What are some of the key moments in American History?</h3>
1. A. Philip Randolph was involved in the 1963 Washington march because he wanted to help elicit attention to the exclusion of African Americans from the hierarchies of the national defense sector.
A. Philip Randolph an African American civil rights activist and was pro-political equality.
2. At the 1963 Washington march, John Lewis of SNCC aged 23 then, was asked to tone down the content of his speech because it was considered inflammatory by the then Arch Bishop of Washington - Patrick O'Boyle.
The issue here was one of self-interest. Each party was focused on something else, hence the delicate balance between activism and politics.
3. The objective of the whites in the Civil Rights Movement same as those of the blacks. They joined forces with the blacks to fight racial discrimination.
The white activists (six of them) joined forces with six other African Americans to protest based on the 1960 decision by the Supreme court.
Because they were whites, they got the attention of other white people who also joined in the protest. Twelve of them together were called the Freedom Riders. Some activists challenged their participation based on trust issues.
Their involvement was a welcome idea although it should have been anticipated that it would come with some challenges, especially from the SNCC that were 100% black.
4. The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party headed by Fannie Lou Hamer uncovered the existing tension between the African Americas and the all-white pro-segregation Mississippi Democratic Party in respect of working together.
5. Also called the Mississippi Summer Project, the Freedom Summer was designed to change the structure of Mississippi politically by ensuring that they increased the number of black voters that were registered.
6. The non-vaolent tactics in Selma was not without a price. People died as a result because towards the end of the non-violent protest or rally, many were wounded and injured.
The rally became known as Blody Sunday, and resulted in the President calling for a new legislation on the 15th of March, 1965. President Johnson concluded that address by the words "We shall overcome".
