Civil Rights Movement (view source)
Revision as of 08:57, February 15, 2019

The Supreme Court allowed segregation in 1896, and black leaders such as [[Booker T. Washington]] worked to build an alliance of black businessmen and farmers with benevolent whites, using education as the tool to eventually achieve equality. Militant blacks led by [[W.E.B. DuBois]] and the [[NAACP]] demanded immediate redress. For a brief while around 1920 militant black separatists gained strength. While blacks slowly improved their economic status in the South in the 20th century, despite lynchings, they remained second class citizens with very little political power. Blacks began moving in large numbers to the North to meet the labor shortages during World War I and World War II. By the 1950s they had a political base in Harlem (New York City) and Chicago, but still very little power. [[Jim Crow]] remained as strong as ever in the South, where white Democrats had near-total control.
