Task 2

Characteristics:

• Racial segregation. By law, public facilities and government

services such as education were divided into separate and
unequal "white" and "colored" domains.
• Disenfranchisement. When White American Democrats regained
power, they passed laws that made voter registration more
complicated. Black voters were forced off the voting rolls, and
 the number of African-Americans elected to office decreased.
From 1890 to 1908, Southern states of the former Confederacy
created constitutions with provisions that disfranchised most
African Americans and, in many cases, poor White Americans.
• Exploitation. Increased economic oppression of blacks, Latinos,
and Asians, denial of economic opportunities, and widespread
employment discrimination.
• Violence. Individual, police, organizational, and mass racial
violence against blacks (and Latinos in the Southwest and
Asians in California).

Extra information:

On December 10, 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize, the youngest man to receive the award; he was 35
years of age.

Rev. James Lawson invited King to Memphis, Tennessee, in March

1968 to support a strike by sanitation workers. They had launched a
campaign for union representation after two workers were
accidentally killed on the job.

A day after delivering his famous "Mountaintop" sermon at Lawson's

church, King was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Riots broke out in
more than 110 cities across the United States in the days that
followed, notably in Chicago, Baltimore, and in Washington, D.C. The
damage done in many cities destroyed black businesses. It would
take more than a generation for those areas to recover.[citation needed]
Some still have not.[citation needed]

Rev. Ralph Abernathy succeeded King as the head of the SCLC and
attempted to carry forth King's plan for a Poor People's March. It was
to unite blacks and whites to campaign for fundamental changes in
American society and economic structure. The march went forward
under Abernathy's plainspoken leadership but did not achieve its
goals.
