    My topic was about John F. Kennedy that fought in civil rights law movement.I believe John F. Kennedy was upstander because he believe black should not be treated wrong.John F. Kennedy fought with republican and democratic to pass a law that blacks should be treated equally.John F. Kennedy promised freedom for blacks but took him a long time to pass it.John F. Kennedy promised a lot of stuff and did not completed years past.when the day came John F. Kennedy accomplished blacks to have some basics freedom like voting. blacks were still denied there freedom.John F. Kennedy was an upstander not a bystander because blacks at least had some freedom.

  2. My groups project is about "The Civil Rights Act of 1964". It didn't have any main person in particular. Still I can mention that there were many people involved. Most of them were whites who tried just about any thing to keep blacks from becoming equal with them. Others were blacks and some whites trying to end segregation. Even though some blacks were not involved both black and some whites got impacted by the act. Some were disrespected even more others gained more respect. This was all caused by "The Civil Rights Act of 1964".

  4. My research topic is on Jackie Robinson. He was the first African American to play in the major leagues in baseball. When he was the only African American that played there were upstanders, bystanders, and perpetrators. The perpetrators were the people that sent letters to his house threatening to kill him and the people that shouted names when he went up to bat. The bystanders are the people that didnt say anything to the people that were verbaly abusing Jackie. The upstanders are the people that did tell the perpatrators to stop saying things to him.Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. He had to over come a lot of obstacles and problems. Even with the hatred he still played his best. He died of a heart attack but he died changing America

  5. My research topic was Emmett Till. In the murder of Emmett Till he was brutally murdered because he told Carolyn Bryant "bye baby". Her husband was out of town and when he found out him and his half brother made and example of him by lynching him and burning him alive.There were many different examples of human behavior.Moses Wright was the upstander because he risked his life by pointing out the killers knowing that they were going to be found non guilty and were going to be after him.He was also a bystander because he watched Emmetts killers take him from his house. Moses Wright was a victim because he lost his great nephew.The perpatrators were Carolyns husband and his half brother because they are the ones who lynched him.Emmett Till was the victim because he was the one who got killed.

  6. My topic is Martin Luther King Jr. and he did the march on Washington for jobs and freedom. He was an upstander because he gave his famous speech called I have dream… he and the people that marched that was not only blacks it was also whites they were in this with them they wanted to make people a.k.a blacks have the same rights like them. They knew they were putting their lives in danger. The police the people that tried to stop Martin Luther King Jr. and the people marching with him were perpetrators and bystanders. The people that got hanged or put in jail are victims because they were just fighting for their rights for what they believed in! so yeah Martin Luther King Jr. was mi topic and he is probably the hero of a lot of African American.

  8. My topic is about Emmett till. What happened was that he was visiting the South and he didn't know anything about it, or how to behave with the white people from the South. So he was dared to tell the white lady in the store "hey baby" and grabbed her waist. Later in the day, her husband went to Moses Wright's house (Emmett Till's uncle) and kidnapped Emmett Till. After that they tortured him and shot him in the head. And he was killed. This happened in Mississippi.
    I think Mose's Wright was a bystander, upstander. He was a bystander because he let the white man take Emmett Till and did not do anything.He's also an upstander because he went to testify that the white man in the court were the ones who took Emmett Till. The friends he was with are the perpretrators because they were the ones that dared him to flirt around with the white lady in the store. Emmett Till was obviosuly the victim because he's the one that got killed because of something he didnt know that was gonna get him in trouble.

  9. My research topic is on the ku kux klan. The klan was established at the end of the American Civil war on December 24,1865 in the small town of Pulaski,Tennesse.their goal was to kill black people that were supporting the civil rights movement. The KKK also aimed on any whites who were thought tp be aiding and abetting their black neighbors. The bystanders are the soldiers becouse they see that the black people are getting chased or a beating and they look the other way. The victims are the black people becouse they are the one suffering all the insults and threats. Also the Perpetrators are the KKK becouse there the ones cousing everything. And the upstnders are the civil rights people like for an example Martin Luther King.

