    Extractions: Washington File Staff Writer (Former Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King died) Memphis, Tennessee "I was very moved by what I saw here, even though I knew the basic story of the American civil rights movement," said David Sam of Norway. "I knew little about the details of that struggle," said Rosanna Wong from Hong Kong. They were talking about the National Civil Rights Museum located on the site of the former Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed on April 4, 1968. The museum not only honors King's memory, it houses a comprehensive overview of the U.S. civil rights movement. The international visitors were in Oxford, Mississippi to attend a conference on "International Perspectives on Race, Ethnicity and Intercultural Relations," held April 18-22 at the University of Mississippi. While there, however, they took time out to visit the museum located about 70 miles north of Oxford in Memphis, Tennessee. The main exhibits are vignettes capturing pivotal moments in the struggle of African Americans for equal rights in the United States, including the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed school segregation, the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott that led to the ending of segregation in public transport, and the 1963 March on Washington at which King gave his electrifying "I Have A Dream" speech."

    Extractions: Encyclopedia civil rights Since the Civil War , much of the concern over civil rights in the United States has focused on efforts to extend these rights fully to African Americans. The first legislative attempts to assure African Americans an equal political and legal status were the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1870, 1871, and 1875. Those acts bestowed upon African Americans such freedoms as the right to sue and be sued, to give evidence, and to hold real and personal property. The 1866 act was of dubious constitutionality and was reenacted in 1870 only after the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment . The fourth Civil Rights Act attempted to guarantee to the African Americans those social rights that were still withheld. It penalized innkeepers, proprietors of public establishments, and owners of public conveyances for discriminating against African Americans in accommodations, but was invalidated by the Supreme Court in 1883 on the ground that these were not properly civil rights and hence not a field for federal legislation. In 1965 the Voting Rights Act was passed, which placed federal observers at polls to ensure equal voting rights. The Civil Rights Act of 1968 dealt with housing and real estate discrimination. In addition to congressional action on civil rights, there has been action by other branches of the government. The most notable of these were the Supreme Court decisions in 1954 and 1955 declaring racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, and the court's rulings in 1955 banning segregation in publicly financed parks, playgrounds, and golf courses.

With the theme "End the Occupation!", the Conference is set to follow the general debate of the fifty-seventh session of the General Assembly. The two-day plenary will be devoted to discussions on "The daily face of occupation", "Civil society and occupation", "Challenging the occupation," and "Ending the occupation". Expert presentations on economic and humanitarian crises, strengthening networks of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in times of crisis and legislative and political advocacy will guide those discussions. The Committee also took note of the oral reports of two recent conferences the African Meeting on the Question of Palestine, and the most recent meeting of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) which marked the inaugural Summit of the African Union.

    Extractions: Dennis Speed On Dec. 20, 1997, in New York City, Dr. Godfrey Lukongwa Binaisa, former President of Uganda, founded the African Civil Rights Movement (ACRM). Binaisa had issued a call for the Movement's formation in April 1995 (p. 32). The product of a three-year organizing drive, involving many international symposia, the New York meeting was attended by 75 people from Nigeria, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, South Africa, China, Uganda, Haiti, Spain, Lado, Congo, Tanzania, Canada, Cameroon, Botswana, the United States, and other nations. Binaisa's initiative reminded some of the participants of the "spirit of Bandung." They were referring to the initiative, concretized in a conference hosted by Indonesia's President Sukharno, of 29 nations of Africa and Asia, that were emerging from the dark night of British, Dutch, French, and Belgian colonialism, in April 1955. It was this initiative that created what was termed the "Third World." Binaisa, like South Africa's President Nelson Mandela, and the late Frederick Wills, former Foreign Minister of Guyana and a founding member of the Schiller Institute, were part of the "Nkrumah generation," that group of Africans who were the fathers of the independence movements of the 1950s and 1960s. Wills chaired a conference, at the request of Lyndon LaRouche, on Jan. 30-31, 1988, in Andover Massachusetts, entitled, "The New Name for Peace is Development." (See "44 Years After Bretton Woods: Building a New Monetary Order," EIR, Feb. 12,1988.)

    Extractions: Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents In 1958, an African-American handyman named Jimmy Wilson was sentenced to die in Alabama for stealing two dollars. Shocking as this sentence was, it was overturned only after intense international attention and the interference of an embarrassed John Foster Dulles. Soon after the United States' segregated military defeated a racist regime in World War II, American racism was a major concern of U.S. allies, a chief Soviet propaganda theme, and an obstacle to American Cold War goals throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Each lynching harmed foreign relations, and "the Negro problem" became a central issue in every administration from Truman to Johnson. In what may be the best analysis of how international relations affected any domestic issue, Mary Dudziak interprets postwar civil rights as a Cold War feature. She argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms, including desegregation. Civil rights activists gained tremendous advantage as the government sought to polish its international image. But improving the nation's reputation did not always require real change. This focus on image rather than substancecombined with constraints on McCarthy-era political activism and the triumph of law-and-order rhetoriclimited the nature and extent of progress.

The consultations enabled South African activists to share mobilization tactics learned in the struggle against apartheid to help Nigerian civil society leaders develop a strategy for addressing the difficult situation they faced at that time. In 1998, we organized a follow-up consultation in Accra, Ghana, which coincided with a period of escalating state repression, lending great urgency to the discussions. In December 1999, IHRLG organized a legislative advocacy workshop in collaboration with Human Rights Monitor in Kaduna, which brought together a diverse group of civil society leaders and media experts to investigate the positive and negative role the media has played in advancing a human rights agenda for Nigeria, and envision useful strategies for expanding relationships between civil society and the media within the new democratic environment.

    Extractions: TOLL FREE: PDF Just 45 days after the September 11, 2001, attacks, President Bush rammed the "PATRIOT Act" through Congress with virtually no debate. This law poses an unprecedented threat to Americans' individual freedoms and is a violation of our civil liberties. Many provisions of the act had been long sought after by law enforcement and repeatedly rejected by Congress in the past. Without a warrant or probable cause, the FBI can now search your private medical records or access your library records. Your doctor or local library is forbidden from notifying you when these searches take place. The government may search your home while you are away and in some cases even confiscate your property. Judicial oversight of these measures is virtually nonexistent. These are only a few of the PATRIOT Act's provisions that compromise our civil liberties. I believe that the only way to stop these unconstitutional infringements on basic American freedoms is to revoke the exorbitant powers the PATRIOT Act has granted the government. I am the only presidential candidate who voted against the PATRIOT Act. As president, one of my first moves would be to repeal it.
