Equality for All Americans
Justin Morales, Your supreme leader
Everyone has the Right to be Equal~
There was no stopping the motivated people; many were killed by lynching because of it. People such as Elizabeth Eckford, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. fought for what they thought was right, and if it was not for their bravery, African Americans most likely would have never been considered equal at this point in time.
Civil Disobedience ~
Counter sit-ins were mainly popular for the youth. They would go to a restaurant, go to the white countered area, and sit until provided with service. Usually, they were attacked by the customers around them with verbal and physical abuse. The protesters would not fight back or say a word, but instead would sit there in a peaceful manner. They would often be arrested and sent to jail while the real criminals who attacked them, would be let go.
Marches were often used to protest against the city or government in the area, such as the march Selma. 3,200 civil right members gathered together as a unified unit, an began to march from Selma, Alabama to the state capital, Montgomery. The march had been stopped twice before due to the Alabama state police; National guard men were brought in to protect the marchers. From the outcome of the march, that August, President Johnson signed the voting act, which guaranteed African Americans the right to vote.
