American Black History
Pros.
The violence taking place because of demands by colored people for equal rights changed many whites views on the blacks. These fights for equal rights not only revealed the determination of the African Americans but introduced many important figures to support the cause. Just with all this fighting for equal rights, more African Americans began to migrate, slavery was changed, for no longer were they held against there will. Not only did slavery change though, this time in history changed the society for the better. Looking at now, society looks back at the great tragedies of black history in remembrance of the hard struggles, pain, and the suffering the African Americans endured to achieve freedom. Therefore, we now as a nation celebrate Black History Month to honor those who stood up for there race and the whites who took a stand for what was right.
Cons.
Many blacks were enslaved and treated harshly, all because they were seen as different. They were seen differently because of the color of their skin. The whites thought they were better that the African Americans, so they did whatever they wanted whether it was harsh treatment or not. After so long, the Africans began to rebel. They had marches, boycots, and public speeches, trying to gain equal rights. With all the outbreaks toward the whites, military patrons, and citizens, government people began to take command and force out all African Americans. Marches and petitions were started in order to try to convince that Africans are also people, just people of color. Most Africans were harshly abused, many lost their lives, and government had to organize units to stop the outrage, taking up much of the nations time. The whites became outraged and began to attack the African Americans showing that they would never give them equal rights like a white citizen. Jail cells were filled, crime rates rose, and whites were slowly running out of ideas top stop the madness that had been caused.

Supporters/Helpers.
Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out for justice to African Americans, for an end to racial discrimination, and against the laws that embodied it and the many subtle and unconscious behaviors and assumptions that were supported by those laws. Racial discrimination in the USA had resulted in countless unnecessary and unjust deaths, and the despair and hopelessness of generations. He also was a great person because what he did for us made a huge difference in America. Rosa Parks is an extraordinary person because she stood up against racism and stood up for herself. It was even harder for her because she is a woman, and in those days, things were much harder for woman. Rosa Parks hated the ways of her life. She had always dreamed of having freedom in her life. As she grew up, she went through different experiences that gave her courage and strength. One day, Rosa Parks had so much courage and strength that when her bus arrived to pick her up, she got on the bus, put her money in the slot, and sat in the front of the bus. Black people were supposed to sit in the back. The bus driver told her to move to the back, but she just sat there and refused to move. The driver called the police and they arrested Rosa Parks. The next day, Raymond Parks went to pick up Rosa from jail. When they got home, Rosa spoke about her time in jail. She had stood up to get a drink of water and the guard told her the drinking fountain was only for white people. This made her furious. On December 5, 1955 Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr. and JoAnn Robinson looked out of their windows, and stood on street corners watching all of the yellow buses drive by. There were hardly any black riders since Rosa
