The impact of the 1966 Chicago Freedom Movement on the decade’s civil rights struggles was as significant as any other campaign of that era. By bringing the freedom struggle to Chicago, where the Democratic Party machine was closely linked to the national party and the White House of President Lyndon Johnson, the movement raised the bar and gave the struggle for equality a national focus.\n\nIt was a time when thousands were on the move. Calling for an end to Jim Crow in public accommodations, they boycotted the city bus system in Montgomery, Alabama. They sat in at lunch counters across the South, demanding service.\n\nNational guardsmen and federal troops were protecting children who were breaking down the walls of segregated schools. Black and white teams of youth had gone south to challenge poll taxes and organize voter registration drives. “Whites Only” signs were being torn down.\n\nPeople from all walks of life were getting involved in the struggle to eliminate the legacies of slavery. Although the struggle took on many forms and covered diverse areas of the South, it came to be called simply the “movement.” To say someone or some organization was “part of the movement” was to say it all.\n\nMade up of many diverse groups, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), founded by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rev. Ralph Abernathy in the mid-1950s, sparked the imagination of civil rights supporters everywhere.\n\nAs its prestige grew far beyond its numbers, the SCLC and its leaders became the spark plug that ignited mass protests across the South, bringing the demands of the movement to the attention of the nation as scenes of snarling police dogs flashed on screens television.\n\nKing and Abernathy decided to bring the movement “up south” and the search for a place to begin brought them to Chicago. There they found the ingredients they were seeking: a substantial base of support among both white and Black ministers, a base of Black and white activists, steeled in struggles against racist hiring practices, police brutality and racial discrimination in housing and education.\n\nAs important as any other consideration, the struggle for equality enjoyed the support of important sections of organized labor – Region 4 of the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the Packinghouse Union, both led by African Americans.\n\nIn addition, many individual leaders and rank-and-file activists had long been associated with the civil rights movement. SCLC planners noted that Walter Reuther, the UAW president, walked arm in arm with King at the 1963 March on Washington. King and other SCLC leaders saw these as the essential elements of a successful campaign.\n\nThus was born the Chicago Freedom Movement (CFM), with King and Al Raby, a leader of Chicago’s Coordinating Committee of Community Organizations (CCCO), its co-chairs. CFM activities and policies were determined by an committee made up of representatives of the city’s diverse civil rights organizations.\n\nSCLC dispatched field staff to help lay the groundwork. In the spring of 1966, King, his wife and their children moved into an apartment on the west side of Chicago and the campaign of the summer of 1966, with its demand to end slums, began in earnest.\n\nRichard J. Daley, Chicago’s “shoot -to-kill” mayor, made known his displeasure that “outside troublemakers” were coming to “his” city and told all who would listen there were no slums in Chicago. He also declared that he would not meet with King, thus drawing a line in the sand.\n\nFor those who were to lead the summer campaign, these statements were ominous. The nation and the world were to soon learn what they already knew – that the likes of “Bull” Connor, Lester Maddox and George Wallace had their counterparts in the Richard J. Daleys of Chicago and other northern cities.\n\nDuring the summer of 1966 the movement staged a number of marches in white communities protesting housi

If it had not been for slavery, the civil rights movement would not have been necessary. \n\nThe purpose of the civil rights movement was to correct the damage done by slavery and 100 years of oppression that followed.

To yell about how "whitey" has ruined stuff as much as possible. That pretty much sums up the activities of the NAACP - the most racist organization on Earth.

the only thing i can think of is the Jim Crow laws\n\nthese were a collection of laws that stopped black people  from doing a lot of things - although it referred more towards segregation and stuff like that.\n\nBut it could easily have been the vehicle barring blacks from voting because  it barred them from doing a lot of other things. The Jim Crow laws were deemed unconstitutional only in 1964.

A few reasons:\n\n1.  1896 the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that segregation was legal so long as the facilities were "equal."\n\n2.  Lynchings were becoming more and more common at an alarming rate during this time period (until Ida B. Wells began her crusade to end lynchings.)\n\n3.  Jim Crow laws were being passed throughout the South in which all facilities were segregated for blacks and whites (schools, churches, mortuaries, cemetaries, swimming pools, entrances, movie theaters, etc...)\n\n4.  The second rise of the Ku Klux Klan began in 1915 and the Klan grew to 4 million members by the mid-1920s.\n\n5.  W.E.B. DuBois organized the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1906, thus giving a voice to address the wrongs leveled against African-Americans at this time\n\n\nThese are some valid reasons for focusing on racism during these years.

Slave owners in the south exercised even more control over their slaves because they were afraid of another uprising. \nIn the north, anti-slavery petitions were sent to Congress and, to appease the south, the Gag Rule was implemented.  That is, the petitions would be automatically tabled without being read.  All of served to widen the gap between north and south and fuel the fire.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Pub. L. No. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241 (July 2, 1964), in the United States was landmark legislation outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Originally conceived to protect the rights of black men, the bill was amended prior to passage to protect the civil rights of all men and women.\n\nThe Act transformed American society. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment. The "Jim Crow" laws in the South were abolished, and it became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring. Enforcement powers were initially weak, but they grew over the years, and later programs (such as affirmative action) were made possible by the Act.

slavery has impacted the u.s. by former slaves ancesters thinking they are still owed something today. affirmative action is the worst thing we as a country could've done and acknowledging a race which automatically singles one out from the american whole.  African American.  I don't call myself all my nationalities before american.  ex.  german, italian, irish american.  see what i mean.  then to have sepatory groups such as the naacp is bullshit.  african americans have it all going for them today but they're just to caught up in having to have the latest tommy shit (which who is as racist as the come) which shows the stupidity of race as a whole.  come on they recieve higher test scores and get reconized for acccomplishing less than the fellow american.  wake up america time to play cowboys and n........

Depends on the region of US.  The South was openly segregated through the '60's.  That's part of what the civil rights movement was about.
