We Shall Overcome - 5 views

    In the south, even if you were white, but supported non-violent,civil, change, people would use that against you, as with the ministers, one of whom was fatally beaten with a club. LBJ said in his speech, "There is no Negro problem. There is no Southern prob.em. There is no Northern problem. Only an American problem." He was right.

    1) This website gave me more information on what happened in Selma. I found out that when African Americans tried to vote they were brutally hurt. They got injured just because they wanted to vote and have the rights just like any other american citizen. Something else I learned was that was happened in Selma was called "Bloody Sunday." This name just tells you that people got hurt.

    2) This website connects back to President Johnson's sppech because it says how he made a law that African Americans were able to vote. This also connects back to his speech because the article talks about what happened in Selma likt the presidents speech did.

    I thought this was a really great article to use because it was filled with details and happenings of the bloody Sunday and the voting rights acts. This really gave me a clear understanding.Yes there are many parts that connect to LBJ's speech. there were good pictures too. i thought a lot of them could give people a better understanding.

    There were some really shocking statistics in this article like the one that said that out of 150.000 blacks in the county, only 335 were allowed to register to vote in 1945. I can't believe that Americans would treat each other like that on a good day. It's sickening.

    This article talks about President LBJ when it says, "President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law." Also it makes a direct reference to his speech, "The events in Selma sparked outrage. President Johnson went on TV to say that all Americans should adopt the cause of Selma's blacks." I found out that the group of black people were protesting for right to vote at Selma, Alabama, and that is why the state troopers started to beat them with "tear gas, nightsticks, and whips" The article that I found only said that there was a protest that caused the troopers to attack them, but I really liked how this one went into detail about what went on and exactly why.

    I found it interesting how much tear gas was used to target the blacks. A resident said that he couldn't see the crowd of people being beaten. I was surprised by one of the marchers becoming a congressmen even though he was beaten by the country he now works for. I found this article to be the most in depth on the beating.

    Your post was really good! It horrors me how bad the blacks were treated! I thought it was a very decent article!
