Module 5 Short Responses – Question 1 In the space below, specify which historical lens you'd like to use for this exercise. The historical lens that I’d like to use for this exercise is social history and how it has affected society. 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 does the civil rights movement have on society as a whole. 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 two primary sources that I might use to answer my research question would be: 1. THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES: CIVIL RIGHTS CIVIL RIGHTS CIVIL RIGHTS: New York Times (1923-); 2. White House Conference on Civil Rights resolutions on civil rights: Lyndon Baines Johnson Library, Austin, Texas 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. The two different secondary sources that I could use to answer my research question would be: 1. Civil Rights movement an article by: Michael Capek that talks about the effects of the civil rights movement on young African Americans. 2. Civil rights article by: By: Wilson, Richard L.
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 made people be more understanding of each other and wanting of equality. 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. 1. The limited scope: the "special provisions" of the Act that applied to only those states and localities with a demonstrated history of discrimination against African American voting rights. It allowed for the justice department to use its sources to help with discrimination in areas it was high in. 2. “Bloody Sunday” the unprovoked attack on March 7, 1965, by state troopers on peaceful marchers crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, which lead for people to urge President Johnson to act. 3. President Kennedy's assassination, lead to the passing of the Voting Rights Act. 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 was a part of the course of this bill’s passage by congress would be the voting rights act which was accomplished by the fifteenth amendment. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 8 Name three specific consequences caused by the passage of the Voting Rights Act. 1. Even though African American voter registration increased it did not, however, translate immediately into increased political power for them in the South.
