Once you are completed with reading the documents, type up answers to the following questions in a Microsoft Word document and submit it to this link. Each individual answer should be a
paragraph of approximately 150-300 words. Make sure to use specific examples from the documents themselves in your answers:
1. Based on these documents, compare and contrast the views of the various elements of the African American Civil Rights Movement. Advocates such as Washington or Garvey had very
different strategies compared to drivers like DuBois. Explain how the various parts of the civil rights movement differed from each, yet focused on the same goal.
2. With the "School Begins" cartoon, Hiram Evans, and Barry Goldwater, we see some of the opposition to Civil Rights over the first half of the 20th century. What were some of the opponent's
arguments? What were they based on, and do those opinions have merit in the face of the examples shown by the documents by Isa B. Wells, Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, A. Philip Randolph,
and the Mississippi Colored Farmer's Alliance?
3. Explain, based on these documents, how African American life differed from mainstream America in the first half of the 20th century due to a lack of civil rights.
4. Focus specifically on two documents: MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail and Alain Locke's "The New Negro (Chapter 22 document). Briefly summarize the two. Based on their content, how
have things changed for African Americans between 1925 and 1963? What has not really changed?
