planning of the movements.

media. The march was such a big deal that the president wrote a public response on it. It showed that the president was at least

took a lot of planning for when it came.

This source is the legislative strategy for trying to get the Civil Rights bill passed. The idea was being drafted in 1964 to then be

it was to impress the house & senate.

This photograph helps analyze conversations between civil rights leader and President Johnson discussing the Civil rights act.
This is important to my project because it shows even after all the conflict happening in the 1960s. The President himself was
able to sit down and discuss one of the biggest compromises in civil rights history.

Russell, Richard B. ",." speech in the Senate on his opposition to the Civil
Rights Act, digital ed., 18 June 1964.

This speech given by Russell Richard B. shows the people against black people being equal. It shows his hatred towards the idea
are integration. He says how he believes that the president isn't respecting the people of the south. Even though they still lost in
the senate, they will still fight. This is helpful to my project because it shows there was still hatred even after the Civil Rights of
1964 was passed.
