Chapter 17 Review
Chapter 17 Review
Immigration was at a very high level in the 1920s
contributed to racism - how? because everyone is competing for jobs
New ‘scientific’ reasons for racism studies of Eugenics
Birth of a Nation - silent movie that glorified KKK - got very popular (remember the march on Washington)
Who did the KKK hate?
NAACP used legal system to try to protect rights and equality - lynching was first
UNIA (Marcus Garvey) United Negro Improvement Association
preached black nationalism (started ferry line)
The great migration led to many AAs leaving to the north - better jobs, better education
Northerners did not like the great migration - more competition for jobs - changed racial balance
Unions did not allow blacks to join - had to make their own - A. William Randolph
Harlem Renaissance - a product of the great migration - music, art, literature, poetry
what provoked the MOVE uprising in 1978?

Chapter 16 Review Notes
In the early 20th C. there were progressive reforms (looking out for the little guy)
example today: minimum wage
Black leaders looked to overcome challenges
Booker T. Washington - wanted Blacks to be educated - founded Tuskeegee Institute
W.E.B. Dubois - wanted blacks to stand up for rights and demand political and legal equality
1909 - NAACP founded. result of Springfield Riots -led whites
Washington was against the NAACP
Beginning of 20th C. there were many race riots.... violent - often an excuse for violence
The great migration led to riots too
1910-1940 1.75 million AAs moved North, known as great migration
Biggest communities were Chicago, New York
Caused friction in the new cities

The origins of the NAACP
We have just looked at speeches by Booker T Washington and W.E.B. Dubois, political rivals who differed on issues of gaining equality. Washington stressed education believing that equality can be reached first through economics while Dubois tried to achieve equality by legal action. The NAACP was aligned with Dubois' strategy and in turn Dubois supported the NAACP. Washington criticized the NAACP and wished its demise.
