With that law, Republicans took a big step toward making Abraham Lincoln’s vision for “a new birth of freedom” a reality.

Ominously, the assassination of the Great Emancipator had left the presidency to his Democrat vice president, Andrew Johnson. Senator Lyman Trumbull (R-IL), co-author of the 13th Amendment banning slavery, also wrote the 1866 Civil Rights Act. Republican support was nearly unanimous, while Democrats were unanimously opposed. This would be the first time Congress overrode a presidential veto of a significant bill.

The law conferred U.S. citizenship on all African-Americans, according them “full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property as is enjoyed by white citizens.” Despite Democrat objections, Republicans made sure African-Americans had the right to own property, engage in business, sign contracts and file lawsuits.

Andrew Johnson refused to enforce this law in the southern states, so it had little effect there. However, many racially discriminatory laws in the North were repealed or struck down as a result.

Sixty-four of eighty Democrats in the House of Representatives had voted against the 13th Amendment. And so, Republicans feared that once the southern states were back in the Union, a Democrat majority along with a racist Democrat in the White House might undo all they had accomplished for African-Americans. What if they repealed the new Civil Rights Act?

To keep that law safe from a future Democrat Congress, Republicans enshrined its precepts in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment. Another point of pride for the GOP is that Republicans voted unanimously for the 14th Amendment, while Democrats voted unanimously against it.

Republicans followed this success with several more civil rights acts during the Ulysses Grant administration, including one that effectively outlawed the Ku Klux Klan. The next step was the brainchild of one of our party’s greatest heroes, Senator Charles Sumner. He wrote the 1875 Civil Rights Act, which anticipated the 1964 Civil Rights Act with its ban on racial discrimination in public accommodations. He had been pushing for the bill for years. On his deathbed, he told a former Attorney General: “You must take care of the civil rights bill – my bill, the civil rights bill – don’t let it fail.”

Though the law came a decade too late to have much of an impact in the Democrat-controlled South, many discriminatory practices in northern states were eliminated. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 1883. The majority opinion declaring that 14th Amendment guarantees did not extend to acts by private citizens and businesses was the reason the 1964 Civil Rights Act would have to be based more tenuously on the federal government’s authority to regulate interstate commerce.

Nine decades would pass before the Republican Party was able to enact further civil rights legislation. President Dwight Eisenhower signed into law the 1957 Civil Rights Act, whose author was a former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Enforcement was improved by the GOP’s 1960 Civil Rights Act.

Three years later, Republican congressmen introduced a bill guaranteeing equal access to public accommodations. The Kennedy administration countered with a weaker version of this bill, which then became the basis for the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Sadly, it was Democrat defiance of the civil rights movement that postponed so much progress, from 1866 until 1964.

Yeah, dumbass, but it ain't the same Republicans of today. Democrats evolved; Republicans devolved.

Dem's evolved backwards to big government, forcing Americans into their program or be penalized in Taxes.

Who grew government more - Reagan or Obama?

Obama faced a recession when he was elected. What did he do? He immediately had the federal government spend $1 trillion in stimulus spending. He raised 20 taxes in from the new Health Care Act. He piled new regulations on energy, and stopped new jobs by shutting down drilling in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. He added a new entitlement spending program—Health Care—without reforming any existing programs.

Under Reagan he lowered taxes, reducing the growth of government spending, a stable currency and less regulation created 9.6 million jobs and increased the economy by 18.5 percent.

Obama’s policies of more taxes, more spending, more regulation and loose monetary policies have led to 5.7 million fewer jobs than Reagan created and an economy with growth nearly 50 percent smaller than it could have been.
So I would say Obama has.

Face it, Lakhota, Obama hijacked the MoveOn movement more than Ali Khamenei hijacked the Iranian revolution.

There is no denying that Obama has spent more than any other president in U.S. history. That is a fact, but that also holds true for every president since Herbert Hoover.
Barack Obama: Added $6.167 trillion
George W. Bush: Added $5.849 trillion
Bill Clinton: Added $1.396 trillion
George H.W. Bush: Added $1.554 trillion
Ronald Regan: Added $1.86 trillion

Dwight Eishower:Added $23 billion

Franklin Roosevelt: Added $236 billion

Notice that is has been Trillions since Regan and it does not matter whether it was a R. or a D.

Can't really blame them is what you posted is true. After what Democrats, the party of slavery, and blacks have said about Republicans I wouldn't go either. (mostly white democrats) Besides I do believe the country is getting race fatigue. That is why every incident that involves a person of color has to be raised to Def Con 5 if not then everyone is bored, even I would think blacks.

So Robert Bird was a republican when? intelligent people know that this mime is not true.
Keep trying,you can't produce one let alone millions.

• His name was Byrd, not Bird.
• Republican is a proper noun and should be capitalized.
• Words that begin sentences should be capitalized.
  
• It's meme, not mime. Mime is the art of wordless expression through motion, movement and gesture.
• After a comma, a space is required.

There should also be a comma after "one", in your last sentence.

You clearly are far from intelligent.




Oh, and your username? You can't even spell chicken correctly. You're uneducated.

...take advantage of what was a poor time in our history!

What was NOT a poor time in history in this regard?

Oh, poor baby the Republican 1964 Civil Rights Bill has passed you by!

Don't you find it odd that rather than embracing their role in Civil Rights, today's Republicans seem to be distancing themselves from it

Their constituency - older White Republicans - didn't elect them to be inclusive.
