SoSe 15: The African-American Civil Rights Movement
Rebecca Jennifer Miriam Brückmann
Kommentar
In this seminar, we will explore the African-American Civil Rights
Movement in its struggle for legal and social equality. Whereas Black
activists in the early 20th century pursued various strategies from
“racial accommodation” to emigration, the Civil Rights Movement eventually protested Jim Crow fundamentally and sought to end de jure segregation in the South as well as racial discrimination in other parts of the country, transcending a Southern sectional experience. We will examine the development of African American protest and discuss the contested conception of a "Long Civil Rights Movement" from the 1930s until today. This includes the legal campaigns of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the United States’ Supreme Court’s landmark decision Brown v. Board of Education, segregationists' campaign of Massive Resistance, the activism of the movement’s most prominent organizations and protagonists, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X, women’s contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, and the
Black Power and Urban Movements.