  10. My reseach topic was the Civil Rights act of 1964, and we found out that there were many people who did amazing things that lead to the Civil Rights movement of 1964. Some of which were Rosa Parks when she refused to move from her seat on the bus to let a white man sit down, Or Martin Luther King Jr. who believed in peaceful protesting and who said the famouse words,"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."And events like the Montgomery bus boycott or the sit-ins all helped out and contributed to this event. But it wasn't until July 2nd,1964 that president Lyndon B. Johnson signed this act into a law. And if it wasn't for the upstanders like Martin Luther King Jr.,Rosa parks,or even Malcom X who took a stand and showed the bystanders that if they tried to stand up for what they belive is right the impossible becomes possible. So all of these events and people helped to make the Civil rights Act of 1964 into a law.

  11. My research topic is "The Murder of Emmett Till". Emmett Till was a boy from Chicago and was visiting his great-uncle Mose Wright in Money, Mississippi. One day he went to the Bryant’s Grocery and Meat Market to buy some candy. There he started flirting with Carol Bryant, the white storekeeper and when he left he told her, “Bye Baby.” This angered Carol Bryant, her husband Roy Bryant, and Roy’s brother J.W. Milam. Later that night Roy and J.W. kidnapped Emmett. Three days later his disfigured body was found in the Tallahatchie River. Roy and J.W. were trialed but were found innocent and let free even though they were the murderers. The bystanders were Mose Wright because he let Emmett be kidnapped and didn’t do anything about it and the judge of the trial because he declared the real murderers innocent. The perpetrators were Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam because they kidnapped Emmett Till and then murdered him. The victim of being kidnapped and murdered was Emmett Till. The were no upstanders.

    My research project was the Civil Rights Act of 1964.What happened on it was that many people like Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X were involved in marches, sit-ins, and in many organizations for the purpose to get their freedom, and rights like for ex. the right to vote. In the civil rights act of 1964 the up standers were the blacks like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks, because they did the necessary to try in get what they needed (freedom).Some of the bystanders were the blacks that didn’t do anything from keeping the whites from insulting them and also some whites because they knew and saw people doing bad things and didn’t do something to stop it. The perpetrators were the whites that did the wrong doing.

    From what I am doing right now, my research topic is called the 16th St. Birmingham Baptist church bombing. People wuld call it the turning point of the civil rights movement of that time. What would happen in that event is that KKK members would put explosives in the stairs of the church when it wwould blow up. Before this happened, 4 girls would be in the church basement where the center of the explosin would happen, killing those girls. The rest of the people who would be in the church would be injured. The suspect named Robert Chambliss would be found not guilty, but years later, he was tried again, this time guilty.He would be the perpetrator among others who would join the KKK(against the blacks), which were responsible of the bombing.The victims would be the 4 girls and the injured ones because they would be bullied by the bombing.

  16. My topic is Martin Luther King Jr. He stopped segregation between blacks and whites. He did a march to protest the rights for African Americans. He gave his dream speech in Washington D.c. He got shot because he tried defending the civil rights. He was an upstander because he did something about the civil right movement. he was also a victim because whites didnt like him and he was supporting the civil rights movement that why he also got shot.

    At the age of 6 he had his first segragation.

  18. My research topic is on Rosa Parks. She was a female civil rights activist who did not give her seat to a white man because the bus driver told her to. She was arrested but soon freed by E.D. Nixon by pay bail for her. He taught her into using her incident as a case to stop segregation on buses. By using her case she started the Montgomery Bus Boycott and made it illegal to have segregation on buses. Rosa Parks was an up stander because she didn’t give up her seat and fought against segregation. The bystanders are the people who gave up their seats without fighting back. The perpetrators is the bus drivers who made the black people give their seats and mistreated them. Another Perpetrator were the black people who rode the buses against the boycott.

