Attitudes

Since 1942, there has been an increase in two particular issues that evolve in racial equality. In these two different proclamations it gives a great deal to what was happening during this era. One is the handling of blacks to ensure equality, which was favored by the white community. Secondly, the differences between southerners and non-southerners. These two issues were observed by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC). They made questions that plotted five main topics that targeted blacks at the time. Those five things that affected racial equality and tracked during the years of (1965-1980) is year, region, cohort, and education.^[1]. Many educational systems in the south and non-southern areas were in favor to segregated educational institutions among blacks. Also they didn't want blacks near their neighborhood, nor have interracial marriages to happen.^[2]

School Desegregation

There is still racism going on today. There's been struggles for freedom and equality, and mostly it affected the school board during the time of desegregation. That was Brown vs. Board of Education.^[3]

African American Society

There was a certain Civil Rights group that came together to fight over the corruption and segregation. They didn't fought physically, but fought in a nonviolent manner. Creating a well known group named Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) that grew well after the 1950s. It was established in 1942. It all began by James Farmer who later becomes leader of the group and a civil rights activist, in 1941. He went back to his " Native South". He went to a local movie theater to where he came upon the "crow's nest". The area was reserved only for Negroes. He opposed the Jim Crow's laws. He realized that his friends and himself supported those laws by what they did in their daily actions. He soon wrote a memo and summoned for the formation of a group of individuals that were powerful from mind and body to be able to take personal nonviolent actions to end discrimination.

WHAT THEY FOUGHT FOR?

-In the South:

Desegregation
Voter Registration

-In the North:

Better Jobs
Better housing
School Integration

Also, due to the commitment and sacrifice of the individuals in the group. Many started to notice the efforts of the group. They supported them and started the Freedom Rides. CORE was more involved in the Black Power movement around the mid-1960s. Then things shifted to integration and nonviolent actions toward the organization of communities, the separation of the people, and Black Power. Also as whites and blacks started to work together to fight over the dilemmas of segregation, white liberals didn't fond of the idea that they were working together. CORE's issues changed over time, so they worked in different actions that would pop up.

In the 1970s, focused on Black Power and Aptitude.
In the 1980s, on equal Opportunity
In the 1990s, on community development.

As of now, Congress of Racial Equality is devoted to Equality and Nonviolence. ^[4] Ameji054 (talk) 01:33, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Laws & Racial Equality in Education

As of now, the Supreme Court puts attention to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Amendment has been confirmed ever since, July 9,1968. It prohibits states from opposing any person's "life, liberty or property, without law coming forward on the individual" or to "deny to any person within its authority the equal protection of the laws.” Also this Amendment has been used in most legal cases than any other Amendment, due to civil rights. And it has been used mostly because of that issue.^[5] Ameji054 (talk) 16:02, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
