  2. Contexts • Aim for: • a date • a statistic • a quote • and a statement to indicate what has changed if this is relevant e.g. “In the years after 1945, African Americans began to fight for their civil rights” OR “However in the years after the First World War there was increased hostility towards immigrants.”

  3. Organisations paragraph • This was far too descriptive – essays simply described the protest. • Ok to give some details of the protest but aim to be more analytical and less descriptive. • Aim for points such as: The SCLC helped in the growing demand for Civil Rights because they joined with other organisations and trained their activists in the principles of non-violent protest. This combined effort gained maximum publicity for the cause.

  4. KING – HE DESERVES MORE! • Essays don’t do him justice!

  5. King historiography • This has the potential to really boost your analysis grade into the 8-10/10 yet we seem a bit shy! • Use the fancy language • Make sure you get it right – recent historiography has “challenged the King-centric scholarship”, not argued in its favour. • Write as if you have insight that only you and Clayborne Carson share!

  6. CONTINUING Discrimination paragraph • Too much focus on KU – some people have described the Till case, the bus boycott, the 1954 decision (?!) and the 1957 Little Rock protest! • Ask yourself, “WHAT IS THE CONTINUING DISCRIMINATION HERE?” (KU) • Till murder and failure to punish his killers • Parks’ arrest • The fact that despite the 1954 ruling, schools remained segregated in the years afterwards • What was the reaction to this? (Analysis) • Negative feelings of anger, frustration, horror etc. • Positive feelings after Little Rock that peaceful protest could force the Federal Government to act

  7. CONTINUING Discrimination paragraph • Use Mamie Till’s quotes much more effectively (“this shows…”) • Mamie Till said of her son, “He was a little nobody who shook the world” which shows that she believed his death had led to greater calls for civil rights throughout the world as a result of the international media coverage of his murder and the acquittal of his murderers. • Link “People stood up who had never stood up before” to Rosa Parks (Aug 1955 - Dec 1955) – was she inspired?

  8. CONTINUING Discrimination paragraph • Too much focus on KU – some people have described the Till case, the bus boycott, the 1954 decision (?!) and the 1957 Little Rock protest! • Ask yourself, “WHAT IS THE CONTINUING DISCRIMINATION HERE?” (KU) • Till murder and failure to punish his killers • Parks’ arrest • The fact that despite the 1954 ruling, schools remained segregated in the years afterwards • What was the reaction to this? (Analysis) • Negative feelings of anger, frustration, horror etc. • Positive feelings after Little Rock that peaceful protest could force the Federal Government to act