  20. MY TOPIC IS SCHOOL INTERGRATION IN LITTLE ROCK. THE UPSTANDERS ARE THE COURT LAW. THE BYSTANDERS ARE THE TROOPS AND THE TEACHERS. THE PERPETRARORS ARE THE RACIST PEOPLE IN SCHOOL. THE VICTIMS ARE THE BLACK PEOPLE THAT WERE GOING TO THE SCHOOL. ALL OF THIS BECAUSE THATS HOE RACISM WAS BEFORE IN THE 1950s AND PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE AFRICANS AMERICANS. SO THEY DIDNT WANT THEM GOING TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS OTHER WHITE PEOPLE.

  21. My research topic is about John F. Kennedy. The Kennedy administration did many things. One of the main things done was the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Kennedy was working on this act before his death. This act would end job discrimination, end segregation in public places, and end unfair voting requirements. After his death, Lyndon Johnson, who was vice president and became president after Kennedy’s death, promised he would make the pass of this act as soon as possible in honor of Kennedy. After a passing the House, a compromise bill was made that passed the Senate and House, on July 2, 1964 the act was signed by Lyndon Johnson. The victims were the African Americans that were still treated different, unfairly, and were still segregated. The perpetrator are the segregationist that are fighting to keep segregation and still want to treat African Americans unfairly. The upstanders would be people like John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and other civil rights leaders who are fighting for integration and the rights of African Americans.

    My research topic is John F. Kennedy. This is not really an event this is a president. There were events during his presidency that did have upstanders, bystanders, perpetrators, and victims. One event that involved an upstander was when President Kennedy made a speech on television about how he was going to ask congress for a civil rights law. He was an upstander because what he did might have made some people upset. Some civil rights activists considered Kennedy a bystander because they felt that he wasn't really doing anything. A perpetrater in one event was the guy who shot and killed John F. Kennedy. The victims in mostly all the situations were African Americans because Kennedy had a hard time making steps for equality because the southern democrates didn't like most Kennedy's ideas. In my opinon I don't think that Kenndey was a bystander at all, he did his best as president. I think that if Kennedy wasn't shot and killed he would have accomplished much greater than what he already did.

    Will my project was about jfk. John f Kennedy was related to the civil rights movement because like of his death they pass the bill for civil rights etc. I really don’t know what kind of bill was it but it sure helped the civil rights movement. I think the up stander was jfk because like he tried so hard when he was president to make that bill pass but it never happened. Because of his death they passed the bill for his honor. The other thing why he was an up stander because like he could of just not cared for the blacks and could have just ignored all the blacks. But instead he was tiring so hard to make everything happen to give that civil rights etc. mostly all white people didn’t care about the blacks but he was a white pres and like he did really care for them etc. the bystanders were the people that didn’t do anything in the past etc. these all happened by the 1900s. He dead on Nov 22 1963. The bill was passed for his honor.

    My research topic is Martin Luther King Jr. He was a peacemaker and believed that they could fight peacefully with words instead of fists. He tried to gain equallity without any physical violence. He did marches, speeches, and boycotts. His most famous speech was "I have a dream" in his speech he said he dreamed of one day when everyone would be equal and when no one would be judge by the color of there skin or any difference for that matter. He was a victim and an upstander. He was a victim because, he was being discriminated against because, of the color he is. He's an upstander because, he worked hard for his rights as a person. Martin Luther King was a person who made a change the ways of people and taught them that they don't have to fight to get what they want.

  28. Ku Klux Klan:
    My reading project was on the KKK. The KKK was a group of men who were against the civil right act. They targeted whites and blacks that wanted to aquire equal rights. These people were the victims aswell as upstanders,because they wanted to make a diffenrence in life by getting equal rights. The Ku Klux Klan memebers were the perpetrators because they targeted people who tried to make a difference and killed them. There weren't many bystanders since everyone tried to bring the Ku Klux Klan to justice.

    My topic is Rosa Parks.
    What happened with Rosa Parks was she was arrested because she would not give up her seat for a white man. When she was arrested there where no upstanders. Just bystanders. Rosa Parks was a victim. She was arrested because she was black and would not give up her seat. Yet if a white person didn't feel like giving up thier bus seat nothing would happen.

