What were some of the factors in the 1960s that led national leaders to determine that Jim Crow laws in the South needed to come to an end?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how Jim Crow laws had become an international embarrassment, since the United States was in the Cold War with the Soviet Union for the "hearts and minds" of people in the Third World, many of whom had dark skin.
2, Describe how elected leaders had become aware that African Americans in the North were using the vote effectively and that those in the South could be a source of votes.
3, Detail how the civil rights movement that had started in the 1950s had become much stronger in the 1960s, bringing moral pressure on national leaders to end Jim Crow.
