    This article on Rosa Parks was conducted in 1996, many years after her role in the civil rights movement. She talks about her role in the movement and the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955. She also reflects on the changes in our country since that period in time. Mrs. Parks still believes that many things are still in need of change to become the great country that the United States could one day be. She says that more young children need to be exposed to what the civil rights movement was like. I chose to write about this article because Mrs. Parks had such a big influence in the civil rights movement and started the Montgomery bus boycott. December first is also the 55th anniversary of when Mrs. Parks refused to get out of her seat and started a revolution of organized resistance in the civil rights movement. What she did led to many other things such as, sit-ins, marches, and her action opened the civil rights movement up for more people to be a part of it. My opinion of this article is that it shows that there was more to the story of Rosa Parks than just a tired woman not willing to give up her seat on a bus. I found this article educational and inspiring, and it also shed a new light on the civil rights movement for me.

civil rights segregation

  • Carnegie and Bertram never insisted on desegregated libraries or that communities accept and maintain separate branches for blacks, but they did attempt to make communities clearly set their own policies, so they could act accordingly"(Carnegie 36).  "Carnegie and Betram tried to compute grant amounts according to the number of people permitted to use them"(Carnegie 32).  This created a complication in southern communities where libraries were segregated.  If the number of likely library users included blacks in the community, Carnegie wanted the assurance that blacks would be allowed to use the library.
  • At the ALA midwinter meeting of 1961 an amendment was made to the library bill of rights.  "The right of an individual to the use of a library should not be denied or abridged because of his race, religion national origins, or political views."  Although the ALA officially supported integration, many felt the ALA was too complicit in library segregation. 
  • Public libraries were sometimes battleground sites in the civil rights movement.

  • Nine Negro students of Tougaloo Christian College, near Jackson, Mississipi were fined $100 each and given 30-day suspended sentences on March 29 for participating in Missippi's first "study-in" at the city's main public library which is for whites only.  The nine students had been arrested when they went to library shortly before noon on Monday, March 27, and refused to leave when ordered out by police officers" (75).  "At the city jail the students said they had been unable to obtain materials they needed in libraries open to Negroes and had therefore gone to the main library"(75).

    The M.I. King Library has already preserved some oral histories pertaining to Lexington's black churches during the civil rights movement: Harry Sykes: "Sykes recalls church involvement in the civil rights marches in Lexington and discusses his chairmanship of the Commission on Religion and Human Rights in the early 1960s." Robert Jefferson: "He details the role of the African American church in the community and during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and discusses his rejection of the non-violent faction of the movement." Albert Lee: "Reverend Lee discusses the role of the church in the African American community and the effects of segregation in Lexington." etc. There are tons of relevant interviews to be explored, most conducted with reverends. I only see ONE interview conducted with a woman about churches and the civil rights movement, perhaps a hole we could fill?