  31. My research topic is about Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was known as a Civil Rights Leader because she refused to do something for a white person. She was riding the bus, when the bus driver told her to get up and give up her seat for the white person because there was no more seats at the front of the bus. She refused and she was arrested, but later one of her lawyers paid her fee and she was liberated. The up stander and the victim was Rosa Parks, for refusing to give up her seat to a white person. The bystanders were the people sitting in the bus watching the commotion happen. Another bystander is the white person that had no seat. He could have just stayed standing up, rather than Rosa Parks giving up her seat for him. The perpetrator was the bus driver that wanted Rosa Parks to get up and give her seat to a white person. He didn’t want a white person to be standing up for a little while, so instead he wanted Rosa Parks arrested for not giving up her seat.

  32. My topic is Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was told to give up her seat to a white man ,but she refused.So the bus driver called the cops and had Rosa aressted. Rosa Parks was the upstander and the blacks were the victims and the whites the perpetrators.Rosa Parks was the upstander because she actually stood up for herself and in what she believed in. The blacks were the victims because they were constantly made fun of and insulted. Some of the whites were the perpetrators because they were always insulting the blacks. Some whites were bystanders because some didn`t really have nothing against the blacks but they didn`t help them.

    My topic is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was very important to the Cilvil Rights Movement.He led very inspiring marches and proceed to think about the justice that his fellow negro's needed. Martin Luther King thought that we should all be equal and treated with respect.He was a upstander when he seen his fellow black people being treated wrong.Rosa Parks was also an upstander when it came to her having to give her seat up after a long day at work.Many African Americans were upstanders to because they were right behind Dr. King during his marches and speeches.Dr. King was also a victim when he was shot and killed because he had a dream that needed to be shared.All of the bystanders were most of the white people who stood there and wacthed blacks get mistreated and did wrong.Martin Luther King was also an inspiration to many people and that's why he get celebrated. But, through it all Dr. Martin Luther King is really important to the Cilvil Rights Movement.

The upstanders are the people who are supporting the campagin, and taking part in the marches. The victims are african americans who have had their right to vote taken away. The perpertrators are men and woman who are racist, and who took away the equality to vote, and the equality in schools.

    My research topic is The Murder of Emmett Till. What happened is that Emmett Till was a 14 year old boy that was raised in Chicago. He went to visit relatives in Money Mississippi. He wasn't used to the whole segragation thing because he was from the north. He was dared by some friends to flirt with Carolyn Bryant a cashier. He whistled and was flirting. Later that night Carolyn Bryants husband and his brother took Emmett Till out of his Uncle Moses Wright's house and murdered him. They tortured this 14 year old boy just because he talked to this white woman. The two murderes were found not guilty. And there was no justice for this boys death. The upstander in this even was Moses Wright because he identified the men that did this to Emmett Till. But I believe he was also a bystander because when they took Emmett Till out of his house he did nothing to try to stop it even if he knew what would happen to him if he did. The perpetrators were Roy Bryant and J.W William, the murderes. And the victim involved in my topic is Emmett Till because he didn't deserve this. But more than that I think every person of color in the south was a victim because Emmett Tills story was just one of many people linched.

  48. My research topic was about Emmett Till. Emmett Till was a young black 14 year old boy visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi. One day their he supposedly wolf whistled at a white woman and this caused all the trouble. Soon her husband Mr. Bryant and his brother Milam came to take Till away to kill him. They did and soon a trial was held were Moses Wright a black man testified against the two murders. Tills mother was devastated that her boy was killed. Emmett Till was a victim as he died by the two perpetrators Milam and Mr. Bryant. Now an up stander as I feel were Tills mother as she showed the world what they did to her son, and Moses as he testified against the criminals. Those two as I feel were also victims as they lost someone in their family. And I feel the jury was bystanders as they heard the evidence yet did not incriminate Mr. Bryant and Milam. In the end there were many bystanders and victims in this tragic event.

  49. My topic for the research paper is The Ku Klux Klan. This was a very dangerous group and everybody was afraid of them. The perpetrators here are the members in the Ku Klux Klan because they are the ones doing the bad things. The bystanders are the white people because they dont do anything but yell stuff to them african americans. The victim is the black people because they get killedd.

