الملخص

The study tackles the modern black civil rights movement in the United States which took place between the early 1950s and late 1960s.During that period African Americans were deprived from basic political and civil voting rights. They were racially segregated, politically disenfranchised and marginalized from an economic point view. The study exhibits a detailed analysis of the nonviolent campaigns, marches, demonstrations being led by individual leaders like Martin Luther King and the organizations of the black civil rights movement, with the main goal of achieving social change.These marches and campaigns were as follows: Montgomery Bus 1955,the March on Washington in 1957, the Freedom Rides in 1961, the Freedom Project in 1962, the Birmingham Campaign in 1963, the March on Washington in 1963, St. Augustine 1965.The justification for the eruption of the black civil rights movement is that the Declaration of Independence of 1776 declared that all people are born equal and stressed equality and human rights. The American principles of justice, liberty and equality were applied to the whites, while blacks were deprived from all rights. This appeared to be a fundamental contradiction at the heart of the American democracy.Though slavery was abolished in 1865, but racial segregation remained legal until the 1960sand the increasing growth of racism and segregation against blacks, encouraged the creation of black civil rights organizations.This research the strategic events that attracted the attention of individuals and influenced their opinions, policies and strategies that they had followed during their struggle against discrimination and segregation.From historical the black civil rights movement in 1960s had some external factors which helped it in achieving its goals: At the time the United States was in a conflict with the Communists. During that era the United States wanted to market the American way by making it more attractive to the outside world by implementing democracy, while the internal conflict was against its claim of democracy and thus contradicting its claim in the external conflict.Therefore the external conflict with the Communists has paved the way for the eruption of the black civil rights movement.The research took Martin Luther King as a case study in order to explain how he was able to convince the organizations of the civil rights movement to follow his nonviolent strategy. The study concludes that during ten year period which extended from 1954 till 1965, the black civil rights movement, which had followed nonviolent direct action, managed to achieve social change and succeeded in breaking the back of racial segregation system and destroyed legal basis for denying blacks and other minorities' full access to education, employment, professions and opportunities of the private market place and public arena.The strategy of nonviolent direct action proved to be the most effective generator of change and a very successful method, which enabled an oppressed people to fight their oppressors. Thus nonviolence represents a model to be followed by other oppressed groups through their struggle for freedom and equality. offered a unique weapon in which, without shooting a single bullet, the African Americans were able to disarm their opponents. The study came out with the following recommendations: The American nonviolent struggle could be adopted by colonized people, such as the Palestinians struggle to gain their freedom and independence. It also recommended that the Palestinian Liberation Movement should be inspired by the black civil rights movement, and start thinking of establishing nonviolent liberation organizations.Also Palestinians should elect leaders for such organizations who believe in nonviolent struggles like that of Martin Luther King. In other words Palestinians need a Palestinian Martin Luther King.
