Kennedy in his acceptance speech in the 1960 United States presidential election to the Democratic National Convention at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the Democratic slogan to inspire America to support him. The phrase developed into a label for his administration's domestic and foreign programs. “We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier -— the frontier of 1960s, the frontier of unknown opportunities and perils, the frontier of unfilled hopes and unfilled threats. ... Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus.” -John F.

  30. Freedom Riders . . . In 1961, James Farmer orchestrated and led the famous Freedom Rides through the South, which are renowned for forcing Americans to confront segregation in bus terminals and on interstate buses. In the spring of that year, James Farmer trained a small group of freedom riders, teaching them to deal with the hostility they were likely to encounter using nonviolent resistance. This training would serve them well. . . . — Senator Charles Robb, “A Tribute to an American Freedom Fighter,” U.S. Senate The principal goal of the activity described in this statement was to (1) achieve racial integration of public facilities (2) encourage change through violent means (3) expand voting rights for African Americans (4) force the president to send military troops into the South

  31. Freedom Riders . . . In 1961, James Farmer orchestrated and led the famous Freedom Rides through the South, which are renowned for forcing Americans to confront segregation in bus terminals and on interstate buses. In the spring of that year, James Farmer trained a small group of freedom riders, teaching them to deal with the hostility they were likely to encounter using nonviolent resistance. This training would serve them well. . . . — Senator Charles Robb, “A Tribute to an American Freedom Fighter,” U.S. Senate The activities described in this statement helped lead to (1) President Harry Truman’s order to desegregate the military (2) passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (3) ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (4) a decision by the Supreme Court to integrate public schools

  32. Sit-ins Which action is the best example of the use of civil disobedience? (1) passing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (2) lobbying Congress to eliminate the poll tax (3) attending a political rally in Iowa (4) conducting sit-ins at restaurants in the South

  36. Civil Disobedience …You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may want to ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”… — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963 Which type of action against unjust laws is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. supporting in this passage? (1) militant resistance (2) civil disobedience (3) judicial activism (4) affirmative action

  38. Civil Disobedience . . . But the great glory of American democracy is the right to protest for right. My friends, don’t let anybody make us feel that we [are] to be compared in our actions with the Ku Klux Klan or with the White Citizens Council. There will be no crosses burned at any bus stops in Montgomery. There will be no white persons pulled out of their homes and taken out on some distant road and lynched for not cooperating. There will be nobody amid, among us who will stand up and defy the Constitution of this nation. We only assemble here because of our desire to see right exist. . . . — Martin Luther King, Jr., December 1955 Which statement most accurately summarizes the main idea of these quotations? (1) Revolution is inevitable in a democratic society. (2) Government consistently protects the freedom and dignity of all its citizens. (3) Violence is the most effective form of protest. (4) Civil disobedience is sometimes necessary to bring about change.

  39. Civil Rights Act of 1964 Conditions such as the one shown in the photograph were legally ended by the (1) issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 (2) ratification of the 15th amendment in 1870 (3) decision in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 (4) passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

  40.

  41. Civil Rights Act of 1964 Which event was a result of the other three? (1) sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters in Greensboro, North Carolina (2) Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington, D. C. (3) signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (4) bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama

  42. Civil Rights Act of 1964 . . .

In the spring of that year, James Farmer trained a small group of freedom riders, teaching them to deal with the hostility they were likely to encounter using nonviolent resistance. This training would serve them well. . . . — Senator Charles Robb, “A Tribute to an American Freedom Fighter,” U.S. Senate The activities described in this statement helped lead to (1) President Harry Truman’s order to desegregate the military (2) passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (3) ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (4) a decision by the Supreme Court to integrate public schools

  43. Civil Rights Act of 1964 The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was intended to end (1) loyalty oaths for federal employees (2) affirmative action programs in education (3) unfair treatment of the elderly (4) discrimination based on race or sex

  44. Voting Rights Act of 1965 So far this term has only appeared as a wrong answer choice in a multiple choice question. Voting Rights Act of 1965: A law that struck down restrictions to voting in all elections—Federal, State, and local—which have been used to deny Negroes the right to vote.…

  48. Great Society One way in which the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and the Great Society are similar is that these programs (1) promoted the idea of “rugged individualism” (2) increased government commitment to the well-being of the people (3) reduced the amount of money spent on domestic programs (4) encouraged the states to take a more active role in national defense

  49. Great Society The term Great Society was used by President Lyndon B. Johnson to describe his efforts to (1) lower taxes for all Americans (2) win the race for outer space (3) end poverty and discrimination in the United States (4) improve the nation’s armed forces

  50. Great Society One goal of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society was to (1) improve the quality of life for the poor (2) privatize many government programs (3) send additional troops to Vietnam (4) reduce the number of nuclear weapons