  50. My research paper is about the little rock nine it talks about how the whites did not wanted to do integration but the african americans dirint.Also how 9 kids entered the central high school and the whites wanted them to be out of their school because they said its only a white school.The bystanders from little rock nine is some of the teachers at central high and the upstanders is the judge of the court and the military of the nation and the president.The perpetrators are the whites who want to hurt the african americans which is the mob who wont let in the kids into central high.The victims are the african americans and the 9 brave kids who entered central high because they are the ones who have classes with more white kids and have to pass through that mob everyday.

  51. The topic that i am currently researching is mainly about Rosa Parks and her heroic actions.
    Based on what i have learned,Rosa Parks was on her way home from work,her boss had let her leave early.She got on a bus,paid her fee,exited and entered through the back.(Segregation was on buses aswell.)Rosa Parks took a seat near the front,moments after the Bus driver began shouting at a fellow pasenger because he was not sitting in the correct section due to his race.Without complaint he got up and obeyed his command and took a seat in the back of the bus.Rosa knew he might come to her aswell.As she predicted he did.This is where it began.The bus-driver asked nicely to move and go to the back of the bus.Rosa refused to give up her seat.She simply responded saying,"Why do you trea us this way?"The police were called and that day she was arrested for violating a local ordinance.Her story became known all over.This dilema sparked and started the Bus-Boycott of Montgomery,Alabama.People gave up using public transportation for a year.This event was a major step towards the finish line for the Civil Rights Movement.The upstander most definitely Rosa Parks for standing up for what she belived was right,by refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus.The bystander would be that man who got up and obeyed the bus driver instead of standing up like Rosa did.The perpatrator would be the bus-driver because he knows what he is doing is wrong,and yet he is following through and obeying the law.The victim would also be Rosa because she was arrested and tooken to jail for doing the right thing.She went to jail for nothing,in my opinion.

  52. My research topic was the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK is a group that had risen at the time of the Civil Rights Era. They caused much havock that caused many African Americans to fear them. They got many politicians and police officers on their side and would tell them to allow them to terrorize people before they intervine. The KKK is the perpetrator and bystanders because not only do they will and harm people who have done no harm but they just go along with all of it. The victims of the Ku KLux Klan were usually African Americans and people involved in desegregation. They targeted these people because with the African Americans they believed they did not deserve to go to their schools, restruants etc. They targeted those who were for desegregation because they did not have their same mindset as they and they would get in the way. They would do lynchings, bombings and shootings. Thyey caused much trouble in just the first 4 years after the Supreme Courts decision to desegrate schools. From killing 6 African Americans to 23 shooting and woundings of both African Americans and Whites.

  54. My research topic is about Martin Luther King Jr. I think Martin Luther was a upstander because he stand up for the right of blacks and wanted all the facilities to be equal. I think this is important because most black people were scared to even stand up for them self to a white man. He was a victim because they tryend to kill him in one of his speeches he did here in marquette park wail he was doing his speech they hit him behind his head with a brick and that could have killed him or made him loss his memory. I think this is important because if they were to kill him their would be any one else like him and to stop slavery would have been harder for other to stop slavery.

    My descusion research topic was on Rosa Parks.
    Rosa Parks was an African American woman refused to give her seat up to a white person. Therefore she wasd arrested, which lead to The Montgomery Bus Boycott which made Rosa important to the civil rights Movement.
    I strongly believe the upstander was Rosa because she decided to fight for equality also the people who participated in the Bus Boycott. I think the bystanders were the other colred people who were in the bus because they didn't do anything about it. The Perpetrators were the men who arrested Rosa and the man who accused her for not giving up her seat.

