Racism, School Desegregation Laws and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States
The African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955--1968) refers to the social movements in the United States aimed at outlawing racial discrimination against black Americans and restoring voting rights to them. This article covers the phase of the movement between 1955 and 1968, particularly in the South. The emergence of the Black Power Movement, which lasted roughly from 1966 to 1975, enlarged the aims of the Civil Rights Movement to include racial dignity, economic and political self-sufficiency, and freedom from oppression by white Americans.
The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. Between 1955 and 1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans. Forms of protest and/or civil disobedience included boycotts such as the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955--1956) in Alabama; sit-ins such as the influential Greensboro sit-ins (1960) in North Carolina; marches, such as the Selma to Montgomery marches (1965) in Alabama; and a wide range of other nonviolent activities.
Noted legislative achievements during this phase of the Civil Rights Movement were passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964, that banned discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin in employment practices and public accommodations; the Voting Rights Act of 1965, that restored and protected voting rights; the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965, that dramatically opened entry to the U.S. to immigrants other than traditional European groups; and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, that banned discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. African Americans re-entered politics in the South, and across the country young people were inspired to action.
Desegregation busing in the United States (also known as forced busing or simply busing) is the practice of assigning and transporting students to schools in such a manner as to redress prior racial segregation of schools, or to overcome the effects of residential segregation on local school demographics.
FL Torreya to Ocoee Watershed: 2. Wolf Creek, NC 2015
Thomas Mesko receives 43 Torreya taxifolia seeds from Connie Barlow, drawn from the 2014 harvest of Torreya Guardians. This video documents seeds being planted generally on north-facing slopes, between 1,600 and 1,800 feet elevation on Thomas's 50 acres of forested property along Wolf Creek, in the North Carolina section of the Ocoee Watershed.
The woolly adelgid insect is just beginning to infest the hemlock trees here. The hemlocks and White Pines in this area are near their southern-most range extent.
MARCH 2019 UPDATE: Four years later, Connie Barlow returned to the site and the original group of 3 planters walked the forest sites of their original plantings. Because no spring growth had greened up the forest floor at this time, we definitely would have spotted any Torreya seedling. Because no seedlings were observed, and because this batch of seeds (when planted in a protected zone) has been documented as greater than 50% germination, we can surmise that (a) rodent predation was total, and that had no seeds been eaten that at least 20 would have produced seedlings by this fourth year after planting. What we learned at this site (and others) is that Torreya taxifolia seeds must never be shallow-planted. Instead, they must always be planted no less than 3 inches deep. Visit our Seed-Planting Experiments webpage to learn more about what we have learned over the years about best practices for planting success.
More information on Torreya taxifolia rewilding and on the overall topic of assisted migration of forest trees during this century of rapid climate change is available at
