Module 5 Short Responses – Question 1 In the space below, specify which historical lens you'd like to use for this exercise. For this exercise I would like to use the historical lens of politics. 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. What impact did the civil rights movement have on the economy at the height of controversy? 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. My first primary source is titled "the modern civil rights movement" from the National Park Service. My second primary source is titled "the aged segment of the market, 1950 and 1960" by Sidney Goldstein. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 4 Next, name two different secondary sources you could use to answer your research question. Again, be as specific as you can. Your secondary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library. My first secondary source is titled "blacks and the quest for economic equality" by James Button, Barbara Rienzo, and Sheila Croucher. My second secondary source is titled "Sharing the Prize?; the economics of the civil rights revolution in the American South." by Gavin Wright. 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. After the fall of Jim Crow laws the economy in the south began to boom, despite the many years of forced segregation the African American community was still willing to support society 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. The three historical events that I feel contributed the most to the passage of the Voting Rights Act were the march from Selma to Montgomery, Brown v Education Board, and the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The march from Salem to Montgomery was a peaceful protest that met violence on "Bloody Sunday". This march was televised and people all over the nation saw the brutal attack these African American protestors endured by white cops. This attack highlighted the brutality that African Americans had experienced daily within their own communities and why change was so important. The ruling in Brown v Board of Education was a fight for the desegregation of schools which would allow for African AMerican children to get better and well-deserved education. This ruling allowed African American children to integrate with white children instead of segregating them and bussing them off to a black only school. Lastly, the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led to many different things. What was most important was that it led President Johnson to push the Voting Rights Act through congress. King's death although horrible helped to give the president the push he needed and eventually get the Act signed into law. 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. One event that I thought was part of the course of the bill's passage by congress was the march from on Selma. This horrible event and the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were leading factors in helping to get the bill passed.