    Well, my research topic for my project of the Civil Rights Movement was non other than Mr. John F. Kennedy. This man was not only our President of the USA, but he also made a difference due to equality. The even that I will be discussing about right now will be the memorable Civil Rights Act of 1964. This bill was being discussed on and led by JFK, but since JFK was assassinated on November 22 of 1963, he didn’t have a chance to sign this specific bill. This bill was to make any racial discrimination remark or action illegal. This bill was then signed by LBJ, Lyndon B. Johnson, in Kennedy’s honor. All of this effort to create this bill had been used instead of just thrown away. Before this bill was passed, many of the African Americans were suffering great amounts of racism by the White population of people, the real victims were the African Americans, they were the ones who were segregated from the rest, and the whites were no more than perpetrators to the public. Once this bill was passed, many of the African Americans felt more safe, and more like real Americans, better than just a “ single race”. That’s how JFK was a big part of the Civil Rights Movement. This bill also led to the creation of the Nationality Act of 1965, which insured the guarantee of civil rights between the Mexican farm and labor workers, to be more equal with work owners in both pay and respect. This was not only our president, but a blessing to this country.

  57. My topic is about John F. Kennedy. He was the 35th President of the United States. Kennedy was assassinated just like Abraham Lincoln. When the murder was found he was arrested or murdered also. John F. Kennedy was a supporter of the civil rights. Most of his speeches were supporting the 1960 Act. John F. Kennedy was a speech giver and whenever he gave his speeches he made people comprehend what he was trying to support. John F. Kennedy was a Democrat before he became President of the United States. People believed that he wanted to change the world. Kennedy believed that anything was possible and that anyone can do anything. One of Kennedys favorite quotes were “This is one country “. I believe that what he is trying to say is that this country is full and no one should feel left out.

  58. My research topic is the little rock nine they were the first african amrican students to attend an all white school.they received many harsh insults and lots more.they were the victoms and i can say that the thereb were many unknown bystanders like for example the one that took the picture of elizabeth eckfore being screamed by the mob.they state "i say elizabeth eckforebeing bravein the face of a mob i felt both hopeless and vulnerable".of course the little rock nine were the victims in all this,because all they did was attend a school were they could get a good education the perpetraters were all that followed because they never did anything to stop it.

  59. In the book of Warriors dont cry i read that once the nine students enter the high school a whole bunch of drama goes after them because they are color peeople and the whites dont want colored people in their school
    The victims are the nine students and the upstanders are the white people becuae they want them out of there school but the bystanders are the soldiers the governer sent because they were doing nothing to protect them they also wanted them out of the Central school.

    My research topic is Martin Luther King Jr.Martin inspired lots of people,but he was also inspired by Rosa Parks.Martin gave his famous speech "I Have A Dream"and he also marched to Washington "The march for Jobs and Freedom".Martin also did a bus boycott and there he accomplished what he wanted.He changed the civil rights and made all blacks and whites to have equal rights.Martin was an upstander because he fought for what he wanted until he accomplished it.He fought for his race and community and he was very brave to do such things and thats what made him an upstander.

  62. My research topic is about Martin Luther King , Jr . In this event many things happened but one of the main one was the march that Dr.King held on August 28 , 1963 he led a march on Washington D.C for whites and blacks that began at the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial were they all demanded Jobs and Freeom ( equality ) . Dr.King was a inspiring person to everyone , but especially to the African Americans because he gave blacks the right to vote and to do anything that they weren't allowed during segregation .
    But most of all he was remebered for his famous " I Have A Dream " speech that he gave that day . Most of the white community dislikeed him because of what he was doing , giving the blacks the right to vote and to do whatever they wanted .

  63. My topic is about Rosa Parks. She was the woman who refused to give up her seat to a white man. The upstanders I think are the NAACP because they were an organization that helped the African American People. The NAACP was activists they were a small organization made up of some African Americans and Caucasians who believed in democracy. I think the bystanders were the white people and the black people because they didn’t do anything when the white man was telling Rosa Parks to get out of her seat. The Perpetrators were the White man because he was making Rosa give up her seat. Another Perpetrator was the bus driver because he also told her to give up her seat and he had her arrested for not giving her seat up. The victim was Rosa Parks and all the colored people because they had to give up their seats. Rosa Parks was the victim because she was also fined for breaking the law. After her arrest there were also other arrests made because the colored people now had the guts to stand up for themselves.

