Module 5 Short Responses – Question 1 In the space below, specify which historical lens you'd like to use for this exercise. The lens that I would like to use for this exercise is the social lens. I believe the social lens allows us to look at the civil rights movement more differently. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 2 Next, formulate a research question about the civil rights movement (historical time from 1954 – 1968), using the lens you've chosen. Other than education, in what ways did the civil rights movement affect African Americans? Module 5 Short Responses – Question 3 First, go back and review the research question you developed in Step 1. For Step 2, first name two different primary sources that you might use to answer that question. Be as specific as you can. Your primary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library. The first primary source that I feel would be good to use is an article containing a letter revolving around the civil rights movement. "Leslie W. Dunbar, 95, Reserved Leader Of Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s". The second primary source that I would use is an article with an eye witness account that explains what life was like during the civil rights movement. "Moving to the Front of the Bus: An account of the women at the heart of the civil rights movement." Sandomir, R. (2017, Jan 18). Leslie W. Dunbar, 95, Reserved Leader Of Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. New York Times (1923-) https://ezproxy.snhu.edu/login?qurl=https %3A%2F%2Fwww.proquest.com%2Fhistorical-newspapers%2Fleslie-w-dunbar-95- reserved-leader-civil-rights%2Fdocview%2F2463473857%2Fse-2%3Faccountid%3D3783 Brownmiller, S. (2001, Feb 18). Moving to the Front of the Bus: An account of the women at the heart of the civil rights movement.

question. Again, be as specific as you can. Your secondary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library. For my first secondary source, I'm going to choose an article that contains a lot of information about the civil rights movement which was a part of the series titled "Essential Library of Social Change". It includes important information that can be used for my research question. The second secondary source that I would use is: "The civil rights movement and the logic of social change [electronic resource] / Joseph E. Luders." It includes relevant information as well. Michael Capek. (2014). Civil Rights Movement. Essential Library. Luders, J. E. (2010). The civil rights movement and the logic of social change. [electronic resource]. Cambridge University Press. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 5 Construct a thesis statement that provides an answer to the research question you posed in Step 1. Base your response on the historical evidence that's been presented in this course so far, as well as any research you may have done on your own. The civil rights movement ended segregation and discrimination, in which African Americans would no longer be discriminated against. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 6 Name three specific historical events that can be considered contributory causes of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Briefly explain why you believe each of these events contributed to the passage of the Act. I believe several historical events definitely contributed to the Voting Rights Act. John F. Kennedy's assassination contributed because after his assassination, President Johnson continued is work into wanting equality. Bloody Sunday was an event that helped President Johnson sign the Voting Rights Act into law. In addition, the arrest of Martin Luther King Jr, was something that fueled people to get behind him. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 7 Based on what you read about the passage of the Voting Rights Act on Page 1 of this learning block, name one event that was part of the course of this bill's passage by Congress.
