Module 5 Short Responses – Question 1 In the space below, specify which historical lens you'd like to use for this exercise.
The lens that I feel is best suited for this exercise is the political lens and the social lens. I chose these lenses because they are best defined and known for political events, parties, elections, voters, and government actions. It relates to this because so many African American had rights revoked because the passing of laws.
Module 5 Short Responses – Question 2 Next, formulate a research question about the civil rights movement (historical time from 1954 – 1968), using the lens you've chosen.
Considering the 14th amendment, with the impact of the civil rights movement, what difficulties were African Americans still facing in society?
Module 5 Short Responses – Question 3 First, go back and review the research question you developed in Step 1. For Step 2, first name two different primary sources that you might use to answer that question. Be
as specific as you can. Your primary sources should be found using the Shapiro Library.

Module 5 Short Responses – Question 4 Next, name two different secondary sources you could use to answer your research question. Again, be as specific as you can. Your secondary sources should be found
using the Shapiro Library.

Module 5 Short Responses – Question 5 Construct a thesis statement that provides an answer to the research question you posed
in Step 1. Base your response on the historical evidence that's been presented in this course so far, as well as any research you may have done on your own. With passing of laws that aided African Americans and provided them with equality and equal opportunities, racial tension was still in imminent issue that carried on and needed to be
eased. Module 5 Short Responses – Question 6 Name three specific historical events that can be considered contributory causes of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Briefly explain why you believe each of these events contributed to the passage of the Act.
Three events that can be considered contributory to the Voting Rights Acts are Bloody Sunday, Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Circumvention of Voter Rights. I feel that these events
contributed to the passage of the Act because in each event African Americans were fighting for equality.
Module 5 Short Responses – Question 7 Based on what you read about the passage of the Voting Rights Act on Page 1 of this
learning block, name one event that was part of the course
of this bill's passage by Congress.
The event that I chose is the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.
Module 5 Short Responses – Question 8 Name three specific consequences caused by the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
Three consequences caused by the passage of the Voting Rights Acts are
The representation of African Americans increased in Congress, State, and local offices.

of today's political debate. Which scholar was that? What sort of evidence did he use?
The scholar that relied on evidence is David Kennedy. Kennedy used topics in sensitive nature that was deemed inappropriate and not really discussed in the time frame.
Module 5 Short Responses – Question 10 One of these scholars relied heavily on evidence about the political process
. Which scholar was that? What sort of evidence did he use?
