The Journey to Equal Rights in the US

Main topic: differences Subtopic: the journey to equal rights

Why have I chosen this topic?

I chose this topic because I have always wondered how we as civilians get something changed. I have seen Riots in TV and read and heard of revolutions but never really put those two together for some reason. It interests me how things are done and the extremes some take like Mohandas Ghandi and thought that it was extremely relevant to talk about the fight taking place in America

My presentation

1. The history of civil rights in the US

Civil war (proposition to war, north vs South)

Civil rights (13th amendment, Second amendment, founding fathers)

An essential part of politics in the US (President Lincoln)

KKK and NRA (fear lead to KKK, breakup followed by founding of NRA)

2. A history discriminating

Native Americans (mass murder, hunted, reservations)

African Americans (enslaved, lynched, hunted)

3. Black peoples rights and the treatment of them

Police with colored people ((15-34aged black men) 9x as high as white)

Jobs (less money, fewer jobs, harder climb to top)

Stereotypes (all good boiled to stereotypes)

4. How is progress coming to be (The case of John smith the cap driver)
