  1. So some of the pros of this movement, it really brought protesters together.
  2. It brought the segregationists together and it inspired them.
  3. It gave them hope that change could happen when things had been one way for so long.
  4. And the movement was successful and passing
  5. a lot of legislation regarding segregation,
  6. housing and employment discrimination,
  7. voting rights.
  8. Um and over time public and private places continued to become more integrated.
  9. And another really big pro was that martin Luther King Jr,
  10. really preached Nonviolence.
  11. His supporters
  12. engaged in very peaceful protests. They believed in making change, but not by
  13. committing acts of violence.
  14. Um and the movement leaders had a huge lasting effect
  15. even on current youth and current people in North America.
  16. There are lasting source of inspiration,
  17. but some of the cons of the movement. So, as I said before, um
  18. you know, it brought people together in one way, but
  19. although de segregationists were inspired and encouraged,
  20. there was a lot of volatility on the side of segregationists,
  21. so the police were physically violent, abusive,
  22. verbally abusive to um so there was a lot of
  23. damage incurred on protesters, They had to take the brunt of a lot of pain.
  24. Um and there was also a division between the beliefs
  25. in martin Luther King's camp and Malcolm X's camp,
  26. So it was black power versus integration.
  27. So there were kind of some different ideas there.
  28. So now we're going to talk about some music and
  29. music that was influenced by the civil rights movement.
  30. So the first song that I'm going to play a snippet of here
  31. is Nina Simone's 1960 for release from her album Nina Simone in concert,
  32. And this was an album that was recorded at Carnegie Hall.
  33. The album is made up of recordings from three different concerts,
  34. and this song is called Mississippi Goddamn!
