It is best known as the Cold War policy of the United States and its allies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.

Byrd, Sr. of Virginia on February 24, 1956, to unite other white politicians and leaders in Virginia in a campaign of new state laws and policies to prevent public school desegregation after the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. • "Separate but Equal"A legal doctrine in United States constitutional law that justified systems of segregation. Under this doctrine, services, facilities, and public accommodations were allowed to be separated by race, on the condition that the quality of each group's public facilities be equal. The phrase was derived from a Louisiana law from 1890. • 16th Street Baptist ChurchA church in Birmingham, Alabama, where on Sunday, September 15, 1963, four members of the Ku Klux Klan planted at least 15 sticks of dynamite attached to a timing device beneath the front steps.

Bill that enabled all former servicemen to receive $20 of unemployment benefits per week for 52 weeks/year while they were looking for work. • Adlai StevensonA U.S. politician, noted for his intellectual demeanor, eloquent oratory, and promotion of liberal causes in the Democratic Party, who served as the 31st governor of Illinois and was the Democratic nominee for president in 1952 and 1956. Eisenhower defeated him both times. He sought the Democratic presidential nomination for a third time in the 1960 election but was defeated by Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. • American Indian MovementAn American Indian advocacy group in the United States, founded in July 1968 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was initially formed to address American Indian sovereignty, treaty issues, spirituality, and leadership, while simultaneously addressing incidents of police harassment and racism against Native Americans forced to move away from reservations and tribal culture by the 1950s-era enforcement of the U.S. federal government-enforced Indian Termination Policies originally created in the 1930s. • Apollo ProgramA U.S. human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that landed the first humans on Earth's Moon in 1969–1972. Conceived during the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower, it began in earnest after President John Kennedy in a May 25, 1961 address to Congress proposed the national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s. • August RevolutionA revolution launched on August 14, 1945, by the Viet Minh (League for the Independence of Vietnam) against French colonial rule in Vietnam. • baby boomAny period marked by agreatly increased fertility rate.

GayleA case heard before a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama on Montgomery and Alabama state bus segregation laws.

Board of EducationA landmark 1954 case of the United States Supreme Court. The ruling explicitly outlawed segregated public education facilities, ruling so on the grounds that the doctrine of "separate but equal" public education could never truly provide black Americans with facilities of the same standards available to white Americans.

It is generally regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to turning into a nuclear conflict. • domino theoryA theory prominent from the 1950s to the 1980s, which speculated that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, the surrounding countries would follow, falling like dominos. Successive U.S. administrations used this line of thought during the Cold War to justify the need for U.S. intervention around the world. • Dwight D. EisenhowerThe 34th president of the United States (1953–1961. He was previously a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II, serving as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe.

VitaleThis 1962 Supreme Court case determined it was unconstitutional for state officials to compose an official school prayer and require its recitation in public schools, even when the prayer was non-denominational and students could excuse themselves from participation. • Everson v. Board of EducationThis 1947 Supreme Court case dealt with a New Jersey law that allowed government funds to be used for transportation to religious-oriented schools. Though the ruling was upheld, this was the first case in which the court applied the Establishment Clause to state law, having interpreted the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as applying the Bill of Rights to the states as well as the federal legislature. • Fifth Party SystemA term referring to the era of U.S. national politics that began with the New Deal in 1932 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This era emerged from the realignment of the voting blocs and interest groups supporting the Democratic Party into the New Deal Coalition following the Great Depression. For this reason it is also often called the New Deal Party System. It followed the Fourth Party System, usually called the Progressive Era. Experts debate whether it ended in the mid-1960s, early 1980s (when the Moral Majority took off), mid-1990s, or possibly continues to the present. • First Indochina WarWar fought between French forces and their Viet Minh opponents in French Indochina between 1946 and 1954, leading to the withdrawal of France and the entry of the United States into what would become the Vietnam War.

This resulted in his execution on charges of treason 2 years later. • Indian TerminationThe U.S. policy from the mid-1940s to mid-1960s based on the presumption that American Indians would be better off if assimilated as individuals into mainstream U.S. society. To that end, Congress proposed to end the special relationship between tribes and the federal government. In practical terms, the policy terminated the U.S. government's recognition of sovereignty of tribes, trusteeship of Indian reservations, and exclusion of Indians from state laws. • Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal AssistanceAn agreement signed on 1947 in Rio de Janeiro among many countries of the Americas, whose central principle was that an attack against one was to be considered an attack against them all; known as the "hemispheric defense" doctrine. • John F.

It was used in this form in an important legal ruling in the United States related to voting rights. Applying the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Court majority opinion in Reynolds v. Sims (1964) ruled that state legislatures needed to redistrict in order to have congressional districts with roughly equal representation of populations. The court also ruled that both houses of state legislatures needed to have representation based on districts containing roughly equal populations, with redistricting as needed after censuses. • Organization of American StatesAn intercontinental organization founded on April 30, 1948, for the purposes of regional solidarity and cooperation among its member states.

Later the term was applied to discrimination against a particular group of people (usually by race or sex) irrespective of geography. • Rosa ParksAn African American civil rights activist (1913–2005). On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, she refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger; an action that triggered the Montgomery bus boycott. • Selma to Montgomery marchesA series of three 1965 marches that were part of the voting rights movement underway in Selma, Alabama. By highlighting racial injustice in the south, they contributed to passage that year of the Voting Rights Act, a landmark federal achievement of the Civil Rights Movement. • Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO)An international organization for collective defense in Southeast Asia created by the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, or the Manila Pact.

The international oil and stagflation crises of the 1970s ended the boom that started following President Eisenhower's efforts to establish diplomatic relations with Franco's Spain, which ended the country's post-war isolation. • Sputnik IThe Soviet Union launched this first artificial earth satellite into an elliptical low Earth orbit on October 4, 1957. The surprise success precipitated the U.S. Sputnik crisis, began the Space Age, and triggered the Space Race, a part of the larger Cold War.

  50. Politics and Culture of Abundance: 1943–1960 SCLC Fundraising Poster Depicting Martin Luther King, Jr. Shortly after King's death, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference used this poster—issued in an edition of 100—for a fundraising drive. The portrait was based on a drawing by Ben Shahn, commissioned for Time magazine's March 19, 1965 cover. Time's publisher noted that Shahn, "as famed in his own medium of protest as King is in his," greatly admired the civil rights leader and felt that King had "moved more people by his oratory" than anyone else. After the artist's friend Stefan Martin made a wood engraving based on the drawing, Shahn authorized its use in support of various causes. This 1968 poster included two additions to the portrait: the orange seal or artist's "chop" that Shahn had made in Japan, incorporating the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and an excerpt from King's famous "mountaintop" speech in the artist's own distinctive lettering.
