We can't do this much homework for you. You are asking for a whole report which you will have to research and write for yourself.

Well, if you look at france in the late 1700s, Louis the xvi (16th) got his head sliced off because of his treatment to the commom people so that may a good indication on how people felt about monarchy even a hundred years prior. Many bad things lead up to a situation like that and it just doesn't happen over night. I am a history grad. and I could help you if need be. You can email me if you want.

When the king feels a disorder going on, he has the right to declare a state of emergency. That will clamp down on the violence and to restore order to the streets. The order will be strictly enforced; if anyone violates the order, they will be subject to arrest and imprisonment. Sufficient?

I live in new orleans.. And trust me.. at least one of the rapes were true.. \nI dont know the total deaths in the situation, but an easy google search can clear that answer.\nAs far as racism.\nI honestly think that the slow reactions of the country was not due to racism.\nThink about it.\nThe 9th ward, which is primarily African-American was totally flooded.. OK.. that seems maybe like racism.\nBut.. Lakeview, a higher class residency with Black and white people was totally flooded too.\nOver 11 Feet in some places!\n\nSo saying that they didnt do things because they want to black people out is crazy.\n\nDidnt "Willie" (Ray) Nagin say it was a Chocolate City..\nHAHAH\nlol

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."\n\nRacism was and is a continuing issue in the world today.  There is alot of hatred, and back in MLK's day, blacks did not have the same rights as whites.  They were not treated equally.  MLK fought for the civil rights movement, and wanted his word not only to be spread, but for people to also act.  I think what MLK meant by this quote is that you dont remember all the bad things and all the hatred shown by people.  But if his people were not going to stand up for their beliefs, it would be a losing battle.  He sacrified alot for all people of color, and he felt that people not willing to act at all was just as bad, or even worse, than people acting out of hatred.\n\nsorry i did not see this movie.  maybe this link can help\nhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0455052/\n\nomg, i just realized you were not talking about MLK!!!  lol

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

That all depends on what you regard as civil disobedience. His anti-war stance with Yoko Ono was well publicised but was non violent, they did not believe that violence was the answer and engaged in peaceful protests.  In that case, the only civil disobedience he displayed was a non-violent and non disruptive one

First of all, I think you mean 'determined.'   MLKJ stood up for his beliefs and morals, despite death threats, being arrested, and being beaten many times.  He stood up for racial equality and peaceful protest, and made such a significant contribution to our country as far as civil rights is concerned.

dr. king wanted equality in all aspects of life for all people. his fight was not only for "his race" but for all races. he wanted equal pay, equal opportunity, equal treatment..etc. all of the things promiced in the emancipation proclamation. he wanted his children and his children's children to not grow up with racism. he fought for freedom against persecution for everyone...women, children, men, blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, anyone in the united states.

History shows they do. \nEven Kings and Queens have bowed down\n\n\nAnother Example-the 60's had big time protests that did.

When it comes to issues like the war......some people really take offense on both sides, and there is occaisonal violence.\n\nRemember the civil rights struggle? People exercised their freedoms....and were attacked!\n\nThis is a free nation, and it's sad when there is a hazard while exercising freedom!

Martin Luther King Jr. for the True Vision God gave him of all people are created equal and we must stand up for our rights and die for them if need be.  We are all God's children and nothing more and nothing less.  Love your neighbor as yourself and treat people the way you want to be treated.  Love is the Key to Life!!! Thomas

Actually it is none of those...\n\nOn January 17, 2000, for the first time, Martin Luther King Day was officially observed in all 50 U.S. states.

I suppose you're talking about Martin Luther King JR.  He was a Baptist minister and activist who petitioned for equal rights for African Americans and other colored people.  He's probably most famous for his "I have a dream" speech which he gave on the Lincoln Memorial in front of thousands of African Americans.  He was assassinated on April 4th, 1968 at a hotel in Memphis.\n\nIf you're by some chance talking about Martin Luther King SR., he was also a civil right activist but I do not know much about him.

Dr. King was a very eloquent speaker.  As a figurehead, he did much to raise the opinion of African Americans in the eyes of others.

He's a hero man. He stood up to the Brits in South Africa and they put him in prison for close to 30 years as enemy to the country. He is Americas Martin Luther King to South Africa. He was a non-violent leader and the Brits feared him. When there was finally revolution, they freed him and he became leader of the Country. That's all I know.