  64. My research topic is about Martin Luther King Jr. He was a peace activist, he brought to the whole world's attention how unfairly blacks were treated. He had the help of millions of Americans, but his strong leadership and the power of speech that gave people the faith and courage to keep working peacefully even when others didn't.The event was that all the colored people were treated differently because they weren't from the same race. The white people would kill them. For example like Emmitt Till they tortured him and then killed him just because he said bye baby to a white lady. Or like in the book warriors don't cry the white people want to hurt the black kids that go to the school just because they were colored. The upstander is Martin Luther King. The bystanders and perpetrators are the white people because they were acting violently and racist against the colored people. The victims were the black people because they were the ones that had to take the pain of hate, discrimination, and racism from the white people.

    my research paper was about the Ku Klux Klan.The kkk was a white supremacy group that thought whites were superior to blacks and all other races. They would lynch blacks to show them what happened if they were free.Other whites who thought this was wrong or wanted to stand up would also be "punished by god". .the perpetrators were the kkk members because they did the crime. The victims were African Americans because the violence was towards them. The bystanders were other blacks and whites for not standing up and if they did they would also become victims.

  66. My research topic is the Bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church. On September 15, 1963, a man was seen getting out of a car and leaving a box outside of the church. A few minutes later, the bomb exploded, completely destroying the eastern side of the building. The bomb killed 4 girls, three 14 year-old's, & one 11 year old. The bombing enraged the black community, & made some whites fearful of black retaliation. Some up-standers were the witnesses that described the person who dropped the box outside of the church to the court. The perpetrators were the Ku Klux Klan, who were claimed responsible for this act. The victims were Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley, the four girls that died, & the many other people that were injured, too.

    My research topic is about John F. Kennedy.JFK was the US president during the 60's. He was an upstander because he saw segregation. He knew it was wrong so he stepped up and fought for the civil rights act. There were also some other african american upsatnders such as Martin Luther King and Malcom X. There were some bystanders. Example like in the lynching many people saw the wrong but didin't do anything. Also the victims were the african american people getting picked on by the white's and not getting treated equaly. Now the perpetrators were the same US citicens. Kennedy fought and fought trying to stop segregation but couldn't do it. Until his death was that vice president Lyndon Johnson in order to honor Kennedy helped pass the civil rights act.

  71. My research is the Ku Klux Klan. What happened to The Klan during the Civil Rights movement was that they have tried to stop the Blacks from intergrating into white schools. KKK was Perpetrators, they would lynch people who tried to pass the law of going to school with white people. If anybody tried to take the body down they would get shot or hanged too. The Klan was always the perpetrators in anything because everything they did was to hurt the blacks or people from different color. Ku Klux Klan would recruit new people to their Klan which caused it to expan in the south and all over the states. They would murder anybody would tried to help blacks and were invovled in the Civil Rights movement.

  73. My research topic is John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy was a important part of the Civil Rights Movement. He tried passing the Bill of Rights. He was assassinated though before he could so Lyndon B. Johnson did it in honor of John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy kind of worked with Martin Luther King so I guess that was pretty imporant. I think Lyndon B. Johnson was a upstander for passing the Bill of Rights even though much of congress didn't want to. A bystander was congress, they shouldn't have been bogus to John F. Kennedy & just should have passed the bill when he was alive,someone has to die now just to get what they want? Ha. A perpetrator of John F. Kennedy was the assassinator, he ruined alot of things for the world, not just America, but the world, I wish someone would assassinate him & throw his body in the garbage because, because thats what he is, garbage, oh yeah, & George Bush too. I bet alot of things would have been different in the world by now, like, maybe if he was still alive, George Bush wouldn't have ever became the president, & maybe, the twin towers wouldn't have been blown up, & maybe America wouldn't have been filled with so many lies about Osama Bin Laden & war & all that, it's all on Bush though. But ANYWAY, back to John F. Kennedy, I think he was the best president & I love love love him even though I wasn't alive in his time, in my opinion, I s t r o n g l y believe he's surperly important to the Civil Rights Movement, & to the WORLD & especially me, if I never knew about him, & if I never listened to his words, I don't know what I would do, that's why I think he is so important to America, people just don't notice it because their so drowned out by the media, & the media only tells people what people want to hear, like Osama Bin Laden is dead. I really don't believe that, it's problably just a cover up for something bigger. John F. Kennedy wouldn't allow things to go this far though, thats why I think he is the best president ever.

