Period 1 CRAMBO - in 25 minutes
//When **Dr. King took the mic in front of Abe Lincoln**,// //He spoke of a **Dream** -what everyone was thinkin'.// //Black and white working together to **let freedom ring**,// //without a violent blow or a punch's sting.//

//The **March** led to an **Act that granted all Civil Rights**,// //so that equality seemed to be in everyone's sights.// //But America still strugged to get freedom provided// //and the movement that had flowed was becoming divided.//

** Freedom Summer ** Blacks couldn’t vote, and I can see why Whites beatin’ ‘em up and makin’ em cry The SNCC decided to help the nation By increasin’ black voter registration

Their plan was simple; endorse black suffrage They added whites to their plan to increase the coverage But a step was missed, southern whites weren’t just chillin’ The racists came and resisted by beatin’ and killin’

** Selma ** 3-7 people march the 54, to Montgomery to get what they were lookin for They meet the troopers who are stationed there; the result is the blood and gore (heeeeeey) Bloody Sunday is the name they were lookin for, the march is down but not totally out MLK and the marchers try again, they're driven back but don't go lie and pout 8-25 the marchers make the capitol to get those votes promised for the rich and poor The act is passed and their votes became secure, all because of what we were lokkin for.

** Malcolm X ** Believed in black power and separation Didn't favor non violence and integration The Nation of Islam was anti integration and anti NACP He didn't agree with the Congress of Racial Equality Started getting swayed from politics and leaders got mad 1964 left Elijah Muhammad and was done with being bad Went to Mecca and it altered his views Assassinated in 1965 and it became national news Soon he started getting swayed and leaders got mad

** Chicago Freedom Movement ** The Watts riots of summer 1965 showed that in Chicago we had to make an improvement Martin Luther King and SCLC go to Chicago to get to try to improve housing, using a non-violent movement. Soon angry white mobs attacked protesters, so a summit was called to stop unequal treatment. It did little, fights broke out, and King left Chicago with a failed appeasement.

** Race Riots ** Wanting to prevent segregation They fought for integration. They fought with King to be free So whites and African Americans can all live equally In all cities around the nation They were race riots because of segregation To the utter disappointment of many committees The violence and the burning of many cities

** The Black Panther Party ** One day Huey Newton and Bobby Seale Decided to help the blacks without a meal They created a group called the BPP They started it up in Oakland, Cali

They armed themselves, got ready to fight The FBI wouldn’t let them out of their sight The white community, they did scare To destroy the party, officials did swear

They finished the party with violence and fear With murder and laws the whites did cheer The rest of the party was sent to jail And that was the end of the BPP’s tale

** The Poor People's Campaign **

One of every seven Americans at the time were poor MLK created the Poor People's Campaign and opened up the door He set out to lessen poverty in urban ghettos Because he had seen that life there blows

He wanted it to be the largest protest movement in the sixties To get all of the homeless out of their alleys They targeted Government and private business The protest looked like a wave of blackness

We don’t have much but we still have pride We hangin tuff and we taken big strides We are tough and ready Keep your mind and thoughts steady

Fighting our fight with peace Long time ive been on a leash Time to fight back Ways of peace bring ways of way back

Our Power is restricted I don’t know what happened maybe the whites have gotten addicted To beaten us down like mike Tyson Now guess what we are throwin in our dices

We are nonviolent groups Don’t know what to do with ll these troops They runnin out of gas We are using our group of mass

Thousands of people Prayin at the steeple…… (not finished)
