The 16th and 17th centuries. This was the period of European exploration and imperialism, during which Europeans were brought into contact with many physically different, less technologically advanced peoples. Labor was degraded, humanity was despised, the theory of "race"arose. There came a new doctrine of universal Labor: mankind were of two sorts-the superior and the inferior; there inferior toiled for the superior; and the superior were the real men, the inferior half men out less. The white people had the right to live upon the Labor and poverty of colored peoples of the world. In order to establish the righteousness of this point of view, science and religion, government and industry, were wheeling into line. The word "Negro"was used for the first time in the world's history to tie color to race and blackness to slavery and degradation.

It occurs when laws attempt to legitimize differential racial treatment, took a new form after slavery in the United States was abolished. During the reconstruction period and almost to the end of the19th century, southern blacks generally had greater access to stores, restaurants, public transportation, bars, and theaters than in the first half of the 20th century. Example of Institutionalised Racism is the High School drop out rate amongst rich whites and poor blacks.

1896. The U.S. supreme Court ruling upheld the "seperate but equal" railroad accommodations for blacks and whites.

The segregation laws, mostly of20th century vintage, reflected racist attitudes that remained strong throughout the South decades after slavery had ended. The South. For the first six decades of the20th Century.

Few segregationist laws existed. Jim Crow Laws and poor economic conditions were the major push factor for moving north and promises of better wages, education, and political freedom. The war was under way with Europe and Northern industry was reaping the benefits. The large number of immigrant Labor was dwindling.

originally organized in the south during Reconstruction, primarily to intimidate blacks so they could would not exercise their new political rights, the Ku Klux Klan reorganized in the 20th century with a broader range of target groups. In 1915, William J. Simmons resurrected the movement. Art first, the Klan concentrated on maintaining white supremacy by intimidating white employers as well as black workers and potential voters. As the Klan spread northward, its racist orientation broadened into a more general nationalism and nativism. The Klan thus evolved into a multixenophobic organization in which southern and eastern European Catholics and Jews, as well as blacks, were seen as a threat to the nations character. No they are were ever racial strife occurs, its members come to sermonize, recruit, and stir up trouble.

Rosa Parks in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, a tired black seamstress on her way home from work, found the seats in the black section of the bus all occupied and so sat down in an open seat in the section reserved for whites; when she refused the bus drivers demand that she relinquish the seat, she was arrested. Through organization efforts of Main Luther King Jr., the black community staged a successful bus boycott in protest. For months later, the NAACP argued the case in the Federal District Court, which ruled against segregated seating on municipal buses and the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision. In 1955 Emmett Till was an African-American boy who was murdered in Mississippi at the age of 14 after reportedly flirting with a white woman Till's murder is noted as a pivotal event motivating the African-American Civil Rights Movement.

Here the states defiance of the supreme Court could not be ignored because the governor called the national guard to forcibly block implementation of a federal Court order to integrate the high school. President Eisenhower, who had personally opposed the1954 ruling, acted decisively by federalizing the National Guard and sending regular army troops to Little Rock to ensure compliance.

Many civil rights activists came to doubt three first and deny three second. Civil Right movement grew and the success pig sit-ins convinced many people that direct action was a quicker and more effective means pig achieving total desegregation than protracted Court battles.

It prohibited racial discrimination and refusal of service on racial grounds in all places of public accommodation, including eating and lodging establishments and places of entertainment, recreation, and service.

Stokely Carmichael, the Herzog SNCC, advanced the slogan "Black Power"- a declaration that civil rights goals could be achieved only through concerted black efforts. It symbolized the attainment of what Kurt Lewin called a "sense of peoplehood"and what Franklin Giddings identified as a "consciousness of kind"

It concluded that, although specific grievances varied somewhat from city to city, there were consistent patterns in who the rioters were, how the riots originated, and what the rioters wanted. The most intense casual factors were police practices, unemployment and underemployment, and inadequate housing.
