Western Governors University Civil Rights Movement & Racial Inequality Essay

 

You need to have a clear thesis statement that makes an argument. You cannot simply say “In this essay I will discuss the Second Red Scare.” You need to connect people and events to prove your thesis. You need a conclusion. While there is no set length for the essay, you need to cover the information and thoroughly explain. You need to prove your thesis. Don’t just give a list of people or events. You must explain who or what they were and how they are connected.

Will there is not a requirement for page length/word count, I would expect you to need at least 3-4 pages double-spaced to cover it/1000 words. Some people are very concise when they write, and others are not. I have had great essays that are 2 pages and horrible essays that are 10 pages long! Please make sure everything needs to be in your own words and use the information from the textbook – but do not just use quotes from the textbook or outside. Since it is creating analytical essays. Just need a thesis and evidence to support the thesis. Does it make sense?

Discuss the Civil Rights Movement.

In this essay, first look at the Secure These Rights and what it said about racial inequality. What was the segregated South like? Who were the Dixiecrats? Look at the efforts to desegregate schools – Brown v Board and the “Southern Manifesto.” Make sure you cover Emmett Till. Look at Little Rock. The fight to desegregate public spaces – sit-ins, bus boycott, Freedom Rides, etc. What was happening in Birmingham? Civil Rights Act of 1964? Look at the push toward the Voting Rights Act – Freedom Summer, Selma March etc. You will need to cover the major figures and groups involved in the movement. Voting Rights Act? Don’t just list names like Rosa Parks and MLK – connect them to specific events. Cover various organizations, like CORE, SCLC, SNNC. I would break this down into the fight against segregated schools, the fight against segregated public spaces, and the fight for voting rights