  74. My research topic is all about the Ku Klux Klan. This Klan, also known as the KKK,did alot of horrible, illegal things. These people in the group were perpetrators 100%, especially to blacks, and people that went aqainst them in any way. The victims would be either robbed, lynched, shot at, mobbed, or hanged by the perpetrators in the KKK. There was also a bunch of bystanders. When the KKK would hang, lynch, and torture innocent people that they just kidnapped or snatched off the street, there would usually do it infront of a crowd! People and children would actually watch other people being tortured, and killed! After that they would just leave the bodies hanging off a branch for like 2 days!

    My research topic is the, “Civil Rights Act of 1964.” On June 11, 1963 President John F. Kennedy introduced the civil rights bill, which became known as one of the most important event during the civil rights movement because it was luckily signed in July 1964, one year later. It won the respect of many blacks and whites too, but it became dangerous and full of risks. However, both the President Kennedy and the Vice-president Johnson stand up as upstanders and decided to establish equality no matter what risk they will take. An example of that was that they were the creators of the act. Another important upstander was the black leader, Martin Luther king. He supported it and helped to establish it as a law. With his famous speeches he stand up and never gave up on the Act of 1964. Most importantly about this act was the right to vote, ending discrimination, and establishing desegregation. But many blacks and whites didn’t do anything to support it because they were scared of the risks they will take. Therefore they back up as bystanders but still suffered even more. They still suffered all the violence and attacks by the perpetrators. The perpetrators were whites who opposed equality. They attacked blacks for no reason just because they wanted discrimination and segregation in America. No matter where, when, and how they included violence to every black citizen in America. The victims were the blacks who suffered beat ups,attacks,violence,lynching,shooting, and killing by the perpetrators of the whites. But after all, the civil rights act was finally sing by the new president Johnson and establish the right to vote, ending discrimination, and establishing desegregation! Finally I can conclude that the civil rights was the most important event during the civil rights movement because it was a law who won respect from many whites and showed to them how wrong they were…

    My reasearch topic is about Rosa Parks. One day when Rosa was coming home from work, in the bus, she sat on an empty row with some other Afrincan Americans. Then a white man got on the bus and since there wasn't any empty seats the bus driver told that hold row to give up their seats for that man. But ROSa being tired from work, and tired from being treated badd, didn't give up her seat. The bus driver then hadd her arrested for not following the law. I think that in this specific event Rosa Parks was the upstander for not giving up her seat, knowingg she was goingg to get arrested. I also thiink that the white man was the bystander because he could've told the bus driver that he could've gone standing.

  78. My topic is about one of the most known figures throughout the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. The way he took part in it was usin nonviolence resistance which was what he was most known for and still is. The blacks were the upsatnders and victims. They were victims because of the horrible way the blacks treated them and brutalized them too but they were also upstanders because they stood up in what they believed knowing that they could risk their lves and die. They did it anyway because they had faith that things would change. On the other hand whites were perpetrators and bystanders. Whites were the perpetrators because they knew what they were doing and didn't have a mental disease as an excuse. Whites would beat them to death. All the harm they caused them. Whites were also bystanders because if they saw another person doing something bad to the blacks they would just walk away and do nothing. Blacks did have rights and whites had no right to take it away from them after all the suffering.

Nixon by pay bail for her. He taught her into using her incident as a case to stop segregation on buses. By using her case she started the Montgomery Bus Boycott and made it illegal to have segregation on buses. Rosa Parks was an up stander because she didn’t give up her seat and fought against segregation. The bystanders are the people who gave up their seats without fighting back. The perpetrators is the bus drivers who made the black people give their seats and mistreated them. Another Perpetrator were the black people who rode the buses against the boycott.
