1. How did segregation manifest itself in daily life in the South? (What was life like for
African Americans living in the south?)

2. How did segregation disenfranchise black Americans?

3. What did the Brown vs. Board of Education case decide? What impact will this have on
segregation laws?

4. Why do you think the lynching of Emmett Till became a catalyst in the national
movement for civil rights?

1.  Being black in the south was very hard especially in the early days of Jim Crow. Lynchings were not uncommon, and violence towards black people was constant. It broke down black people emotionally and physically. Black people couldn't go to better schools, they couldn't go to libraries, and they were pushed away from any public place because of there skin.

2. Segregation disenfranchised black peoples right to vote. There was a huge scheme from the racist democratic party against black voters. Black people almost always voted republican because they valued small government and individual freedom. Democrats would never win because of the black vote in many states. This lead to many Democratic leaders to ban the black vote. This lead to the democratic party almost destroying the republican party. This lead black people to feel that they werent as american as everyone else.

3. The brown vs board education case was a unananimous decision to get rid of segregation in schools as it was unconstitutional, and completely unfair towards balck people trying to get a better education. This had a major impact on segregation laws because now people were looking at the unjustices done to the black community, and made lots of people siding with black people instead of the racist laws in the south.

4. This lynching became a major thing in the civil rights movement because how severe the case was. Emmet Till was horrifically beaten for apparently whistling at a white girl walking into a market. This became such a huge piece of the civil rights movement because even white people living in the south that had mixed emotions about the civil rights movement where horrified to see what a bunch of men did to a young boy. If it wasn't for the brave parents doing an open casket during Emmets funeral people wouldn't have seen the cruelty that a young innocent black kid had to endure. This showed the injustices black people had to endure during this time.
