Voting Rights Act Timeline
March 4, 2005 DATE EVENT WHAT HAPPENED White men with property have the right to vote but Catholics, Jews, Quakers and others are barred from voting. The Naturalization Act bars Asian Americans from becoming citizens. New Hampshire eliminates property ownership requirements, which gives more white men the opportunity to vote. New Hampshire becomes the first state to eliminate the rule that only property owners and taxpayers can vote. Following New Hampshire's lead, other states begin to shift away from such restrictions in an effort to open the electorate to more white males. Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry redraws voting district lines to favor the Republican-dominated legislature against the Federalist Party. Today, the term "gerrymander" means the drawing of legislative district lines, usually in a bizarre manner, to give an unfair advantage to one group or political party. Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1986 in Davis v. Bandemer that the question of partisan gerrymandering could be settled in a court of law, no court has ever invalidated a redistricting plan on the basis of partisan gerrymandering. The Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo ends the Mexican American War, giving Mexicans in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas U.S. citizenship.

1960s Civil Rights Movement in America
The '60s Civil Rights Movement was a significant period in American history. Read on to learn about it. The Civil Rights Movement in America in the ‘60s was significant and eventful. The era was marked by protests against the Vietnam War and passing of the most advanced civil rights laws.
Four black students from the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College sat down at the lunch counter located in the Greensboro’s Woolworth’s store and ordered coffee on February 1, 1960. The waitress refused to serve them unless they drank it while standing because the counter only served white customers. The next day they returned with more students, and sat in peaceful protest until the counter closed for the day. Students from other southern black colleges and universities followed with similar sit-ins that brought about the desegregation of several hundred-lunch counters. During the sit-ins the young black protestors organized the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee).
Many SNCC members joined forces with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) which was founded in Chicago in the ‘40s. It organized the Freedom Rides of 1961. The first group of Freedom Riders boarded two buses in Washington D.C and embarked on a route through the South to test the 1960 Supreme Court decision Boynton vs. Virginia, which had outlawed segregation in interstate transportation terminals. Even though the Freedom Riders were arrested, beaten and in one instance had their bus burned down they were eventually successful, prompting the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce the ruling in Boynton. Martin Luther King Jr. led a mass protest campaign in Albany, Georgia during 1961-62 called the Albany movement. In 1962 Cesar Chavez in California organized a migrant farm worker strike and a 250-mile march. His goal was to bring improvements in working conditions and low pay for Hispanic farm workers.

Students will understand the following:
Beyond the famous leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, ordinary men and women struggled for their beliefs. All the participants—famous and not so famous—deserve to have their stories told. Older people have a responsibility to pass on these stories to younger people. Materials
For this lesson, you will need:
Multiple reference sources that treat the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s Procedures
Explain to students that forty and fifty years after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, some participants are very well remembered and some less so. Some participants have been written about frequently; others, even others who lost their lives in the struggle, have received scant recognition. Tell students that for a class project they are going to do research and create a single volume to be titled A Children’s Encyclopedia of the Civil Rights Movement.

Volume 26 Coalition Meets New Jersey Attorney General at Asian American Civil Rights Summit, Attorney General Hears Sikh Civil Rights Concerns On October 9, 2003, the Sikh Coalition participated in a civil rights panel organized by the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights. The event was organized by the Division to explore why Asian-Americans report bias at lower rates than other minority groups. NJ Attorney General Peter Harvey was the keynote speaker at the event. The Sikh Coalition and Sikhs from New Jersey briefly presented their civil rights concerns to the Attorney General. The Sikh Coalition thanks the Director of the NJ Division of Civil Rights, Frank Vespa-Papaleo, for organizing the event and inviting the Coalition to appear on a panel. The Coalition would also like to thank New Jersey Assemblyman Upendra J. Chivukula for facilitating our interaction with Attorney General Harvey and the Division on Civil Rights.

A renowned group of civil rights advocates and scholars examine civil rights issues facing the rapidly growing and diverse communities of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the second issue of AAPI Nexus: Asian American and Pacific Islander Policy, Practice and Community. The journal focuses on the complexities of the Asian American civil rights agenda, such as the necessity of bridging the gaps between activists and scholars to strengthen civil rights advocacy and civil rights research, the limits of pan-Asian frameworks in addressing the needs of specific populations, the problems in developing effective coalitions both within Asian American communities and between Asian Americans and other minority communities, and the changing demography that has shaped and reshaped Asian American civil rights.
