Throughout the first half of the 20th century, African-Americans and their allies had pushed back against Jim Crow segregation in the South and unfair treatment of blacks all around the nation, but with only limited success. However, as you’ve seen in lectures and your reading, during and after World War II the movement began to make much more rapid progress, as with the 1954 Supreme Court Brown ruling and the 1964 and 1965 Civil Rights Acts. These changes were so important that it can be tempting to conclude that the post-war progress in Civil Rights was primarily the result of powerful top-down forces: that is, that the Supreme Court or President Johnson and the Congress drove these changes. However, in Hollitz Chapter 10 you can also see the important influence of bottom-up forces at work as everyday Americans took actions to achieve progress on Civil Rights. Likewise, in Hollitz Chapter 8 you saw how Blacks and Latinos in some ways fought back against racism and mistreatment in World War II. Drawing on your close reading and use of both the secondary and primary sources in Hollitz Chapters 10 and 8, develop an insightful thesis and argument responding to this question: How important were bottom-up factors in driving the post-WWII Civil Rights movement?
Introduction This essay looks at how bottom-up factors played a big role in pushing the Civil Rights movement forward after World War II. For ...
