    The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) field workers came to Albany, Georgia to educate the local African-American community about their voting rights. Most of the field workers were less than twenty-two years. They distrusted bureaucracy and structure while supporting spontaneity and improvisation. (Out of Many, 28.2.3; SNCC and the Beloved Community) One potential difficulty that these young field workers may have encountered is on how to work with older people in the African American Southern Community that also have their own agenda. As stated in the documents, they have to work together with representatives from many different organizations. These groups have to be willing to lose a part of their identity to cooperate under…

    The NAACP was founded in 1909 by a group of not only black but also white citizens. The interest group formed was in New York to help citizens fight for political, educational, social, and economical equality for African Americans. Prior to the Civil Rights Movement, the Republican Party saw separate but equal as fair and the Republican Party was molded by a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant male perspective. The Republicans see the NAACP as a threat and a black activist group with an agenda. In 2005, party leader Ken Mehlman made headlines with a speech to NAACP members apologizing for his party 's history of using racial divisions in appealing for white votes (Thompson, 2009). The current Republican National Committee Chairman is an African American man named Michael S. Steele. Steele was a part of the campaign called the “Freedom Tour”, which was an attempt to build a relationship between black voters and the GOP. Steele challenged the NAACP to join him on his "Freedom Tour," which he described as a conversation he is to have with predominantly black communities to discuss issues such as poverty and entrepreneurship (Thompson, 2009).The Democratic party being predominately black welcomed the NAACP. The Democratic Party partners with the NAACP on many…

    The interview by Dr. Veronique Thompson really moved and touched me. She really hit home and it was very informative about the African American community. There are a lot of truth and reality that she spoke during the interview. For example, when she touched on the names that we were once given as a race: Negro, colored, Black and African American. However, my mother never allowed us to use the word nigga, she always told us that the word came from a white group stemming from prejudice. She also informed us that the word negro/nigga caused a lot of pain and hurt to our ancestors because many of our ancestors, were killed, beaten and lynched. In addition to that, I never heard my father say the word Negro/Nigga, the only word he uses is Black…

    The NAACP is an African American civil rights organization in the U.S. Their mission is “to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination” (NAACP, 1). Its attorneys were very active, at first behind the scenes then after Title VII was enacted, they took very important cases to the U.S. Supreme Court. In their pursuit of economic justice and to bring awareness to the masses, they addressed the issue of employment discrimination. The NAACP was involved in the landmark case, Griggs vs. Duke Power, a disparate impact case. Duke Power had a history of segregating employees by race and the best jobs were reserved for whites. African Americans were consigned to the labor department, where the worker making the most wages earned less than the lowest paid employee in other departments where only whites worked. Just after Congress passed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made it illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of race, Duke Power ceased to specifically single out African Americans to the labor department and introduced new policies around hiring, promotion and transferring employees. In order to work in positions outside of the labor department, Duke Power required a high school diploma or scores on standardized IQ tests to be equal…
