The earliest civil rights demonstrations took place during the late 1860s and early 1870s, as African Americans forced an end to segregated public transport in cities such as Charleston, Richmond, New Orleans and Savannah. These early victories were negated by the rising tide of Jim Crow laws in the South, and civil rights efforts were repressed throughout the latter part of the 19th century, when accommodationist policies of Booker T. Washington held sway. A revival of civil rights activity was heralded by the emergence of the Niagara Movement and the rise of the NAACP during the first decade of the 20th century.

Echoing the sentiment of The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, our tour begins through the multimedia galleries and exhibitions that trace the impassioned sojourn of resolute individuals who, during the 1950’s and 1960’s, challenged bigotry and racial hatred in the struggle for equal rights, with Birmingham, Alabama a city critical in the movement. Much more than a museum, the Institute, which opened on November 15, 1992, is a "learning place with a very strong educational forum," said Florence Wilson-Davis, public relations manager for BCRI. "We’re more than a place where people come to view a piece of art. [Here] they actually become a part of the exhibits." Permanent Exhibitions Barriers Gallery "Voices"

29. Palestine Center - Did You Say Failure? The Success Of The Durban NGO Forum UN High Commissioner for Human rights, was refusing Durban is primarily a victoryfor international civil society Bonding together in South africa, this is only http://www.palestinecenter.org/cpap/pubs/20010907ib.html

by Marwan Bishara Overview: Some 3,000 NGO delegates from around the world termed their conference in Durban, South Africa a success story. Most of the western media, however, characterized it as a missed opportunity or outright failure. The discrepancy between the two evaluations lies not in the deliberation of the conference but rather in its coverage by the western media. After more than a year of preparation and seven days of discussions, the NGO delegates in 44 regional and interest-based caucuses adopted the NGO forum declaration. They focused on topics such as the treatment of refugees and immigrants, anti-Semitism, the caste system in India, persistent slavery in Africa, and the impact of racism on HIV/AIDS and other health care issues. Out of the hundreds of paragraphs adopted in the final declaration, few addressed Israel/Palestine. Palestinian Success, Conference Failure: The conservative right-wing of the Republican Party would have exploded if the administration had to apologize for past slavery and commit to repatriations, in an international UN-sponsored forum no less. Any compromise, regardless how meager, could translate into a victory for the civil rights movement and a Democratic Party gain. Creating Conflicting Interests: Prior to and during the conference, influential friends of Israel lobbied African countries to drop the Palestinian issue in the official and NGO WCAR, offering to help them raise the question of repatriation, hence creating a conflict of interest between the two issues. Certain African states, including the South African government, were enticed by the offer, especially when considering the alternative: torpedoing the conference all together.

How much do you think the United States Civil Rights movement was influenced by the South African movement, seeing as the South African movement began first? Matt Did the civil rights movement in America give you hope for a freer South Africa in the future? Andrew During your years involved in politics, what degree of awareness did you have about the occurrences in the U.S. and the American civil rights movement? Jenna and Erin I came into politics in my late teens during the 1950s. This was a time when the Cold War was at its most vicious. We followed events in the USA very closely. Paul Robeson, the singer, was a great hero to many of us. We had pictures of him on our walls, and I used the fact that I could sing with a bass voice, "I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night" to join in our sing songs. We also use to play Pete Seeger and a friend of mine could even recite all the words of "Talking Union." Come to think of it, Robeson's song, "I am an American,"
