Tuesday 6/9:
I Can: Evaluate the types of resistance used during the Civil Rights Movement.
Historical Background:
During the Civil Rights Movement, two distinct philosophies of resistance emerged. One was nonviolent resistance and the other was one of militant action.
There were many groups that embodied the Nonviolent Protest Movement such as The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE).
The Black Panther Party (BPP, originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense), Deacons for Defense and Justice, and the Nation of Islam (NOI) were groups that aligned more with black nationalism and were more militant in their policies to achieve the end of racial discrimination.
Both types of groups advocated and fought for the enfranchisement and equal rights of African Americans, yet both believed in different ways of achieving this goal.
