Fisrt attempt to end slavery
German, and Dutch Quakes made a pamphlet denouncing the practice of slavery. This was just the start of the attempt to end slavery. The next 150 years of fighting aginst slavery would start here.
This event was important becaues it started the attempts to end slavery. THis would only encourage other people to try and help end slavery. -
National Negro Convention
Was in Philadelpia, Forty freed African-Americans goin together. They are trying to protect the rights of all freed African-Americans. It was a Ten-Day convention and it was held by the ASFPC, they were enceraged to move all African-Americans to Canada.
I think this event helped becuse it showed that the African-American people where not going to just give up. It showed that they wanted there rights and respect that and other man would get. It showed people they would fight for there rights. -
Ruling of School Integration
the Supreme Court ruling of school integration, African-Americans wanted their fourteenth amendment civil rights be protected. MLKJ started a peaceful equality movement. Marches, Sit-ins, Speeches and other harmless things.
This will help abolishionist because not only will they be trying to end slavery but also the Aferican-Americans will also be helping to gain there freedom. Also this will just be the start of the atempts to end slavery by MLKJ. -
Montgomery But Boycoot
The goverment money because they owed the bus transports at the time. -
Montgomery Bus Boycoot
Rosa Parks sat downa dn refused to give her seat to a white man. she is aressted and then MLKJ and a huge group of African-Americans, walk insted of taking the bus. They would not use the buses to go to school, work, town, or for anyother reason.
This is an event that showed the whites that African-Americans would go as far as walking further then they had to to gain there rights. THis also helped them gain some power on the whites, because they refused to use the but which cost the--- -
Sit-in
the sit ins where African-American poeple who sat at counters waiting till the got severed the same as whites did. Huge groups of white men would gather around them and start hitting, screaming, and spitting on them. This was a very non-violent on the African-Americans part to gian rights.
This helped the abolishonist because it shows how white men treat not only African-American men but woman as well. this showed the public how people where towards them. -
Freedom Riders
13 African-American and white civil rights activists take a series of bus trips through the American South to protest segregation on interstate bus terminals.
this was a good way for abolishonist to show people that even if there was a law aginst something the southern whites wouldnt fallow it. So they would have to make it a law for everyone not just some people. -
Birmingham Campaign
This was a campaign that would show just how violent whites would be. THere was a large gropu of African-Americans who where protesting non-violently, and Bull Connor the public saftey commissioner ordered police to use clubs, high pressure fire hoses, and police dogs on demonstrators.
this was good for the abolishonis because they had it set up an had news chanels around to show the Americans what people where like. this is when JFK insisted on the Civil rights bill -
March on Washington
200,000 Demonstrators of all races where lead by MLKJ's I have a dream speech. it was a march to champaign for voting rights. There where 2,000 African-Americans that will be arrested even children.
THis was help to the abolishonist because this was another way for them to show that they Africans could be doing nothing and get attacked
