SUBJECT: Civil Rights Era 1945-1975
"Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either."
Jesse Owens
The Cold War was in full "heat" and the nation was just learning what it felt like to be free from the struggles of war (WWII and Korea)...only to be embroiled in another "war"...the Civil Rights Movement!
We ended slavery in 1865 with the 13th Amendment.
Our Congress then passed the 14th Amendment, promising to allow any naturalized or born person to be recognized as a citizen of America.
Only to follow up with the 15th Amendment, ensuring any male citizen the right to vote - regardless of color!
Too bad so many still held to archaic prejudices and never ending biases.
The Civil War had ended in 1865.
But it took another hundred years to teach the nation what freeing the slaves meant - universal acceptance of people of different race.
