How did jazz musicians begin the process of breaking down racial barriers?

History
1 answer:
igomit [66]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

"A decade before Jackie Robinson broke down baseball's "color barrier," the black jazz greats Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton were making not just musical but also social and cultural history by playing with Benny Goodman, the enormously popular white band leader and clarinetist known as the King of Swing. Goodman's racial mix worked superbly, and its success struck a significant blow against racism.

Certainly, racism reared its ugly head in many insidious ways in the recording and publishing industries where black composers and musicians were often ripped off by the white power structure. Even the media-created title, King of Swing, would have been far more justly afforded to such legendary black band leaders as Duke Ellington, Count Basie or Jimmie Lunceford. Not even the greatest black jazz artists, such as Louis Armstrong, Ellington or Charlie Parker, were exempt from the long, poisonous reach of the overt racism of their time."-these words are from Deseret, wanted to give you an accurate answer.

Explanation:

jazz musicians began to break down racial barriers, by proving that they could do anything if not better that white people could do. they didn't want the color of their skin to be something that would hold them back from being successful in the world. they wanted to show that just because they were denied of the right to live, vote and many more that they could prove all of those things wrong and do something great.

Which Vietnam policy came first in the Johnson Administration?
nexus9112 [7]

The ACTUAL correct answer is:  A. Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

Dates of the items listed:

  • Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: 1964
  • Operation Rolling Thunder:  1965-1968
  • Tet Offensive:  1968
  • Vietnamization:  began 1969, under Nixon Administration

Further detail on Gulf of Tonkin Resolution:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.  The key wording in the resolution said:

  • <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war.  Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.

Read the excerpt from Citizenship. Before women were allowed to vote, both men and women organized, protested, and marched. Fina
brilliants [131]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the excerpt of the book or a link to it.

However, although you forgot to include this important information, we can help you with the following comments.

The example could support the author's main purpose in the book -like other similar books- in that it shows the long and difficult road that passed before the federal government could grant women the right to vote.

It is true that before women were allowed to vote, both men and women organized, protested, and marched until the 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote in 1920.

We can refer to history and focus on the beginning of the women's suffrage movement that started during the Seneca Falls Convention of July 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. An event organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Staton. That long was the road to the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
