War on poverty

Write a paper in which you research and analyze President Lyndon B Johnson’s key initiatives for his “war on poverty” in the 1960’s.While often remembered for his failure to end the Vietnam War and his crude personality, president Johnson felt deeply about ending poverty. You should research what initiatives were put into place (remember that Congress and the Senate also played a role in passing them), what their goals were, and then how successful they have been, or if they have not been successful. When you are analyzing some of these laws and programs (choose a few, not all) look at what made them succeed or fail. Was there enough funding? Were they implemented in the same way in each state? Were the programs funded and ran by the federal or state governments, or a combination of both? Are these programs still workable today, or do they need to be modified?

Sexual violence against black women

We have been discussing McGuire’s novel thesis that sexual violence against black women and the response by black women to have those crimes investigated and prosecuted is what spawned the civil rights movement. As the movement progressed from the rape of Recy Taylor to late 1960s, the movement learned more and more about how to use media and the justice system to obtain justice for black people. Show the progression through the various crimes and the reactions to those crimes by black people through the book that eventually led to prosecutions of and long prison sentences for white men. What were the advances made in each instance? What were the lessons learned? How did the movement reach the point of obtaining prison sentences for rapes of black women and lynchings of black men? As always, draw upon the text by quoting and citing to support your claims.
