How did some southerners resist the brown v board of education

History
1 answer:

<em>They created Citizens' Councils, or the White Citizens' Councils (WCC).</em>

Explanation:

The Brown v. Board of Education is a very important part of history and marks racial integration in public schools. This all happened because a young African American girl had to walk over a mile to her black school when there was a white school only a few blocks away.

This case ended up going all of the way to the Supreme Court, which said racial segregation in schools was in fact unconstitutional. This also threatened the idea, "separate but equal." During this time, there was not only racial segregation in public schooling but pretty much everywhere. Movie theaters, water fountains, restaurants, transportation, and even housing are just a few of the things that were segregated during this time.

When racial segregation in public schools was deemed to be unconstitutional, states now had to integrate their schools. This took a long time to complete, as many Southern states did not want this to happen. In order to try to resist the integrating of schools, some Southerners created the White Citizens' Councils. The WCC did awful things, like trying to stop boycotts, firing black Americans, and in some cases harming black Americans as well.

Benefits and challenges that the Clergy class faced
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Pros :

You had the possibility to help people rather directly as there were more little towns.

People were much more receptive to your preaches. You had a rather large freedom of speech especially if you were a bishop. (This is not in middle ages but the priest that lead Louis XIV burial mass said in his preach “Only God is great !” (Implicitly saying that the king was a standart man that was confronted to the same necessity than other people).

You had access to a good education (and to some boos, what was rather scarce before the XVIth century) hence, you were one of the few litterate persons allowing you to teach people how to read and write. You could have an intellectual influence and a social influence by teaching the local lord’s children how to read and sometimes give political pieces of advice to the local lord.

You could yourself be a local lord as bishop / head of an abbey.

You could be the head of a local charity (origin of hospitals).

In France you didn’t pay taxes. On the contrary, you received one tenth of peasants’ crops.

If you were an eminent bishop / cardinal, or if you were the Pope you could have tremendous spiritual and political power.

You could get married while being a catholic priest (before the XIIth century, before 1123 precisely).

Cons :

You could be obliged to condemn people because they didn’t believe in God - help the Inquisition.

You had to help / discuss with people that were sentenced to death what should have been very difficult on a psychological point of view.

You couldn’t get married after the XIIth century (after 1123).

You could be seen with envy considering your privileges.

<span>More massive stars will become white dwarfs, neutron stars, novas, supernovas, black holes, depending on a variety of factors, including mass and the presence of a close stellar binary companion</span>
