Freedom For African Americans

Improved Essays
Freedom is something that must be repeatedly won by a group of people. It cannot be won all at once.
For one, people who are against granting freedoms to a certain group of people will fight to make sure that it is not able to obtain full freedom. For example, in the case of gaining civil rights for colored people in the U.S., many people who believed that the white race was the supreme race hindered the obtainment of full freedom for African Americans. While the fourteenth amendment, which ratified full rights for African Americans, came out in the year 1868, African Americans were segregated and had poorer quality services than whites under the ruling “separate but equal.” It was not as late as 1957 that black people were able to get the

    The thirteen colonies that became the United States had long been governed by the British Empire, however in the late 1700’s the citizens of these colonies had gotten past fed up with British rule, and the first seeds of the American Revolution grew. People of color as well as women longed for access to equal rights and suffrage in democracy. Although white men were already treated with this sense of social equality, they were displeased with the taxation without representation and inability to govern themselves. Although each category of citizens had a different reason for doing so, they all stood in support of the American Revolution as an attempt to promote their own personal freedoms. Free blacks in northern states sought to utilize the progressiveness of the Revolution and its fundamental ideals as grounds to push forward their claims to the same rights that all other men claimed when the founding fathers wrote the declaration of independence.…

    Coretta King Scott,a civil rights activist, once said “ Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.” I 100% agree with this statement. With each generation people have arguments and fight about what they can and can’t do. Some people have taken the subtle route to get their rights or win their freedoms, but others choose to take more drastic measures to get what they want or may need. You win and lose freedoms everyday.…

    A lot of incidents being happening in the African American histories, and it will still happens because other minorities don’t know their histories and even though if they did, they still doing basically the same thing. If minorities were to be part of the “conversation” about race were to give more coverage in mainstream press it will be a great cause of it. People would be fighting against each other of what their belief. We would not be able to get the right answer or the true story behind anything. I’m in between, I feel like if someone knows what they talking about then let them talk and give their own speech.…

    Congress needed a solution to the issue of black inequality, so they came up with some new amendments. These new amendments were the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. The Thirteenth Amendment was perhaps the starting point that got the ball rolling for equality. In Give Me Liberty, Eric Foner went into detail about each of the amendments, and stated, “On January 31st, 1865, Congress approved the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery throughout the entire Union-and in doing so, introduced the word ‘slavery’ to the Constitution for the first time” (541). Abolishing slavery was the first step for gaining equal rights for blacks because it gave them the ability to be their own person, and to fight for even more equal rights.…

    African Americans “have been a group akin to Native Americans that has a very long and continuing history of challenging the imposition of race, racism, and White supremacy that at times has contributed to the creation and definition of U.S social norms, laws, and citizenship rights” (Shaw et.al.2015:70). Apartheid is the common model of minority exclusion for African Americans. Since the beginning the U.S Constitution saw African Americans as 3/5 of a person with the passing of the three-fifths Compromise, and with any outcome where any group is less than a whole person suggests a weak position of citizenship (Shaw et.al.2015:79). Even after their freedom was won with the passing of the 13th amendment which ended slavery in the United States, and the ratification of the14th and 15th “which stated that citizenship based on birth in the U.S” and “rights of citizens to vote cannot be abridged” (Wk:3, Lecture:4) African Americans still struggled with fighting for basic rights. A historical apartheid period was the era of Jim Crow politics which was- “the official government sanction of anti-black racial discrimination, racial separation, and violence” (Shaw et.al.2015:92).…

    Freedom is a short word, but its meaning is very big. We can live without it if we are forced to but we would be deprived of many things and activities that we take for granted in this country. Freedom can also mean many different things to everyone. Everyone has their own opinion on the topic, some feeling more strongly about it than others. One thing that comes to my mind when talking about freedom is having the ability to speak my mind without restraint.…
