Language
• “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old
• “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some people
• “black people” and “blacks” is better, just as we say “white people” and “whites”
• Or “people of color” but then you are referring to everyone but white people

OPVL
Document Analysis skill #3
• Origin• Purpose• Value • Limitation
![Page 3: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
OriginSource: List with the author, title, date, then mention the
form
All sources are either:• Primary – letter, journal, interview, speeches, cartoon,
poster – any works where author is basically speaking in first person
• Secondary – published works – can even include a compilation of primary documents. Usually peer reviewed, and after the fact.
• Must determine the source so can address the purpose
![Page 4: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Purpose
Look at the source
• What is the intent? and/or • Determine the audience (especially if primary)
to whom addressed?
What does the author want to happen because of this document? What purpose does it serve?
It could be political, scientific, personal, etc
![Page 5: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Value
• What do I learn from this document?• Why should I trust it?• How would I use it if I was a historian?• Does the author or form of the document or
the audience make this relevant or useful?
• This is done with reference to the value and purpose
![Page 6: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do DuBois and Washington
• Differ
• Compare?
• With respect to the rights of blacks?
![Page 7: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Washington
• Acceptance of the social realities of segregation
• “Cast down your bucket”—work with what you have (dignity of farming)
• Show usefulness white acceptance• And then “mutual progress”• Belief in self-help to show black people can
take care of their stuff
![Page 8: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Does OPVL
• Help us understand how to evaluate these authors?
• For instance: who’s right?
• Start with limitations
![Page 9: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Limitation• Why can’t I rely solely on this document?• What doesn’t it tell me?• What else would I have to read in order to fully
understand the issue or event this discusses?• Would author, form, or audience skew what’s
stated in the document?
• Again, this is done with respect to the origin and purpose
![Page 10: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ethics of Living Jim Crow• In groups of three, do the following:• Person #1—describe one of the stories that most affected
you, and explain why• Person #2—comment on that story and then discuss yours• Person #3—comment on either person 1 or 2’s story, and
then discuss yours• Then, as a team, explain—what does it mean to “live Jim
Crow”- and does that affect which of the two (Washington, Du Bois) you think had the right strategy for gaining equality?
![Page 11: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Garveyism—a 3rd way?
• Looking at the Garvey’s own words, what is his strategy for black equality?
• Why would we expect this to occur in the 1920s? Examine the other documents to develop your answer.

Main Thought Question: Why will the Civil Rights Movement begin in
the 1950s?• This is a context question—as in, why now?• How would you use the text to answer it?
• Take a look at pages 836-841– Check for key points and ideas– Intro, first sentences (and last) of each paragraph, bold-faced type, pictures and
graphs
![Page 14: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

What is the importance of the Brown decision?
• How did you “ID” it?
• We discussed why it was a good strategy.
• So, what was its weakness—a major structural flaw with its strategy of getting a Supreme Court ruling for desegregation?
![Page 18: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

OPVL practice: Birmingham Letter
• This is a graded activity• With respect to the origin and purpose,
explain the value and limitation of the Birmingham Letter to an historian studying the Civil Rights Movement
• You have five minutes• Get started as you walk in and sit down
![Page 20: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Letter from a Birmingham Jail
• Though written in 1963, it looks back to summarize the movement.
• What is the strategy that lay behind the Civ Rights Movement?
• Is there a weakness to the strategy
![Page 21: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Assessment: Analyze and Assess the strategy and success of the Civil Rights Movement from 1954-1965
Steps: Do Steps 1 - 3 with a partner
1. Figure out the main theme that describes the overall strategy of the movement
2. Decide on visual symbols to represent the listed events
3. Find similar groupings of events that you might place together and explain why they are directly connected—that is, how they illustrate the supporting ideas.
In other words, show the relationship of each group of events to each other in a way that supports the main theme or idea you want to discuss in relation to the Civil Rights Movement.
You will be evaluating the success of the movement. To answer that, consider the movement’s goals, first, then address the degree to which they succeeded.
![Page 22: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Events to be included: Brown V Board of EducationLittle Rock, ArkansasMontgomery Bus BoycottGreensboro, etc Sit-InsFreedom RidesAlbany Movement vs BirminghamMarch on WashingtonMississippi Freedom SummerVoting Rights Act of 1865
These should all have ID’ed already.
4. Finally, as individuals, write a one-page analysis that explains and summarizes your mind-map
![Page 23: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ten Minute Activity:
How do the Mississippi Freedom Summer and the origins of the Voting Rights Act fit into our story?
How do they differ?
Do a comparison and contrast of these two events with any of the previous civil rights movement actions.
![Page 24: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Theme question—how does the civil rights movement change
during the 1960s?
• The context—what is happening, in general, during the 1960s?
• Conversely, why would the CRM be seen to encompass the years from 1954-1965?
![Page 25: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If Time:
Read intro on page 868—key points?
Skim next six pages
Read conclusion on page 873
-what is the context for the mid-1960s’ era Civil Rights Movement?
![Page 26: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What is the problem?
• Compare Kerner Report to Black Panther Party Platform.
• How do these documents relate to each other?
• What is the connection between them?• Or—what is the problem that must be
addressed, and how will this change the direction of the Movement?
![Page 27: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What about MLK?
• Compare and contrast the text of the “I Have a Dream” speech to the excerpt from “Beyond Vietnam.”
• What has changed by the mid-1960s?
![Page 28: Language “colored people” and “negro” are not socially acceptable terms, unless you are 90 years old “African-Americans” is ok but clumsy and annoys some](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cee5503460f949bc140/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How do we evaluate the success of the new direction in the Civil Rights Movement?
George Wallace and the election of 1968
Is there a coherent philosophy here?
Jules Pfeiffer cartoon on page 893 of Created Equal
Or - who votes for Wallace?
