Module 6 Short Responses – Question 1 Which source will you analyze using active reading strategies? Include the name of the article, the author, the publication, the date, and where you found it. Read your chosen source using the active reading strategies you learned on the previous page. Then, summarize the overall meaning and content of the reading. Write your summary below. Your summary should be at least one paragraph long. the Memorial to Congress from the American Woman Suffrage Association. DocsTeach. (1872, February 6). Retrieved May 22, 2022, from https://www.docsteach.org/documents/document/awsa-memorial This was about how the women's suffrage front split due to not getting rights to vote. While black men got the right to vote with the 15th amendment women had to wait for the 19th amendment to vote. The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and The American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) ended up going in different directions to get to the same result. Module 6 Short Responses – Question 2 What events or historical forces contributed to the Boston busing crisis of the mid- 1970s? Name at least three, and briefly explain why you think each one was a contributory cause of the Boston busing crisis. 1. The Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that ruled that racial segregation in schools was unconstitutional played a contributory role in the Boston busing crisis. 2. In 1965, the Massachusetts state congress voted and passed a law requiring all segregated schools to integrate. This law was met with excellent resistance from the Boston School Committee, and they refused to implement a plan for desegregation, which carried over to the busing crisis. 3. Judge Garrity's ruling in 1974 that Boston's schools were unconstitutionally segregated. Garrity's decision forced desegregation by making busing mandatory. This event is considered by many to be one of the critical events in the busing crisis. Module 6 Short Responses – Question 3 Name three specific consequences of the Boston busing crisis. 1. Once busing had become mandatory, white residents impacted the demographic of Boston by moving out of mixed-race urban areas to the predominately white suburbs. This became known as white flight.
2. During the busing crisis, black and white students started boycotting the schools by staying home and not attending. In 1975, fifty percent of students were absent /boycotting. 3. The busing crisis brought about a mass of violent protests leading to the State Police and National Guard having to escort students in and out of school amidst the fighting Module 6 Short Responses – Question 4 Describe one cause of the event you have chosen for your historical analysis (keeping in mind that there are many), and explain one piece of evidence from your research that you will use to support this assertion. Describe one consequence of the event, and explain one piece of evidence from your research that you will use to support this assertion. While researching my question, I have changed it up just a little. With the study, the question can and can not be answered. But we are still using the 19th amendment and women's suffrage in today's life, and the impacts are evident. " On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment was certified by U.S. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby, and women finally achieved the long-sought right to vote throughout the United States." (2010, March 5). This shows that we were finally allowed to vote, which was an outstanding achievement in the 1920s. We continued to make strides on women's suffrage by being able to play sports at schools. "The amendment read in part, "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." It had a far-reaching impact on women in sports." "Also That you will take such additional steps as are necessary, by amending the federal constitution or otherwise. to prohibit political distinctions on account of sex everywhere.
