Answer:

The violent protests held in 1968 during the Democratic National Convention were motivated by young people's dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

When the 1968 Democratic National Convention began in Chicago, thousands of young activists from all over the country gathered in the city to protest against the Vietnam War. In a confrontation that was televised live, Americans were shocked to see Chicago police beating anti-war protesters on the streets of the city. As protesters shouted "The whole world is watching," police used sticks and tear gas to repel demonstrators, leaving many of them bloody and stunned. The tear gas still floated in suites of numerous hotels, in one of them Vice President Humphrey was watching the event on television. However, police claimed their actions were justified because police officers were being injured by bottles, stones and shards of glass being thrown at them by protesters, and protesters also shouted verbal insults at police officers, calling them "pigs" and other epithets. The anti-war riots divided the base of the Democratic Party, with some supporting the protesters and feeling that the police were being weighed, but others frowned on the violence and supported the police.

What was life like in the 1950’s for African Americans?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Many blacks were regularly forced to attend all black colleges. High schools and elementary schools were located in the most run-down locations, surrounded by poverty, forcing the standard of living and the standard of education to be obviously lower than that of the whites'. Some whites claimed that African Americans "weren't intelligent enough to even have the privilege of an education at all". The main issue that the terrible schooling system generated was that it was nearly impossible for blacks to fit in with society, because without an education, they were lost, without a decent paying job.

Explanation:

Life as a black man, woman, or child was guaranteed to be rough in the 1950s. Blacks' Constitutional right to vote was infringed upon until 1965. It was evident that discrimination was present; for example, it was more difficult for blacks to purchase houses in certain neighborhoods or developments. Sometimes, blacks weren't even permitted in specific public facilities or spaces.  

African Americans weren't allowed to join the YMCA nor the YWCA. Surprisingly, full-grown black men were never talked to as adults; they were talked down to and treated like children. All blacks were expected to respond to whites with a "yes ma'am" or "yes sir" to show respect, no matter what the age of that white was. Discrimination was most commonly known to relate to bus stops and water fountains; blacks had a separate water fountain and were forced to sit in the back of the bus if seats were scarce
