It was built at the entrance to the headquarters of the Southern Poverty Law Center which is close to the church where Dr Martin Luther King Jr. served as minister when he led the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Abstract
The television media was a crucial vehicle in the ascendancy of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. In many respects, the media helped civil rights succeed during this period, which explains, in part, why civil rights efforts were not as successful during the pre-television period. Even more interesting, and perturbing, is the fact that the post-civil rights period witnessed television playing a negative influence in the context of African-American equality. Indeed, as the theme in Todd Gitlin's "The Whole World is Watching: Mass Media in the Making and the Unmaking of the New Left" suggests, television helped the civil rights movement succeed, just as it helped curtail it.

From the Paper
"Although Civil Rights has a broader universal meaning, the Civil Rights Movement in the United States refers to the social, political and legal struggle to gain equal rights for the black Americans and to end racial discrimination. The movement has a history of struggle by several individuals as well as organizations dating back to the time of abolition of slavery but it gained unprecedented momentum in the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement in the United States was instrumental in the successful passage of the Civil Rights Act, 1964 and the Voting Rights Act, 1965."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Civil Rights Act of 1865 and its place in the time line of history. It further describes the political and racial climate leading up to the Act, and points out that the Act was the turning point after which significant progress began occurring in the realm of civil rights for blacks.

From the Paper
"The Civil Rights Act 1865 of came right in the midst of a series o flandmark events in the history of civil rights in America. In March of... the United States Supreme Court in the case of Dred Scott v Sandford declared that both free and slave blacks were not and could never become citizens of the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of civil rights on the US by comparing African-American life prior to the 1950s with life following this time. The author examines various other movements in the US, noting in particular the women's movement and the anti-Vietnam War movement. The author believes, however, that the civil rights movement had an even greater impact. Additionally, the paper cites how Blacks were denied basic human rights in the Constitution, through slavery and in education. The paper concludes using the example of notable African-Americans to show how far civil rights have come.

From the Paper
" While the struggle for women's rights, the countercultural movement, and other social movements of the 1960s would fundamentally restructure American society and change the way that America looked at itself, nothing altered the landscape of the American political and social landscape as much as the American Civil Rights movement. Before the Women's Rights movement women still worked, although their labor was not always recognized, and great women scholars, authors, and professionals had made their mark upon the American landscape. (Furthermore, one could argue that the movement would have meant very little to Black women, had it succeeded in its objectives, but the Civil Rights movement had not). As for the countercultural movement, old and young people have often been in conflict, and the methods of expression of the countercultural, anti-Vietnam movement such as sit-ins and boycotts were often imitations of the techniques of the Civil Rights movement."

Abstract
The paper relates that in recent years, more and more interest has emerged about the role of the American Jewish Community in the civil rights movement. The paper looks at how one expert notes, "since the early 1990s, a variety of books, conversations, and public programs [have] generated a new body of work on the historical connection between blacks and Jews." In light of this growing interest, the current paper explores influences of the American Jewish community in the civil rights movement.

Abstract
This paper discusses the civil rights issue in the United States, and the somewhat radical way in which it has changed direction since the 1960s, when the Civil Rights Movement was in full force and achieved many milestones. The writer examines two primary causes of this change, namely, the implementation of the Patriot Act of 2001 and, in 2007, the Supreme Court's decision to illegalize partial-birth abortions. The paper also discusses the latest developments in civil rights and how to interpret them.

From the Paper
"The civil rights issue in the United States has undergone something of a reversal of emphasis since the 1960s, when the Civil Rights Movement was in full force. Two of the primary examples of this downward spiral have happened in twenty-first century, under George W. Bush's administration. They are the implementation of the Patriot Act of 2001 and, in 2007, the Supreme Court's decision to illegalize partial-birth abortions. Since 1945, the American Civil Rights Movement has had many successes. Now new challenges are afoot. It is important to understand them in full. The beginnings of these civil rights woes in America may be traced back to..."

Abstract
This paper consists of two article reviews about two articles written regarding the civil rights movement of African Americans in the United States during the early parts of World War II. The writer points out that the first article, by Stanley High, was published in 1942 and represents a powerful critical analysis of the social forces shaping the civil rights movement. The writer also notes that the second, by Jim O'Neal, published in 1970 is a lackluster attempt to connect blues music with war protest with the early civil rights movement.

From the Paper
"That World War II had an effect on the development of the civil rights movement for African Americans in the United States is almost certain. An event that large had far-reaching social influences from economic opportunity to equality issues in the armed forces. Stanley High, in his "How the Negro Fights for Freedom," expertly examines some of these issues and developments as they were happening. The result, from the perspective of a critic looking back on the era, is both enlightening and disturbing. The article is enlightening because, published in 1942, it provides historians with a first-hand account of the feelings of people actually living in the era of the struggles of African Americans and how some were using the war opportunistically to fuel a civil rights movement."
