- DID EVENTS AT LITTLE ROCK HIGH SCHOOL BRING PROGRESS FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT?
- Yes Because..
- helped to moderate some of the white Americans views
- involved the president so showed civil rights was an issue which could no longer be ignored
- many US citizens saw racial hate in the southern states for the first time
- it was a big public failure which needed to be changed
- more laws were assed to de-segregate schools
- No Because..
- reliance on federal courts was not enough to secure a change
- demonstrated how states would be over ruled by federal government when necessary
- was seen on TV all around the world so did the USA no good to be seen as a oppressive nation when it was criticising communist countries for not allowing basic human rights to citizens
- Yes Because..
