Gradual Change: Continuity & Persistence

By: Jasmin Logan

Long Road to Justice

Conclusion

Many advocates such as Rosa Parks

Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Thurgood Marshall, Medgar Evars, Jesse Jackson, Fannie Lou Hamer, Emmett Till

Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), have contributed to the advancement of change throughout our society and have allowed for us to live in a world where brutality and injustice are not at the center of our lives but are definitely topics for discussion.

All in all, there have been great efforts from advocates who have evoked change and caused this nation to realize that every person no matter race, gender, or religion be granted equal opportunities as well as freedoms. Because of those wonderful people we have the power to do so as well. What changes will you make?

Thank you for your time!!!

Today: President Barack Obama Takes a Stand

The Big Picture

Civil & Economic Strategies of Today

  • Barack Obama initiated his campaign with the idea of change.
  • He allowed us to feel that the things we learned about throughout history, were finally occurring.
  • Deemed the FIRST African American President of the U.S. - (a true representation of "change")
  • Although he has had an immense amount of hardship and struggles over the course of his presidency, he still remains an iconic historical figure who wants the world to see “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” --------Barack Obama

The Civil Rights Movement:

  • During the civil rights era in the United States, groups and individuals worked to end racial segregation and the unequal treatment of African-Americans. Led by prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., protesters and organizers used campaigns and legal means to transform a nation and seek a brighter future for all Americans.
  • Although we continue to face racism daily, it does not compare to the things that many people and prominent individuals faced during the civil rights era.
