Why do you think the lynching of emmett till became a catalyst in the national movement for civil rights?

History

Emmett Till was a teenage boy who was visiting his grandparents in Mississippi when he was killed. Supposedly Emmett whistled at a white female store owner after making a purchase. When the women's husband, Roy Bryant, found out about this situation he recruited JW Milam (his brother in law) to find the boy and punish him.

Ultimately, Bryant and Milam find Emmett Till at his grandparent's house. From there they kidnap him, beat him to death, and then throw him in a river where his body is found a few days later. These two men were accused of homicide but found guilty by an all white jury.

This scenario of brutal violence against a young man who did nothing to hurt anyone is one of the reasons why this was a catalyst for the Civil Rights movement. Millions of Americans all over the country were in shock to hear about the violence and rallied around this scenario as a means to advocate for civil rights.

Was the United States justified in its invasion of Cuba (i.e. the Bay of Pigs)? What U.S. values
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The Bay of Pigs invasion, also known as the Girón beach invasion, was a military operation or warlike act in which Cuban exile troops, supported by the US government, invaded Cuba in the years of 1961, to try to form a provisional government. to replace that of Fidel Castro and seek the support of the Organization of American States (in addition to the recognition of the international community). The action ended in failure within a few hours of the attack. It was completely crushed by the militias and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (FAR) that put a limit to all this by ending it. More than a hundred invading soldiers died, and the Cuban army captured 1,200, along with important war material.

Explanation:

One of the most important causes of all this was that the subsequent agreements with the Soviet Union definitively convinced the United States that the new Cuba was a danger to its global strategy. In the oval office of the White House an invasion of the island began to be plotted, for which the exiles living in Miami would be used as military forces, which in the end would give a vision more of "liberation" than of invasion itself bliss.
