African Studies Boston Bus Crisis and Harold Washington
Back to the movement 1979-mid-1980s:
In this episode or video, it could be explored that there has been spotted a light in the on both new and old challenges that are being faced by the black communities. The black community faced the greatest and threatening to challenge in their life just after 25 years of civil rights struggle started. It followed the black communities in Miami and Chicago and responded differently to these challenges. By taking a look at this video, one thing becomes very clear, and that is the theme of this video. Discriminating black is that main theme of this video. It could be seen that since the 19980s during the summa, this city of Miami was flooded with a thousand black. This city (Miami) got crowded with refugees and search of the American dream. When people entered this land, they were very happy and started searching for opportunities. Most of the people who migrated in this video were from Cuba. By taking into account, this becomes quite clear that this video is pointing towards the blacks who in the beginning were very happy and thought that now they are going to have freedom and liberty. The immigrants who came from Cuba were expecting to stay together with other cultures. American dream in this video has been shown as on the fire by the black immigration that is never being given the right to live happily. In this video, there are various themes that have been discussed such as the theme of freedom, humanity, discrimination, race, and conflict of ideology and
It could be seen from this video that black found themselves humiliated by the whites. It could be witnessed that black with the advancement of time, were segregated and were made feel that they don’t belong to the category of human. From the video, t has been seen that many people are being interviewed and they all admitted that as time passed, they started feeling separate from the white. The theme of freedom could be associated with the black person who comes to this new land from Cuba and other countries. Attitude and behavior of white people started getting change. It is very well said by a person being witnessed in this video that black was deprived of their rights. The Africa Americans were brought to the country as a slave, so they are still socially and economically deprived.
Most of the white people used to criticize us black people; that's why they should be trained as white people despite knowing the fact that white is good people, but black people are much working has become. Racial discrimination started, and the black singers were not allowed to stay outside the hotels. It was the time of extreme unfair deeds with the blacks as white used to considered the blacks as their slaves. They used to considered black people are their pray. Black people were not having any political support as they had no black inside the political houses. White, first used to cut black’s finger, next middle figure and eventually they kill the blacks who were there. African education was the key to claiming their freedom from the white. The theme of consistency could be seen in this episode as well. People in Miami were hesitating. At the same time, it could be said that there came a turn in the history of politics when Harold Washington announced his participation in societies as political leaders. He started serving his people and there came a time, when black was getting increased when Washington entered the politics. It was the time when black was getting power in political affairs, and Washington became great support from them. It won't be wrong to say that Washington walks by keeping his hand in the hands of white people so that he could demand whatever would be the betterment of his colony. Inferiority complex is another theme that could be found in blacks, and that inferiority was because when someone starts considering other greater than himself, so Harold is the person who never wants his people to feel that they are less than other. It was the time when the black started acquiring good relations.
The keys to the kingdom
In this video, there could be seen similar kind of theme, i.e. racial discrimination as in the start of the video that is pointing towards the issues that are being faced with the black men and women. Law of segregation was implemented, and black was asked that they are not given to them by the government. Another major theme that could be noticed in this video is the exploitation of basic rights of blacks. Schools for the blacks and white were separated. Blacks criticized this action a lot, and they also question the government about their rights. Passion and courage is another thing that has been witnessed in this video as it could be seen that despite blacks were oppressed but still they choose their way and decided that they are going to fight for their right. Most of the people were not at all agreeing. One of the interviews given by a black lady shows that passion and courage as she stated that separating blacks from education means that separating them from life. Racial discrimination in an educational institution is another major theme of the video. Negros was reducing in the number who could take admission of in schools. White was left speechless when they could not answer Negros mother when she asked them white don't know about the effects. Though there are many themes that have been presented in this video one of the main themes is an injustice that was practiced by the white officials who despite knowing that they are at fault. First, the schools were segregate so that white child could get all then privileges despite having a lower number in class.
African social activists put their demands in front of the authorities. Negros students had not sufficient material, they were having not sufficient book, nutritional, chairs and in simple words, it could be said that they are having no access to anything especially education. The racially imbalanced school was the main question that the Negros parents asked raising concerns about schools where there was a small number of the white student while blacks had nothing that white children were enjoying. In the just attitude of white could be witnessed by taking a look at the things where they were moving. It has been seen from an interview that a black complains that all books go to the white school, all money goes to the white school and material goes to the white school. Themes that have been presented in this video are courage, unity, patience, injustice, class differentiate, conflict of ideology, superiority. When black children were not being admitted in schools, they had to face severe discrimination. Faith is another major theme that could be witnessed in this video. One of the main things for the Negros was to make their children understand for them; there are two things that are necessary. One they should be educated and also they must have developed good social relations.it has been seen that when white schools closed their doors for black students, they should not expect any favor as well. Selfishness and fear of white could be clearly seen in these videos. Negros’s was not even having any effective way or guideline to follow. The African Americans have made up of 12 percent of the total United States’ population. Many studies revealed that they were treated being ignored, and their basic rights were not provided. There were many health issues to the children and elders.
Accepting fact is one of the main things of life that would keep you motivated. Black parents were supporting their kids. One of the major theme and act that has been presented in this video is the feeling of guilt. There was a judge Arthur feeling of guilty overtook him, and he also apologized that they are sorry that they consciously made two schools one for black and one for white. After this step that was taken by judge Arthur, it was seen that there were provided remedies to blacks. In Boston confusion, concerns and fear were all there in the white people when black refused to accept their orders. White people also resisted this decision of disintegration. This video is indicating towards the incident of Boston bus crisis that took place because the white officials never allowed anyone. When blacks were deprived of the transportation facilities and later when after Arthur announced that blacks would also go to the same school as black used to be. Some of the white people throw the stone on the bus. Black was hoping to see good days one day. Civil rights were demanded by the black folks. It was said that the high cost of discrimination was paid by white, but cooperation is the only thing that brought them again on a platform.
