Videotape of Martin's "I Have a Dream" Speech

Passes the message for Civil Rights to other Southerners, and the movement for ending segregation.

His strong voice, word choice, repetition, and symbolism in his words, while including all the states that treated blacks poorly, got Southerners' attention, and changed some of their minds.

This poster passed the message of how people feel segregation and police brutality against blacks in the South.

March on Washington Poster

March on Washington Newspaper

In the March on Washington, Martin gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. He had an original speech planned, but someone shouted, "tell them about the dream!" So he did, and it inspired many spectators in the battle for Civil Rights.

State Trooper Hat

Selma March Sign

It showed who was attempting to stop the marchers from getting to the state capital of Montgomery. It also showed the determination of the marchers to keep marching while State troopers attacked them.

This poster replicates and emphasizes how the marchers felt about racial and voting equality. Its punctuation also shows how they feel about segregation.

The Selma Marches were a great example of a long struggle for black voting rights. Here, a monumental event took place at the Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 7, 1965.

On March 7, 1965, 25-year-old activist John Lewis and over 600 marchers were brutally attacked by oncoming state troopers. It symbolized the momentous changes taking place in Alabama, America, and the world.

Malcolm X Autobiography

Black-owned Bookstore Flyer

This is from a black-owned bookstore, a good example of "black power" through nonviolence. Malcolm's autobiography inspired this.

Just like MLK, Malcolm had enough of segregation, but he thought Martin's nonviolent protests were ineffective. So he became the leader of the Nation of Islam after learning that they wanted a new community away from the Whites. After almost unending violence on whites, he realized that "a white man can't stop being white" and started using nonviolence also. He was assassinated by a member of the Nation of Islam in 1964.

Inspired black activists that violent, and nonviolent protests can have great impacts. It was made when Malcolm X also considered nonviolent protests and became a conventional Muslm.

The “fist in the air” symbol was used by the Black Panthers as an anti-racism symbol. It, when linked to Black Power and anti-racist struggles, has also been called the Black Power salute or Black Power FIst.
